Entering WEP Data Encryption Keys

You can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all PCs and Access Points in your network.

Automatic. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase field, and click the Generate button. The four key fields will be automatically populated with key values.

Manual. Enter ten hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). Select which of the four keys will be the default.

See the link to the online document “Wireless Data Security Options” in Appendix 2 for a full explanation of each of these options, as defined by the IEEE 802.11 wireless communication standard.

Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address

To restrict access based on MAC addresses, follow these steps:

1.Connect to the WG102 Access Point.

Log in at the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.229 with the user name of admin and default password of password, or using the LAN address and password that you set up.

Note: When configuring the WG102 Access Point from a wireless computer whose MAC address is not in the access control list, if you select Turn Access Control On, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the wireless access point from a wired computer or from a wireless computer which is on the access control list to make any further changes.
