Channel

The communications channel to be used can be chosen from

 

either AUTO or a number between 1 and 11.

 

Choosing AUTO will allow the BL-WV10A to automatically

 

detect an available channel at launch. If the quality of the

 

connection is not, you can manually choose another channel

 

as well.

 

 

Encryption

Choose to turn encryption either on or off.

 

Sets an encryption key when encryption is turned on.

 

 

Encryption

Sets an encryption key when encryption is turned on.

Key

Up to 4 encryption keys can be set in advance.

 

Allowable keys:

 

Choose from encryption keys 1 through 4 to use with

 

encryption.

 

Key types:

 

The types of encryption keys are 64 bit (10 hexadecimal digits

 

or 5 letters), 128 bit (26 hexadecimal digits or 13 letters), or 152

 

bit (32 hexadecimal digits or 16 letters). The level of security

 

increases with the number of bits, but there may be a slight

 

decrease in network speed as a result.

 

Keys 1 through 4:

 

Enter an encryption key that corresponds in length to the type

 

selected.

 

 

MAC Address

Choose to either turn MAC address filtering (to specify the

Filtering

addresses of connected devices) on or off. Turning it on will

 

allow you to specify the MAC addresses of the devices which

 

are allowed to connect. Up to 16 address can be specified.

 

 

Note

Use the same encryption key number and type for any wireless terminal to be connected.

Note

To register a BL-C30A, you will need to specify 2 MAC addresses. Choose the MAC address indicated on the base of the BL-C30A and one from the following table based on the last digit in the BL-C30A's MAC address.

0 —> 1

2 —> 3

4 —> 5

6 —> 7

8 —> 9

A —> B

C —> D

E —> F

For example, if the MAC address for the BL-C30A is 00:80:F0:54:C0:C4, you should specify 00:80:F0:54:C0:C4 and 00:80:F0:54:C0:C5.

Certain changes may require the BL-WV10A to restart.
