keys in the provided spaces, then click a radio button in the Selected Key column to specify which key to use and click Save.

128-BIT SHARED KEY

This option can be used with other 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN devices and with equipment from certain manufacturers that also support 128-bit shared key encryption. It provides a higher level of security than the 40-bit Shared Key (Wi-Fi) option and uses a more complicated type of encryption. This type of security requires you to set up encryption using a string or shared keys as described above in “40-bit Shared Key (Wi-Fi)” on page 32.

128-BIT DYNAMIC SECURITY LINK

This option can only be used with other 3Com 11 Mbps Wireless LAN devices when the bridge is set to the Access Point (Infrastructure) network mode. It is the highest level of security, requiring a user name and password to access the wireless LAN. The user name and password set up on the bridge must match those set up on the access point. Each network session creates a unique, one-time encryption code.

If you choose this type of security, you must also set up a login as described in “Setting up the Wireless Network Login” on page 33.

SETTING UP THE WIRELESS NETWORK LOGIN

Make sure the access point does not require Windows user authentication. The bridge cannot associate with access points that are set to Require Windows user authentication, which requires clients to enter a user name and password every time they associate with the network.

If you configure a bridge for 128-bit Dynamic Security Link, you must also set up a login user name and password, which must match a listing in the access point user access list. In the Security Settings page, click 128-bit Dynamic Security Link. Then click the link to modify the wireless network login. In the Wireless Network Login page, enter a login name and password, and confirm the password in the spaces provided. When you are finished, click Save.

RESETTING THE BRIDGE

If the bridge stops responding correctly, you can perform a reset, which disrupts the network association temporarily, but does not affect bridge configuration
