Enter a Network Name (SSID). The default is BGAN, but you can change this if
3.
required.
Select a Region from the drop-down list.
4.
Select a Channel number from the drop-down list. This controls the channel number (1-
5.
14) used by the access point. Depending on the country only certain options are available
for selection. Channel 11 is common to almost all regulatory options and so is the default.
6. Select an Encryption rate from the drop-down list. There are two levels available, 64 bit
and 128 bit. 128 bit offers a higher level of security, but may cause a slight degradation in
performance.
Select an encryption type at the Enter WEP key in: text box. This can be either Hex or
7.
ASCII. Hex keys use hexadecimal numbers (0-9, A-F) to encrypt and decrypt data and are
the most widely supported format. Plain text (ASCII) keys are supported on some
operating systems (check that your operating system supports ASCII before you select this
option).
