lower case characters only when typing the MAC address. You must identify the wireless station by filling the Name field.

Encrypting wireless connection

If you want to activate WEP, you have two options:

DUse a fixed default key for all stations. There are four default keys available and the key is selected by clicking the corresponding radio button. Typically, there is no need to use any other key than number 1.

DUse a separate station-specific key. Enter this key in the Client table Wep key field.

Before you type the encryption key, select the key length from the pull-down list. Available lengths are 40 bits and 128 bits. If you select a 40-bit key, you must enter a key with 10 characters. If you select a 128-bit key, you must enter a key with 32 characters. The key is a hexadecimal string, so the available characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, a, b, c, d, e, and f.

Note

Remember to configure the same key to your wireless client. If you use your wireless client for web configuration, you can copy the key from the Key field and paste it to the wireless LAN client software. Then you can click the Apply to activate encryption. Note, that if you enable encryption on either client or MW1122 only, the wireless link will be disconnected until you have enabled encryption on both devices.

There are five security modes which can be chosen from Encryption mode pull-down list:

DNo encryption; In this mode, encryption is always disabled. If a station tries shared-key authentication, a failed authentication will result.

DAllowed; In this mode, a station may use either open-key or shared-key authentication. If a station uses open-key authentication, encryption is disabled. If a station uses shared-key authentication, encryption is used.
