h. Select an Encryption standard from the drop-down list. The option you select here affects the
options available in the remainder of the screen. The available options are:
None. No security settings are applied.
•
•
WPA-TKIP. Wi-Fi Protected Access, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol.
WPA2-AES. Wi-Fi Protected Access 2, Advanced Encryption Standard. WPA2 is a more
•
robust encryption mechanism than WPA, and is required for some corporate and
government use.
•
WEP40. Wired Equivalent Privacy 40 bit key.
WEP104. Wired Equivalent Privacy 104 bit key.
•
WPA offers a higher level of security than WEP, by providing longer keys that change
dynamically over time.
i.
Select an encryption type at the Enter WEP key in: prompt. This can be one of the following:
Hex keys use hexadecimal numbers (0-9, A-F) to encrypt and decrypt data, and are the
•
most widely supported format.
ASCII (plain text) keys are supported on some operating systems (check that your operating
•
system supports ASCII before you select this option).
j.
Enter up to four WEP key options, depending on the selections you made in step 8 and step 9.
The format depends on whether you selected Hex or ASCII.
Hex. Enter a two digit hexadecimal number (0-9, A-F) in each box on the WEP Key row.
•
•
ASCII. Enter a string of 5 characters for 64 bit encryption (WEP40), or 13 characters for 128
bit encryption (WEP104).
Check that each key you set up is exactly the same as the key on your Access Point.
k. Click on OK to save the changes, click on Cancel to exit without saving, or click on Apply to
apply the settings for this WLAN session only.
Any computer with WLAN capability and in range of the terminal can detect the terminal's WLAN
SSID and connect to it automatically using BGAN LaunchPad.
To connect to the WLAN interface, after registering the terminal with the network:
a. Power up your computer and place it within wireless range of the EXPLORER 700.
b. Select the EXPLORER 700 access point on your computer. The default name is EXPLORER
700.
c. Check your connection by browsing to the Internet.
If you want to control access to the terminal's WLAN SSID, use the Whitelist described below.
Setting up the Whitelist
If you want to control access to the terminal's SSID, you can enable the terminal's Whitelist feature,
and select which computers can access the terminal's WLAN interface. You must know the MAC
address of the terminal(s) you want to add to the Whitelist.
