WiBox® 2100E Device Server User Guide 22
Property Description
communication partner before passing through messages or not (2 =
open/none).
Encryption
Length of the encryption key and the security strength. WEP64 uses a 40
bits/5 bytes key (option 1). WEP128 uses a 104 bits/13 bytes key (option 2).
Change key Select (Y) Yes to modify the currently configured key.
Display Key Select (Y) Yes to show the currently configured key/passphrase
Key type
Indicate whether the new key is in hexadecimal or passphrase format.
Enter key
Enter the new encryption key. The passphrase input is not the same as ASCII
input (as used on some products). ASCII is translated directly into
hexadecimal bytes according to the ASCII table. The WiBox 2100E
passphrase is hashed using the Neesus Datacom algorithm (for WEP64) or
MD5 (for WEP128).
The passphrase input is safer because it is up to 63 chars long. ASCII input is
a maximum of 5 (WEP64) or 13 (WEP128) characters long and limits the
number of key combinations.
Please refer to the other equipment’s manual to determine the passphrase
input style recommended.
Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or more for
maximum security.
TX Key index
Select the WEP key used for transmissions. Enter a value from 1 to 4.
TX Data rate
Select the Data Transmit rate. The value are 1 MB, 2 MB, 5.5 MB, 11 MB, 18
MB, 24 MB, 36 MB, and 54 MB.
WPA: This firmware version allows only Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) for authentication and
encryption. Topology must be set to Infrastructure for the WPA option to display.

Property Description
Change key
Select (Y (Yes) to modify the currently configured key.
Display key
Select (Y) Yes at the prompt to show the currently configured key/passphrase
Key type Indicate whether the new key is in hexadecimal or passphrase format.
Enter key Enter the passphrase. The maximum length is 63 characters.
Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or more
for maximum security.
Encryption Set the type to the minimum required security level. The “+” sign indicates that
the group (broadcast) encryption method is different from the pairwise
(unicast) encryption (WEP and TKIP).
