Network Type
Select the correct value for your Wireless LAN.
• Ad-hoc mode is used when there is no Wireless Access Point, and
each Wireless station communicates directly with other Wireless
stations.
• Infrastructure mode is used when each Wireless station connects
to the Wireless Access point. This also provides access to the
wired LAN.
WEP Encryption
WEP Disable/
Enable
If Disabled (default), data is NOT encrypted before being transmitted.
If Enabled, you must provide either the 64 Bit key table or the 128 Bit
keys. The key is used to encrypt the data before transmission.
WEP
Authentication
Options are "Open System" or "Shared Key".
Select the method (Open System or Shared Key) used by other
Wireless Stations.
Shared Key is more secure than Open System.
64 Bits/128Bits
Select "64Bits" or "128Bits" as required to match other Wireless
stations on your WLAN. Stations which do not have matching settings
will be unable to communicate.
128 bit Keys are more secure than 64 bit Keys.
Key Table
Enter the key values to match other Wireless stations on your WLAN.
This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All stations
always transmit data encrypted using their default key (see below).
The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is also transmitted. The receiving station
will use the key number (1, 2, 3, 4) to determine which key value to
use for decryption. If the key value does not match the transmitting
station, decryption will fail.
The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to have every
Station, including the Access Point, use the same key table (all entries
identical). Then, it does not matter which key is used as the default
key.
Default Key
Select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted data is
ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; the other Keys are for
decryption only.
