Wep Security - Hughes 9201 User Manual

WEP S
ECURITY
WEP Protection Status: Click on "On" from the drop down list to enable the Wireless Encryption
Protocol (WEP) for added security. When the terminal‟s WLAN interface is enabled, the WLAN
LED is either green (WEP is enabled) or red (WEP is not enabled). When the LED is red, any
computer with a WLAN interface can detect the terminal‟s WLAN SSID, and connect to it
automatically.
Encryption Level: 64 or 128 bit WEP encryption can be enabled.

WEP Key 1: Default WEP keys are formulated using the IMEI number of the terminal. If you

want to use different WEP keys, please use the following table as a reference when entering
the new WEP keys:
Hexadecimal 128-bit: Requires 26 characters. Recommended

Hexadecimal 64-bit: Requires 10 characters

Note: If WEP is enabled, you must provide other WLAN users with the proper WEP key in order for
them to connect to the terminal.
SSID Broadcast: For added security you can choose not to broadcast your SSID. (This feature
does not work with older units equipped with the Agere wireless LAN card. These units are
marked MCN 3003920-0001.)
MAC Filtering: For added security, click on ENABLE from the drop down list and then you can
define up to 10 selected MAC addresses that are allowed to connect to your WLAN. Note: To
find out the MAC address of a PC, go to a DOS prompt and type ipconfig /all. For Mac OS X,
under the Apple Menu go to "System Preferences" -> "Network" and Show "Airport". The "Airport
Id" is the MAC address. Alternatively, go to "About this Mac" -> "More Info" -> "Network" and
select "Airport"."
