To be able to join the WLAN base station and exchange data with the LAN,
the WLAN cards of the notebooks as well as the base stations must have the
matching settings in different parameters. To be able to make a first network
contact, you must specify only the network name.
Defining a network name (SSID)
You must make this specification in any case. The network name must be
entered identically for all stations of the radio network. It is registered in the
AirLancer 54 software.
You have the possibility to store own profiles for different Wireless LANs in the
AirLancer 54 software.
If you use your notebook both in the office and at home, you could create two
profiles: a profile 'Work' for the office and a profile 'Home' for at home. If you
want to work in the evenings or during the weekend at home, then just switch
to the according profile.
Encryption of radio data
Activate the 802.11i/WPA or WEP encryption of your radio connection in the
AirLancer 54 software to secure the transmission over the radio link data so
that it cannot be read by others. Up to four different alphanumeric (5, 13 or
16 characters) or hexadecimal (10, 26 or 32 characters) keys are supported by
base stations in parallel.
