Channel No

To communicate in "802.11 Ad-hoc" or "Ad hoc" mode, all Wireless

 

 

stations MUST use the same Channel number.

 

 

∙ If using "802.11 Ad-hoc" or "Ad-hoc" mode, select the value you

 

 

wish to use on your Wireless LAN.

 

 

∙ If using "Infrastructure" mode, the Channel is selected

 

 

automatically, to match the Channel used by the Access Point.

 

 

∙ If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or

 

 

slow data transfers) you may need to experiment with different

 

 

channels to see which is the best.

 

 

 

 

Network Type

Select the correct value for your Wireless LAN.

 

 

802.11 Ad-hocmode is used when there is no Wireless Access

 

 

Point, and each Wireless station communicates directly with other

 

 

Wireless stations. This is the current standard.

 

 

Ad-hocmode is used when there is no Wireless Access Point, and

 

 

each Wireless station communicates directly with other Wireless

 

 

stations. This is the older standard.

 

 

Infrastructure mode is used when each Wireless station connects

 

 

to the Wireless Access point. This also provides access to the

 

 

wired LAN.

 

 

 

 

Encryption

 

 

 

 

 

WEP Disabled/

If Disabled (default), data is NOT encrypted before being transmitted.

 

Enabled

If Enabled, you must provide either the 64 Bit key table or the 128 Bit

 

 

 

 

keys, as described below. The key is used to encrypt the data before

 

 

transmission.

 

 

 

 

64 Bit

∙ If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key, before being

 

 

transmitted. The receiving station must be set to 64 Bit

 

 

Encryption, and have the same Key value in the same position in

 

 

its key table. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.

 

 

∙ Default Key - select the key you wish to be the default.

 

 

Transmitted data is ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key;

 

 

the other Keys are for decryption only.

 

 

Key Table:

 

 

This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All stations,

 

 

including this Access Point, always transmit data encrypted using their

 

 

default key. The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is also transmitted. The

 

 

receiving station will use the key number (1, 2, 3, 4) to determine

 

 

which key value to use for decryption. If the key value does not match

 

 

the transmitting station, decryption will fail.

 

 

The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to have every

 

 

Station, including the Access Point, use the same key table (all entries

 

 

identical). Then, it does not matter which key is used as the default

 

 

key.

 

 

 

 

128 Bit

If selected, data is encrypted using the key before being transmitted.

 

 

The receiving station must be set to use 128 Bit Encryption, and have

 

 

the same Key value. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.

 

 

 

 

WEP

Options are "Open System" or "Shared Key".

 

Authentication

Some Wireless cards and Access Points do not support both methods.

 

 

 

 

Check your documentation to determine the correct value to use.
