BIPAC-74x Series Router – 741 GE, 741 GE V2.0 and 743 GE
Wireless (743 GE only)
ESSID: This is the unique ID given to the Access Point (AP). By default, the router comes
preconfigured with the ESSID "wlan-ap". To connect the device, your wireless clients must
have the same ESSID as the device.
Regulation Domain: There are seven Regulation Domains for you to choose from,
including North America (N.America), Europe, France, Spain, Japan, Israel, and
Australia. The Channel ID will be different based on this setting.
Channel ID: Select the ID channel that you would like to use.
WEP Encryption: To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data
transmitted over the network, the router offers highly secure data encryption, known as
WEP. If you require high security for transmissions, there are two alternatives to select
from: WEP 64 and WEP 128. WEP 128 offers increased security over WEP 64.
Passphrase: This is used to generate WEP keys automatically based upon the input
string and a pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128. You can input the same string in
both the AP and Client card settings to generate the same WEP keys. Please note that
you do not have to enter Key (0-3) as below when the Passphrase is enabled.
Default Used WEP Key: Select the encryption key ID, please refer to Key (0-3) below.
Note that on Windows and some wireless card software, the encryption key IDs are
instead numbered 1-4.
Key (0-3): Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission,
the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router.
