IRELESS ETTINGS ASIC ◆Wireless On/Off — Enables or Disable the radio. (Default: Turn On) ◆Wireless Mode — There are 4 wireless mode, those are Access Point, WDS Access Point, WDS Repeater and WDS Client Note. If WEP authentication is selected for WDS communication, you will then only have one set of encryption for the entire channel.
ECURITY (WEP) IRED QUIVALENT RIVACY WEP provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized access to the network, and encrypting data transmitted between wireless clients and an access point. WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed to all clients that want to use the network. When you select to use WEP, be sure to define at least one static WEP key for user authentication or data encryption.
Page 35
◆WEP Keys — Sets WEP key values. The user must first select ASCII or hexadecimal keys. Each WEP key has an index number. Enter key values that match the key type and length settings. Enter 5 alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit keys, or enter 13 alphanumeric characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit keys.
