Select the Basic Setting tab (figure 3). This is where you can assign the access point a unique name, SSID

(Service Set Identifier) identifier label, channel, and WEP (Wired Equivalency Privacy) encryption. We are

currently defining the WAP’s AP Name and SSID as

coaXmediaWAP

. The access point factory defaults are

TEW310APB

for the AP Name and

default

for the SSID field. The default Channel is

. Channel 1 through

13 can be selected on the WAP and is dependant upon which channel is subjected to the least interference

from other devices operating in the 2.4GHz range (portable phones, adjacent access points, etc.). The

default for WEP Key encryption is

disable

. Encryption Mode default is

HEX

but can be selected for

ASCII

If WEP Key encryption is enabled, 64-bit encryption requires 10 HEX values (or 5 ASCII characters), 128-bit

encryption requires 26 HEX values (or 10 ASCII characters), and 256-bit encryption requires 58 HEX values

(or 29 ASCII characters). Hex values are the numbers 0 through 9 and the letters A through F, ASCII

charters are any of the alphanumeric keys on the keyboard. There are 4 encryption keys that can be set,

they must all be the same type (ie 124bit and ASCII or 64bit and HEX). If key 1 is set for the default key,

then key 1 on the client computer must match these settings. Please make a note of the SSID identifier and

encryption WEP Key(s), Mode, and values for future reference. (Note: Confirm that the wireless card on the

client computer being used to set up the WAP is compatible with the encryption modes selected on the WAP

as it will be necessary to apply the matching WEP encryption settings to the client computer to continue

setup of the access point.) Select the

Apply

key for the changes to take effect. The access point will re-

start. Make the appropriate changes to the client computer WEP values to proceed with the WAP setup.
