Wireless LAN Setup

 

 

 

Name (SSID)

Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the

 

wireless LAN.

 

If you change this field on the ZyAIR, make sure all wireless stations use the

 

same Name (SSID) in order to access the network.

Choose Channel ID

To manually set the ZyAIR to use a channel, select a channel from the drop-

 

down list box. Open the Channel Usage screen to make sure the channel is

 

not already used by another AP or independent peer-to-peer wireless network.

 

To have the ZyAIR automatically select a channel, click Scan instead.

 

 

Scan

Click this button to have the ZyAIR automatically scan for and select a channel

 

with the least interference.

WEP Encryption

Select Disable allows all wireless computers to communicate with the access

 

points without any data encryption.

 

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

 

 

ASCII

Select this option in order 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 Key 4

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the ZyAIR and the wireless

 

stations must 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

 

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

 

You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one

 

time. The default key is key 1.
