Channel No

To communicate in "802.11 Ad-hoc" or "Ad hoc" mode, all Wireless stations MUST

use the

same Channel number.

If using "802.11 Ad-hoc" or "Ad-hoc" mode, select the value you wish to use on your Wireless

LAN.

If using "Infrastructure" mode, the Channel is selected automatically, to match the Channel

used by the Access Point.

If you experience interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow data transfers) you may

need to experiment with different channels to see which is the best.

Network Type Select the correct value for your Wireless LAN.

802.11 Ad-hoc mode is used when there is no Wireless Access Point, and each Wireless

station communicates directly with other Wireless stations. This is the current standard.

Ad-hoc mode is used when there is no Wireless Access Point, and each Wireless station

communicates directly with other Wireless stations. This is the older standard.

Infrastructure mode is used when each Wireless station connects to the Wireless Access

point. This also provides access to the wired LAN.

Link Info Button This will display information about the current wireless connection. See below for details.

WEP Disabled/

Enabled

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, as described

below. The key is used to encrypt the data before transmission.

64 Bit

If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key, before being transmitted. The receiving

station must be set to 64 Bit Encryption, and have the same Key value in the same position

in its key table. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.

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:

This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All stations, including this Access

Point, always transmit data encrypted using their default key. The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is

also transmitted. The receiving station will use the key number (1, 2, 3, 4) to determine which

key value to use for decryption. If the key value does not match the transmitting station,

decryption will fail.

The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to have every Station, including the

Access Point, use the same key table (all entries identical). Then, it does not matter which key

is used as the default key.

128 Bit If selected, data is encrypted using the key before being transmitted. The receiving station

must be set to use 128 Bit Encryption, and have the same Key value. Otherwise, it will not be

able to decrypt the data.
