DHCP — Indicates the IP Interface is dynamically created.
■
IP Address — Displays the currently configured IP address.
■
Subnet Mask — Displays the currently configured IP address
■
mask.
Default Gateway — Displays the currently configured default
■
gateway.
Wireless Configuration — Provides information for configuring
■
Extended Service Sets (ESS). The Wireless Configuration parameters
can be manually configured in Step 4. The section includes the
following fields:
SSID Name — Displays the Service Set Identifier SSID for the ESS.
■
SSIDs act as a password when a mobile device attempts to connect
to the BSS. SSIDs differentiate between WLANs, therefore all access
points and devices which comprise the specific WLAN must have
the same SSID. Devices not providing a unique SSID are denied
network access. Each SSID must be unique, and can contain up-to
32 characters.
Security Type —
■
The possible field values are:
Open — Enables open system authentication without
■
encryption.
WEP — Indicates that Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the
■
selected WLAN security method. WEP provides the same security
level as a wired LAN. WEP encrypts data over radio waves during the
packet transmission. WEP keys are 40 bit or 104 bit encryption keys.
WPA-PSK — Indicates that Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the
■
selected WLAN security method. WPA is based on WEP, but provides
enhanced encryption using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). In
addition, WPA improves authentication using EAP. EAP ensures that
only authorized network users access the network though secure
encryption systems.
WPA2-PSK — Indicates that WPA2-PSK is the selected WLAN
■
security method. WPA2-PSK improves system security by encrypting
signals at a higher bit rates.
VLAN ID — Displays the VLAN ID. The field range is 1-4094.
