Wireless Settings Page - Security Options - Static WEP

A Static WEP security method requires that both a target WAP be identified and an encryption method be implemented prior to establishing an active communication session. In addition to providing both Open and Shared Authentication capabilities, this page also supports Hexadecimal and ASCII keys. Refer to the Configuring a Wireless Connection section on page 59 for further details on these security options. Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 61 for more information on using this feature. Pressing the Static WEP button opens the Static WEP Settings dialog (FIG. 103).

Required Information:

- SSID (Network Name used by the Target WAP) - Encryption Method

- Passphrase

- WEP Key assignment - Authentication Method

Wireless Security - Static WEP Settings

SSID (Service Set Identifier): The SSID is the unique name used on the WAP and then assigned to all panels in a wireless network that are communicating to the same target WAP.

 

• This is required by the WAP before the panel is permitted to join the

 

wireless network.

 

• It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters, which may be any

 

keyboard character. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your

 

wireless network.

 

• This unique string identifies the network and is the same string for all users

 

on the same network.

 

• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any

 

previously stored SSID information.

 

 

WEP 64 / WEP 128:

Cycles through the available encryption options: 64 Bit Key Size or

 

128 Bit Key Size.

 

Wired Equivalent Privacy is an 802.11 security protocol for wireless networks.

 

The WEP encryption method is designed to provide the "equivalent" security

 

available as in wireline networks.

 

WEP64 enables WEP encryption using a 64 Bit Key Size. In this case all

 

packets will be transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default

 

WEP Key.

 

WEP128 enables WEP encryption using a 128 Bit Key Size. All packets are

 

transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.

 

• If the key is not the correct size, the system will resize it to match the

 

number of bits required for the WEP encryption mode selected.
