Peer Bridge

Type the MAC address of peer device in valid MAC address format, that is, six

 

 

MAC Address

hexadecimal character pairs, for example, 12:34:56:78:9a:bc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WEP Encryption

Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the AP without any data

 

 

 

encryption.

 

 

 

Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.

 

 

Authentication

Select Auto, Open System Only or Shared Key Only from the drop-down list box.

 

 

Method

This field is N/A if WEP is not activated.

 

 

 

If WEP encryption is activated, the default setting is Auto.

Select this option to enter ASCII characters as the WEP keys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hex

Select this option to enter hexadecimal characters as the WEP keys.

 

 

 

The preceding “0x” is entered automatically.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Key 1 to

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the AP and the wireless stations must

 

 

Key 4

use the same WEP key for data transmission.

 

 

 

If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal

 

 

 

characters ("0-9", "A-F").

 

 

 

If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal

even when the ZyAIR is on and data is being transmitted/received.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Output Power

Set the output power of the ZyAIR in this field. If there is a high density of APs within

 

 

 

an area, decrease the output power of the ZyAIR to reduce interference with other

 

 

 

APs.

 

 

 

The options are 11dBm (12.6mW), 13dBm (20mW), 15dBm (32mW) or 17dBm

 

 

 

(50mW).
