Configure EAP in the Security/802.11g
screen.
■ Note: For MAC Access Restriction, do not
check the "Enable" box until you have set up
Authorized MAC addresses (Section 9.8.4.3).
9.10.6 Privacy, WEP
Set the encryption method used in wireless
communications for the protection of your
data. It is necessary that the WEP key match
between two parties for secure communica-
tions. If multiple keys are used, the order
must match between communicating devices.
Examples of WEP key input are:
• 5 digits of ASCII characters. They are case
sensitive and “_” is allowed, i.e. Skey5.
• 10 digits of hexadecimal numbers, i.e.
a3d58b62fe.
• If WEP is not used, leave the box blank or
input all 0s, which is equivalent to no-WEP.
9.10.7 PS - Privacy Separator
Enables automatic selection of the WLM2-
G54 with the least load within the roaming
area. If PS is used, communications between
wireless clients will be automatically blocked.
All clients are forced to go through the
WLM2-G54 and the system’s combined
security measures.
9.10.8 BSS (Basic Service Set) Basic Rate Set
The transmission data rate between devices.
If one device supports 2Mbps only, the data
rate for the entire network will be limited to
2Mbps. Otherwise, use 11Mbps max.
9.10.9 DTIM Period
WLM2-G54 transmits beacon signals to
nearby clients in the preset interval. Once
this option is used in the AP, the client must
set the power management of the client card
in order to control the beacon interval.
Select a number from 1~255 sec. Selection
of a larger number may save energy
consumption, but it may delay wireless
communication. The default value 1
recommended.
9.10.10 ANY Connection
Allows a client PC to connect to the nearest
WLM2-G54 by manually entering the word
"any" for the ESS-ID in the Client Manager. If
the "ANY Connection" is deselected in the
WLM2-G54, the WLM2-G54 will not be
found using the ESS-ID of "any" in the client
PC.
9.11 Link Integrity Settings
Link Integrity is a rerouting feature activated
when the wired connection is lost.
(see previous page)
9.11.1 Link Integrity
Enable or disable the Link Integrity feature.
9.11.2 Destination Host
Specify a host server name to which the
WLM2-G54 sends packets to confirm
connection.
