3.2.3 Site Survey
The Site Survey window displays
the available networks within the
A202's range, as well as the
following network settings.
BSSID - The IEEE MAC address of
the available wireless networks.
SSID - SSID (service set identifier)
of the network.
CH - Direct sequence channel used by the network.
RSSI - Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) in dBm.
Security - shows whether a network has WEP encryption enabled (On)
or disabled (Off).
Select an available network and click Connect to establish connection.
Click Search to rescan available networks.
3-10
64-bit and 40-bit WEP keys use the same encryption method and
can interoperate on wireless networks. This lower level of WEP
encryption uses a 40-bit (10 hexadecimal digits assigned by the
user) secret key and a 24-bit Initialization Vector assigned by the
wireless LAN adapter. 104-bit and 128-bit WEP keys use the same
encryption method.
After assigning the WEP keys, click APPLY to save and activate the
encryption. Manually assigned encryptions are more secure than
automatically generated encryptions.
Use Manual Assignment instead of Automatic Generation if you are
not sure whether other wireless clients use the same algorithm as
that of the A202.
Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys.
