4.6.3 SECURITY FEATURES

SSID (Service Set ID)

The clients share the same SSID with the access point. The access point connects
these clients to the network. The access point rejects any other devices. When a
client does not have an SSID, it tries to find the nearest access point.
NOTE: The user can specify an SSID with the Web Status Monitor or telnet.

SSID in Ad Hoc Mode

When no SSID is set, the client can use the ASSID as the SSID in the ad hoc
mode (the needs an ASSID for this).
Some devices automatically change from the ad hoc mode to the infrastructure
mode when the same SSID is set for the ad hoc mode and for the infrastructure
mode. To use such a device also in the ad hoc mode, specify an ASSID.
NOTE: The SSIDs in the ad hoc mode are also known as Network Name.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

WEP is a coding system designed to protect wireless data transmission. To decrypt
encoded data, the recipient device needs the proper WEP key. There are two types
of WEP keys–64 bit and 128 bit. B129/B130/B168/B169 supports the 64-bit WEP
key only.
NOTE: The user can specify a WEP key with the Web Status Monitor or telnet.

MAC Address

Some access points demand an MAC address in the infrastructure mode; other
access points do not demand it.
