b) Topology: Select Infrastructure (ESS) mode or AdHoc (IBSS).
Infrastructure mode communicates with Access Points. Ad Hoc mode
communicates only with other clients.
Topology 0=Infrastructure, 1=AdHoc (0) ?
c) Network Name (SSID): Enter the name of the network to which the WiBox
will connect.
Network name (SSID) (LTRX_IBSS) ? _
d) Ad Hoc Network Creation Channel: When Ad Hoc mode is selected, and
the WiBox cannot find the specified network, it creates one with that name by
transmitting a beacon on the selected channel.
Channel (11) ?
Only channels allowed in the country for which the WiBox is designated can
be selected. The country displays in the Setup Mode settings overview.
e) Security: The WiBox features WEP and WPA to secure all wireless
communication. If Ad Hoc is selected as topology, only WEP is available.
Security 0=none, 1=WEP, 2=WPA (0) ? _
f) WEP:
Authentication 0=open/none, 1=shared (0) ? _
Encryption 0=WEP64, 1=WPE128 (0) ?
Display current key (N) ?
Change key (N) ?
Key type 0=hex, 1=passphrase (0) ?
Enter key:
Authentication selects whether the encryption keys are matched (1 = shared)
with those of the communication partner before passing through messages or
not (2 = open/none).
The Encryption prompt requests the length of the encryption key and the
security strength. WEP64 uses a 40 bits/5 bytes key (option 0). WEP128 uses
a 104 bits/13 bytes key (option 1).
Select Y (Yes) at the Display current key prompt to show the currently
configured key/passphrase.
Select Y (Yes) at the Change key prompt to be able to modify the currently
configured key.
The Key type requests whether the new key is in hexadecimal or passphrase
format.
Enter key prompts for 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 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.
