UltraLine II (Model 800015)
Wireless Security Factory Default = Disable
Possible Responses:
Disabled: No security is used.
WEP: WEP encryption used to secure the data being sent to and from the Modem;
when WEP is enabled, the risk of someone nearby accessing the Modem is
minimized.
WPA-PSK: WPA encryption methods are used to encrypt and secure the
connection and the data being sent to and from the Modem.
This string (8 to 63 characters of 64 hex characters) is the key used for encrypting
packets being sent to and from the Modem. This key must be the same in both the
Modem and the station.
15.10.2.1 Enabling WEP Security
If you select WEP from the Wireless Security drop-down menu, the following screen will be displayed. Enter the
appropriate values, and then click Save to save the settings.
Wireless Security (WEP)
Wireless Security WEP has been selected as the wireless security method used.
Authentication Type Factory Default = Open System
Possible Responses:
Open System: Open System authentication allows any station to associate with the
wireless network but only stations with the valid WEP key can send or receive data
from the Modem. Open System authentication is considered to be more secure than
Shared Key authentication.
Shared Key: Shared Key authentication requires the station to authenticate with the
Modem using the WEP key before it can associate with the wireless network.
Key Select Factory Default = Key 1
Select Key 1 to Key 4 as the WEP key to be used. Note: The key position must be the
same in both the Modem and the wireless station.
Key n
(where n is 1 - 4 for WEP and is
blank for WPA-PSK)
The WEP key is treated as either text or hexadecimal (hex) characters. The number of
characters is based on the key size selected. The key size 64 bit is either 5 text or 10
hex characters, 128 bit is either 13 text or 26 hex characters, and 256 bit is either 29
text or 58 hex characters. Hexadecimal characters are 0-9 and A-F (or a-f). This key
must be the same in both the Modem and the station. Some station cards use a “Pass
Phrase.” This is not the same as “text” and should not be used.
15.10.2.2 Enabling WPA-PSK Security
If you select WPA-PSK from the Wireless Security drop-down menu, the following screen will be displayed. Enter
the appropriate values, and then click Save to save the settings.
