Security Description, Profile Section

For 128-bit encryption:

Hexadecimal: 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of “A-F”, “a-f ” and “0-9” (e.g. 00112233445566778899AABBCC).

4.When you are done, click the Apply button and click OK for the changes to take effect.

Important Note: The WEP keys must be set up exactly the same on all wireless devices in order to communicate with each other.

This table describes the options available from the Security section:


	Security				Description


	Enable WEP				Enables the data encryption for the wireless node. If you disable the
	Encryption				data encryption (by unchecking the box) then no encryption method
					will be used; this is also called Open System data encryption. To enable

					encryption is to use the Shared Key data encryption method.



	Create with				A Passphrase is use to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal
	Passphrase				numbers for the key. If your wireless network Access Point uses a
					Passphrase, you can use that here.
					Passphrase, you can use that here.
					Once you type in the Passphrase, the generated key will be shown
					before you click OK or Apply button.



	Manual Entry				The WEP hexadecimal numbers are needed if a Passphrase is not used
					in the wireless Access Point but rather if the key is manually entered.



	Key Length				The key length must be the same between all wireless nodes and Access
					Points in the same network. The possible values for the data encryption
					level are 64-bit and 128-bit. The 64-bit data encryption is also called

					40-bit data encryption by some vendors.


					The MA111 device uses a selected WEP key to encrypt and decrypt
	Key1
	Key2				information. When set to 64-bit (also called 40-bit), or 128-bit data
	Key2				encryption mode, you may specify up to four different keys to encrypt

	Key3				wireless data.
	Key4				Select one of the keys as a default key.

Profile Section

The Profile area allows you to set values for all parameters by selecting a previously defined profile.

To create a profile, in the Profile Name field, type a Profile Name; for example: Home, Office. When you are done, click the Save button in the Profile area, and click Apply. If one of the profiles is no longer used, display the name in the Profile Name field, then choose Delete. You can add and modify multiple profiles at any time.
