WEP Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the
wireless network.
Select
Disable
to allow all wireless computers to communicate with the access points
without any data encryption.
Select
64-bit WEP
or
128-bit WEP
to use data encryption.
Key 1 to Key 4
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the BIPAC-5100/5100W and the
wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose
64-bit WEP
, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose
128-bit WEP
, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one time.
The default key is key 1.
IP Address
Enter the IP address of your BIPAC-5100/5100W in dotted decimal notation, for
example, 192.168.1.254 (factory default).

Multicast
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish
membership in a multicast group. The BIPAC-5100/5100W supports both IGMP

) and
IGMP-v2
. Select

5.5 Configuring MAC Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the BIPAC-5100/5100W to give exclusive
access to up to 32 devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the
BIPAC-5100/5100W (Deny Association). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media
Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs
of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:AA:BB:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC
address of the devices to configure this screen.
To change your BIPAC-5100/5100W’s MAC filter settings, click Wireless LAN, MAC Filter to
open the MAC Filter screen. The screen appears as shown.
