Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or
more for maximum security.
g) 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.
Group encryption 1=WEP64, 2=WEP128, 3=TKIP (1) ?
Display current key (N) ?
Change key (N) ?
Key type 0=hex, 1=passphrase (1) ?
Enter key: () ?
Set the Group encryption type to 1 (WEP64), 2 (WEP128), or 3 (TKIP). The
group encryption for all wireless devices communicating with the same access
point must be equal to receive broadcast and multicast messages. If any of
these devices are WEP-only (no support for WPA), set the group encryption to
WEP for all devices.
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 other 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.
Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or
more for maximum security.
8. Upon completing the IP and WLAN settings, select menu option 9 to save and
exit the WiBox Setup Mode.

Using Device Installer
You can use DeviceInstaller, a utility on the product CD, to manually assign the IP
address to the WiBox, view its current configuration settings, and upgrade its
firmware. DeviceInstaller only works with a wired Ethernet connection or if the
wireless settings are already set.
To install the DeviceInstaller:
1. Insert the product CD into your CD-ROM drive.
If the CD does not launch automatically:
