6. Click the Wireless tab to configure the 802.11
wireless settings (for wireless models only;
skip to the next section if you have a wired
model). To operate on an 802.11 network,
the Serial Device Server configuration must
be configured with the wireless configuration
and security parameters necessary for the
Serial Device Server to communicate over
your wireless network (check with your
network administrator if you do not know
these parameters).
 Select either Infrastructure (if you
are using an access point) or Ad
Hoc (point-to-point) as the
wireless mode
 Enter the SSID for your network
 If you are using Ad Hoc, select
the RF channel (not required for
infrastructure)
The other parameters on this tab do not
normally need to be changed (refer to Chapter
5 for information on advanced configuration).
Now click the Configure Wireless Security
button to configure the wireless security
parameters.
7. If you are using WPA2-PSK, select WPA2 as
the Encryption Mode and select PSK as the
Authentication Type. If you are using WPA-
PSK, select WPA as the encryption mode and
select PSK as the Authentication Type. For
both WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK you must
enter the Pre-Shared Key for your network
and select whether you want a Group Key.
Note that it is not necessary to enter a User ID
or password.
If you are using WEP, select 128-bit or 64-bit
as the Encryption Mode and Open Systems or
Shared Key as the Authentication Type. Enter
the WEP keys in hexadecimal format, and
select the transmit key (Key Selection).
ExtendView does not fully support
configuration of the 802.1X EAP types, so
Silex recommends using the internal web
pages or internal command console for
802.1X configuration as described later in this
chapter.
Click OK to return to the Server Configuration
window, and then click the I/O port tab to
configure the serial port.
