keys in the provided spaces, then click a radio button in the Selected Key
column to specify which key to use and click Save.
128-BIT SHARED KEY
This option can be used with other 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN devices and
with equipment from certain manufacturers that also support 128-bit shared key
encryption. It provides a higher level of security than the 40-bit Shared Key (Wi-Fi)
option and uses a more complicated type of encryption. This type of security
requires you to set up encryption using a string or shared keys as described above
in “40-bit Shared Key (Wi-Fi)” on page 32.
128-BIT DYNAMIC SECURITY LINK
This option can only be used with other 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN devices
when the bridge is set to the Access Point (Infrastructure) network mode. It is the
highest level of security, requiring a user name and password to access the
wireless LAN. The user name and password set up on the bridge must match
those set up on the access point. Each network session creates a unique,
one-time encryption code.
If you choose this type of security, you must also set up a login as described in
“Setting up the Wireless Network Login” on page 33.
SETTING UP THE WIRELESS NETWORK LOGIN
If you configure a bridge for 128-bit Dynamic Security Link, you must also set up
a login user name and password, which must match a listing in the access point
user access list. In the Security Settings page, click 128-bit Dynamic Security Link.
Then click the link to modify the wireless network login. In the Wireless Network
Login page, enter a login name and password, and confirm the password in the
spaces provided. When you are finished, click Save.
RESETTING THE BRIDGE
If the bridge stops responding correctly, you can perform a reset, which disrupts
the network association temporarily, but does not affect bridge configuration
Make sure the access point does not require Windows user authentication. The bridge
cannot associate with access points that are set to Require Windows user
authentication, which requires clients to enter a user name and password every
time they associate with the network.
