SSID: The SSID is the name shared among all points in the wireless network system, must be
identical for all points.
Region: Select the correct domain for your country.
Channel: The value of channel can be selected from channel 1 to 11 for FCC domain,
channels 1 to 13 for ETSI domain and 1 to 14 for Japan domain.
WEP settings:
•
Authentication: Select Open or Shared Key System Authentication, depending on the
method used by your access point. Not all access points have this option, in which case
they probably use Open System, which is sometimes known as SSID Authentication.
•
Key length: This sets the length of the key used for the wireless encryption, 64 or 128
bit.
•
Key type: The key types available depend on the access point being used. The following
options are available:
‧
ASCII - In this method the string must be exactly 5 characters for 64-bit WEP and
13 characters for 128-bit WEP.
‧
HEX - In this method the string must be exactly 10 hexadecimal (0-9, A-F)
characters for 64-bit WEP and 26 hexadecimal characters for 128-bit WEP.
•
Key: Key value of WEP.
WPA settings:
•
Key type: The device uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for key management. The
pre-shared key can be entered either as Manual hex, as 64 hexadecimal characters, or
as a Passphrase, using 8 to 63 ASCII characters.
•
Key: Key value of WEP.
DHCP (Obtain an IP address automatically): DHCP: Stands for Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol. Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the network to issue IP
address assignment. With this setting, the IP address is assigned automatically. If this device
cannot get an IP address within limited tries, the device will assign a default IP address,
192.168.0.20, by itself as the default IP address.
IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway, 1st DNS, 2nd DNS server: If you do not select Obtain
an IP address automatically, then you need to enter these network parameters by yourself.
IP Address: This address is a unique numbers that identifies a computer or device on the
WAN or LAN. These numbers are usually shown in groups separated by periods, for example:
192.168.0.200
Subnet Mask: Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be separated based on the
network's configuration. In IP networking, traffic takes the form of packets. IP subnets advance
network security and performance to some level by organizing hosts into logical groups.
Subnet masks contain four bytes and usually appear in the same "dotted decimal" data. For
example, a very common subnet mask in its binary demonstration 11111111 11111111 11111111
00000000 will usually be shown in the corresponding, more readable form as 255.255.255.0.
Gateway: A gateway is a piece of software or hardware that passes information between
networks. You'll see this term most often when you either log in to an Internet site or when
you're transient email between different servers.
