Channel No
The effect of this setting depends on the Network Type setting:
• In Infrastructure mode, this setting has no effect. The Channel is
selected automatically, to match the Channel used by the Access
Point.
• In Ad-hoc mode, all Wireless stations must use the same Channel
number, although some Wireless stations will scan all Channels
looking for an Ad-hoc group they can join.
If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow
data transfers) you may need to experiment with different channels.
Network Type
Select the correct value for your Wireless LAN.
• Ad-hoc mode is used when there is no Wireless Access Point, and
each Wireless station communicates directly with other Wireless
stations.
• Infrastructure mode is used when each Wireless station connects
to the Wireless Access point. This also provides access to the
wired LAN.
Security Mode
• Disabled - no data encryption is used.
• WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
• WPA - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a
later standard than WEP, and provides much better security than
WEP.
Note: WPA-PSK in not available in Ah-Hoc mode.
WEP Disable/
Enable
If Disabled (default), data is NOT encrypted before being transmitted.
If Enabled, you must provide either the 64 Bit key table or the 128 Bit
keys. The key is used to encrypt the data before transmission.
WEP
Authentication
Options are "Open System" or "Shared Key".
Select the method (Open System or Shared Key) used by other
Wireless Stations.
Shared Key is more secure than Open System.
WEP Keys 64 Bits/128Bits
Select "64Bits" or "128Bits" as required to match other Wireless
stations on your WLAN. Stations which do not have matching settings
will be unable to communicate.
128 bit Keys are more secure than 64 bit Keys.
Default Key
Select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted data is
ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; the other Keys are for
decryption only.
Key Table (Key 1~4)
Enter the key values to match other Wireless stations on your WLAN.
Note that keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the digits 0
to 9, and the letters A to F.
