MSS User Guide 4: Configuration
4-21
Once WEP is enabled, you must enter a WEP key if you have not previously done so.
The key can be either 40-bits or 128-bits. To enter a WEP key, use the Change 80211
WEP Key command.
Each key is also assigned an index number, which is an integer between 1 and 4. To
enter the index number, use the Change 80211 WEP Index command.

Local>> CHANGE 80211 WEP KEY 26-e4-97-db-1f
Local>> CHANGE 80211 WEP INDEX 3
Local>> CHANGE 80211 RESET
Encrypted Traffic
Once WEP is enabled, the MSS will allow reception of both encrypted and unencrypted
traffic. You can disable the reception of unencrypted traffic by entering the following
command:
Figure 4-76: Disabling WEP Unencrypted Traffic Reception
Local>> CHANGE 80211 WEP RECEIVE ENCRYPTED
Local>> CHANGE 80211 RESET
This command will cause the MSS to discard and ignore any unencrypted wireless
frames that it receives and accept only frames encrypted with its WEP key.
Formatting an ATA Flash Card
Certain kinds of ATA flash memory and disk storage cards can also be used in the PC
card slots. Before you insert any kind of card into the MSS, please check the Lantronix
web site to make sure that your card is supported and read this section carefully.
Note: The MSS does not support PC card hot-swapping. Any time you insert a PC card
into an MSS PC card slot, you must reboot the MSS.
ATA cards must be formatted before you can use them with your MSS. To format an
installed ATA card, issue the Disk Format command for either /pccard1 (if the card is in
the top PC card slot) or for /pccard2 (for the bottom slot). This command erases all the
existing data on the card and formats the card for use with the MSS.

Local>> DISK FORMAT /PCCARD1
Once a card has been formatted for use with the MSS, it will be available for immediate
use anytime the MSS is started up. The formatted card can be used the same as the on-
board MSS Flash disk (see Disk Management on page 5-6 for more information). If the
card is ever reformatted for use with another system, such as a laptop, you will need to
reformat it before using it again with the MSS.
Modem Cards
Certain kinds of modem PC cards can be used with the MSS. Check the Lantronix web
site for a list of currently supported cards.
Note: The MSS does not support PC card hot-swapping. Any time you insert a PC card
into an MSS PC card slot, you must reboot the MSS.
