Setup Mode: Channel Configuration

DisConnTime (00:00) ?:

To disable the inactivity timeout, enter 00:00. Range is 0 (disabled) to 5999 seconds (99 minutes, 59 seconds). The default setting is 0.

Send Characters

Enter up to two characters in hexadecimal representation in sendchar.

SendChar 1 (00) ? _

SendChar 2 (00) ? _

If the unit receives a character on the serial line that matches one of these characters, it sends the character immediately, along with any awaiting characters, to the TCP connection. This action minimizes the response time for specific protocol characters on the serial line (for example, ETX, EOT). Setting the first sendchar to 00 disables the recognition of the characters. Alternatively, the unit can interpret two characters as a sequence (see Pack Control on page 61). The default setting is 00.

Telnet Terminal Type

This parameter displays only if you enabled the terminal type option in Disconnect Mode. With this option enabled, you can use the terminal name for the Telnet terminal type. Enter only one name.

With terminal type option enabled, the unit also reacts to the EOR (end of record) and binary options, useful for applications like terminal emulation to IBM hosts.

Channel (Port) Password

This parameter displays only if the channel (port) password option is enabled in Disconnect Mode. With this option enabled, you can set a password on the serial port. Blank by default.

WLAN Settings

Without adequate protection, a wireless LAN is susceptible to access by unauthorized users. As such, WiBox features the WPA security standard, based on IEEE802.11i and IEEE802.1X. WEP is provided for backwards compatibility and interaction with older devices.

To modify WLAN settings, select 4 WLAN from the Change Setup menu.

Enable WLAN

Enable the Ethernet or the Wireless interface. When WLAN is enabled, the Ethernet interface is disabled.

Enable WLAN (Y) ? _

Topology

Select Infrastructure (ESS) mode or Adhoc (IBSS) mode. Infrastructure mode communicates with Access Points. Ad Hoc mode communicates only with other clients.
