What is the WEP encryption key? _________________________________________
The absence of a physical connection between nodes makes the wireless links
vulnerable to information theft. To provide a certain level of security from
eavesdroppers and hackers, you can enable WEP encryption. The following
information is needed to determine the WEP encryption level.
The default WEP encryption key number is 1, and the default key size is 64 bits.
Please refer to page 7 for more details.
Note: The key number as well as the key value used by both the HE102 Wireless
Access Point and wireless nodes must be the same.
How to find the name of your Access Point:
The access point name, such as “netgear1d4b5,” represents a unique identifier
for each HE102. It is used when you need to access and configure the access
point from the Web browser of a computer. To find the name of your access
point, refer to the label on the bottom of the access point device. For more
information, refer to Chapter 4—Access Point Configuration on page 18.
Wireless Access Point Installation
Please follow these steps to successfully install the HE102 Wireless Access
Point.
1. Position and mount the HE102 Wireless Access Point.
The best location is elevated, such as wall mounted or on the top of a
cubicle, and at the center of your wireless coverage area and must be within
line of sight of all the mobile devices.
