Note
5.3 Security
This section describes the parameters available through the Security menu. RapidLink 54 provides two forms of
security, access control and privacy. Access control is achieved by MAC address authentication, which allows only
known devices to associate with the Base Station and establish a wireless connection. Another component of access
control is the password protected user interface, which can be configured on the Security page. Privacy is
accomplished by enabling encryption that prevents rogue stations or wireless sniffers from decoding any captured
data. RapidLink 54 provides 128-bit WEP encryption option on the Security page.
Changing your Password
We recommend that you change your Login and Password from the factory default setting to authenticate the identity
of the RapidLink 54 administrator and ensure that no unauthorized users gain access to the WLM.
To change your Login and Password, type a new Login name (16 characters maximum). Next, enter a new
Password, (16 characters maximum) and enter it again to confirm.
Tip Create passwords according to the following guidelines:
