Chapter 3. Communications Operations of the BHT
■ Security IDs
For assuring higher security, set security IDs to the BHTs. Those IDs should match
those of the access points.
Usually, use a same security ID for a company or a department (or section).
For the setting procedure of security IDs, refer to Subsection 2.5.3, [ 8 ] RF Menu.
BHT-7500W
For the setting procedure of RF-related parameters, refer to Subsection 2.5.3, "[ 8 ] RF
Menu
BHT-7500W."
■ Client Name
This is a BHT name to be used on the network.
■ Service Set ID (SSID)
SSID is an ID to be used on the communications network. The BHT is able to
communicate with devices having the same SSID. The SSID of the BHT should be the
same as that of the access point you want to use.
■ POWER SAVE
You may place the wireless module built in the BHT in the energy saving mode. If this
mode is set to "OFF," the service period of the BHT may be shortened. If it is set to ON,
the BHT may take more time to wake up for link operation or send response messages.
■ WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
When WEP is ON, messages to be sent/received over the wireless LAN will be encrypted.
The WEP KEY uses 40-bit (10-digit hexadecimal) or 128-bit (26-digit hexadecimal)
encryption word.
The BHT is able to definitely communicate with the access points having the same
WEP KEY.
■ WEP KEY
You can set four types of encryption keys (WEP KEY1 through WEP KEY4). If you
enable WEP, choose any one of WEP KEY1 through WEP KEY4 as TRANSMIT KEY.
■ AUTHENTICATE
This may set up the authentication system to be applied when WEP is enabled. You
can use either one of the two KEYs—OPEN and SHARED KEY to disable and enable the
authentication, respectively. If WEP is disabled, choose OPEN so that communication
is no longer possible. If WEP is enabled, choose SHARED KEY to enable wireless
communications.
■ TRANSMIT KEY
You need to use the TRANSMIT KEY in order to choose and activate any one of the
WEP KEY1 through WEP KEY4 already defined.
