The Encryption dialog box enables you to identify 4 different encryption key and select one of them to
encrypt your transmission data. The key value of your choice may either be:
l Five ASCII character string, or;
l 10-digit hexadecimal values in the range of a to f, A to F and 0 to 9, proceeded by the characters 0x
(e.g., 0x11AA22BB33).
Select one key as the active key to encrypt wireless data. Then click on the OK button
NOTE: To allow encrypted data communications, you must set the same
encryption key values on all wireless stations and/or Access Points. For
example, if you use Key 1 on your ZyAIR 100 and the value is (e.g., MyCar), the
same value must be assigned to Key 1 for all other client stations. The values
you enter on the Encryption dialog box will only be visible the first time you enter
the keys. After closing this dialog box, all Key values will be displayed as
“xxxxxxxxxxxx” every time the tab is displayed again.
Frag Threshold
The Fragmentation function is used for improving the efficiency when high traffic flows along in the
wireless network. If your ZyAIR 100 often transmit large files in the wireless network, you can enable the
Fragmentation Threshold by clicking the Enable button and the function will split the packet. The value
can be set from 256 to 2432. Default value is Disable.
