The optional Master Name parameter of up to 11 characters
specifies an alphanumeric name to simplify the identification of
each Master in your network. You may not have spaces in the
name. This parameter is visible only when the Ethernet Adapter
is set as a Master.
To further improve the security of a wireless subnetwork, each
unit requires the same Security ID to establish communication.
The Security ID is used on all RangeLAN2 products and all
Station Types. This ID is encrypted and stored within the
RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter itself, not in software. It cannot
be accessed, but you may change it. However, if you do change
it, then you will need to change the Security ID on all of the
other radios to the same new value to reestablish communica-
tion.
The Security ID parameter can be up to 20 characters and is an
empty string by default. There are 1,048,576 unique choices for
the Security ID.
Note:
The Security ID value is not a software parameter but
is stored within the Ethernet Adapter’s radio. There-
fore, if you choose the Reset Parameters to Factory
Defaults option from within the Ethernet Adapter
Main Menu, the Security ID will not be reset to its
default value.
The Repeating Enabled parameter gives the ability to enable or
disable the RangeLAN2 repeating feature. When enabled, a
RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter, acting as a Master, will repeat
signals coming from one Station and destined for another Sta-
tion. These two Stations must be out of range of one another,
but both in range of the RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter for
repeating to occur.
