• Set Factory Defaults –When this option is implemented, system
parameters revert back to the original factory default settings. There are
two options:
• Full – All parameters revert to defaults except for the Hopping
Standard and Japan Call Sign (if applicable).
• Partial – All parameters revert except for the Hopping Standard and
Japan Call Sign (if applicable), IP Address, SubNet Mask, Default
Gateway, Hopping Sequence, Hopping Set, ESSID, Transmit
Antenna, Acknowledge Delay, Preferred AP, IP Filtering, Hopping
Standard, Power Level, Auto Calibration.
3.4.6. Security
Security options are not activated yet.
The security mechanism involves configuring four different modules:
• Authentication Algorithm – This module operates in two modes:
• Open System (Default). There is no privacy implemented by
authentication. After synchronization, a station will send a
request for authentication and immediately receive a
“successful authentication” message from the AP.(2 frames)
• Shared Key authentication (for users with access keys). This
option will activate the WEP cryptographic authentication.
After synchronization, a station will send a request for
authentication, the AP will answer with a “challenge text”
(ASCII characters), the station will encrypt this text using RC4
(not yet implemented) with the encryption key in use and send
this text back to the AP, the AP will decrypt the received
message and if it matches the original text it will send a
“successful authentication” message. (4 frames).
The association process will begin only after a successful
authentication (in either system).
• Default Key ID – In order to authenticate, the value of the key used
by the station and the AP must be identical. During the
authentication process a station must notify the AP which key it
used to encrypt the challenge text. The station will do this by
passing the number of the current default key it uses. The AP and
