ECURITY AB
The Security tab of the Wireless LAN Configuration utility allows you to set the
security parameters of the station.
The station in which the PCMCIA Adapter is installed can use one of the following
authentication algorithms (as defined in the 802.11 standard):
• Open System — Any station in the WLAN can associate with an Access Point
and receive and transmit data (null authentication).
• Shared Key — Only stations using a shared key encryption identified by the
Access Point are allowed to associate with it. You can only select this option if
the card was ordered with the Privacy option or if you enabled the WEP
feature during the upgrade procedure. The option which was ordered is
displayed in a read-only field at the top of the dialog box. To see whether the
WEP option was enabled during installation, select the Station Status tab
described in Section 4.5.1.
Values:

Not Implemented
If you selected the Shared Key algorithm, proceed to set the following parameters:
• Default Key ID — Sets the default key for encryption in the Authentication
process. This is the encryption key that will be used for transmissions between
the station and the Access Point.
• WEP Key — Define the encryption keys used for transmissions between the
station and the Access Point. Specify each key by clicking the appropriate WEP
Key row (First, Second, Third, or Fourth) and entering 10 Hex digits (5 pairs
of characters) for each of the four keys.
To configure security parameters in ODI/DOS environment, use the brzsetup
application.
