Key type

Indicate whether the new key is in hexadecimal or

 

passphrase format.

Enter key

Enter the passphrase. The maximum length is 63 characters.

 

Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters

 

or more for maximum security.

Encryption

Set the type to the minimum required security level. The “+”

 

sign indicates that the group (broadcast) encryption method

 

is different from the pairwise (unicast) encryption. For

 

example, for CCMP+TKIP, CCMP is the pairwise encryption

 

and TKIP is the group encryption. CCMP is the default.

Fixed or Automatic Data Rate

WiBox 2100E 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 fallback (1) ? _

Transmission Data Rate

If the above TX Data rate is set to fixed, the selected data rate is the WiBox 2100E’s fixed transmission rate. If the above TX Data rate is set to auto, the selected data rate is the WiBox 2100E’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 54 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 2100E’s maximum data rate cannot be selected when TX Data rate is set to auto.

Minimum TX Data Rate

Selects the minimum data rate the device will use when auto-fallback is enabled. The default is 1 Mbps.

MinTX Data Rate 0=1, 1=2, 2=5.5, 3=11, 4=18, 5=24, 6=36, 7=54 Mbps <0> ? _

Note: If Auto Rate Fallback is enabled and a minimum TX data rate other than 1Mbps is configured, the radio will operate in Single Rate Drop mode. This means that if a rate drop becomes necessary, the radio will drop from the maximum rate to the lowest rate, ignoring all
