Lantronix Ethernet manual Using Device Installer, To install the DeviceInstaller

Quick Start

Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or more for maximum security.

g)WPA: This firmware version allows only Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) for authentication and encryption. Topology must be set to Infrastructure for the WPA option to display.

Group encryption 1=WEP64, 2=WEP128, 3=TKIP (1) ? Display current key (N) ?

Change key (N) ?

Key type 0=hex, 1=passphrase (1) ? Enter key: () ?

Set the Group encryption type to 1 (WEP64), 2 (WEP128), or 3 (TKIP). The group encryption for all wireless devices communicating with the same access point must be equal to receive broadcast and multicast messages. If any of these devices are WEP-only (no support for WPA), set the group encryption to WEP for all devices.

Select Y (Yes) at the Display current key prompt to show the currently configured key/passphrase

Select Y (Yes) at the Change key prompt to be able to modify the currently configured key.

The Key type requests whether the new key is in hexadecimal or passphrase format.

Enter key prompts for the new encryption key. The passphrase input is not the same as ASCII input (as used on other products). ASCII is translated directly into hexadecimal bytes according to the ASCII table. The WiBox passphrase is hashed using the Neesus Datacom algorithm (for WEP64) or MD5 (for WEP128).

The passphrase input is safer because it is up to 63 chars long. ASCII input is a maximum of 5 (WEP64) or 13 (WEP128) characters long and limits the number of key combinations.

Please refer to the other equipment’s manual to determine the passphrase input style recommended.

Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or more for maximum security.

8.Upon completing the IP and WLAN settings, select menu option 9 to save and exit the WiBox Setup Mode.

9.To further configure the WiBox, continue to 4: Web-Manageror

5: Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode) Configuration.

Using Device Installer

You can use DeviceInstaller, a utility on the product CD, to manually assign the IP address to the WiBox, view its current configuration settings, and upgrade its firmware. DeviceInstaller only works with a wired Ethernet connection or if the wireless settings are already set.

To install the DeviceInstaller:

1.Insert the product CD into your CD-ROM drive. If the CD does not launch automatically:
