Configuration Via Serial Mode or Telnet Port
5-20 WiPort™ User Guide
Security
As an additional security measure, enable WEP on the WiPort. The current value is
displayed in parentheses. By default, WEP is disabled on WiPort.
Security 0=none, 1=WEP (0) ? _
Data Rate
WiPort permits the control of the transmission rate. The default is a data rate up to
11Mbps. The current value is displayed in parentheses.
Data rate, Only : 0=1, 1=2, 2=5.5, 3=11 Mbps or
Up to: 4=2, 5=5.5, 6=11 Mbps (6) ?
Power Management
Power management reduces the overall power consumption of the WiPort unit.
Enabling power management increases the response time. The current value is
displayed in parentheses.
Enable power management (N) ? _
Expert Settings Note: Change these settings via Telnet or serial connections only.
Caution: Only an expert should change these parameters. These changes
hold serious consequences.
TCP Keepalive Time
TCP Keepalive time defines how many seconds the unit waits during a silent
connection before checking whether the currently connected network device is still on
the network. If the unit does not receive a response, it drops that connection.
TCP Keepalive time in s (1s – 65s; 0s=disable): (45)? _
ARP Cache Timeout
When the unit communicates with another device on the network, it adds an entry
into its ARP table. ARP Cache timeout defines the number of seconds (1-600) the
unit waits before timing out this table.
ARP Cache timeout in s (1s – 65s; 0s=disable): (600)? _
Security Settings Change security settings via Telnet or serial connections only, not on the Web-
Manager.
Note: As recommended, set security over the dedicated network or over the
serial setup. If the parameters are set over the network (Telnet 9999),
someone else could capture these settings.
Caution: Disabling both Telnet Setup and Port 77FE prevent users from
accessing the setup menu from the network.
