Setup Mode: Channel Configuration

Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or more for maximum security.

WPA

This firmware version allows only Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) for authentication.

Group encryption 1=WEP64, 2=WEP128, 3=TKIP (1) ?

Display current key (N) ?

Change key (N) ?

Key type 0=hex, 1=passphrase (1) ?

Enter key: () ?

Set the Group encryption type to 1 (WEP64), 2 (WEP128), or 3 (TKIP). The group encryption for all wireless devices communicating with the same access point must be equal to receive broadcast and multicast messages. If any of these devices is WEP-only (no support for WPA), set the group encryption to WEP for all devices.

Select Y (Yes) at the Display current key prompt to show the currently configured key/passphrase,

Select Y (Yes) at the Change key prompt to be able to modify the currently configured key by selecting Y (Yes).

The Key type requests whether the new key is in hexadecimal or passphrase format.

Enter key prompts for the new encryption key. The passphrase input is not the same as ASCII input (as used on other products). ASCII is translated directly into hexadecimal bytes according to the ASCII table. The WiBox passphrase is hashed using the Neesus Datacom algorithm (for WEP64) or MD5 (for WEP128).

The passphrase input is safer because it is up to 63 chars long. ASCII input is a maximum of 5 (WEP64) or 13 (WEP128) characters long and limits the number of key combinations.

Please refer to the other equipment’s manual to determine the passphrase input style recommended.

Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or more for maximum security.

Fixed or Automatic Data Rate

WiBox permits the control of the transmission rate. Select 0 to set a fixed data rate, or select 1 to set an automatic data rate. The default setting is 1 (auto).

TX Data rate 0=fixed, 1=auto (1) ? _

Transmission Data Rate

If the above TX Data rate is set to fixed, the selected data rate is the WiBox’s fixed transmission rate. If the above TX Data rate is set to auto, the selected data rate is the WiBox’s maximum data rate. Lower data rates allow for larger distances. They may also be required when communicating with older devices. The default setting is 11 Mbps.

TX Data rate 0=1, 1=2, 2=5.5, 3=11

4=18, 5=24, 6=36, 7=54 Mbps (0) ? _

Note: The WiBox’s maximum data rate cannot be selected when TX Data rate is set to auto.
