Description

Settings

 

 

SSID

 

Specify the name of the wireless network (SSID) for the SoftAP.

 

 

 

Channel

 

Specify the channel for the SoftAP.

 

 

 

Suite

 

Specify the security suite to be used for the SoftAP.

 

 

None = no authentication or encryption method will be used.

 

 

WPA = WiFi Protected Access

 

 

WPA2 = Robust Secure Network.

 

 

 

Encryption

 

Select one or more encryption types, listed from strongest to least strong.

 

 

CCMP = Uses AES as basis and is the strongest encryption option.

 

 

TKIP = Uses WEP as the basis, but adds extra checks and variations for

 

 

added protection.

 

 

 

Passphrase

 

Select the passphrase which may consist of up to 63 characters.

 

 

Note: This configuration option becomes available only when suites WPA

 

 

or WPA2 are selected. Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20

 

 

characters or more for maximum security. Spaces and punctuation

 

 

characters are permitted. The passphrase input is not the same as ASCII

 

 

input (as used on some products.) ASCII is translated directly into

 

 

hexadecimal bytes according to the ASCII table, while a possibly larger

 

 

passphrase is hashed into a key and provides better security through a

 

 

larger range of key values.
