Configuring the WiBox
This Application Note describes how to configure your WiBox to operate in an infrastructure network. It does
not cover configuring for an ad-hoc network.
Step 1: Gather information about your wireless network
Before you can configure the WiBox you will need to understand the wireless network that you will install the
WiBox onto. Work with your systems administrator to obtain this information, specifically:
1) The SSID of the network
2) Static IP Address range of the router
Note
− Most wireless networks are setup to automatically assign IP addresses to client computers and devices when
they initially connect, rather than requiring static IP addresses that must be set manually. This is called DHCP.
MultiLogger requires that the WiBox's have static IP addresses. You may need to work with your wireless network
administrator to assign a block of addresses in the router as static IP addresses. Assign each WiBox in your
configuration one of the static IP addresses in this range. If you have many WiBox's in your setup, it may be helpful to
map out these addresses prior to setting up the WiBox.
3) Security settings
a) Security Mode: There are four types of security mode, WEP, WPA, WPA2-Personal, WPA2-
Enterprise. The WiBox does not support WPA2-Enterprise.
b) Encryption setting for WEP Mode:
i)
Encryption Level (64-bit or 128-bit)
ii) WEP Key and Key Number (i.e. Key #1: 2627f68597)
c) Encryption for WPA and WPA2
i)
Encryption Type (AES or TKIP+AES)
Note
− The WiBox uses the term CCMP for AES. CCMP and AES are synonymous.
ii) Passphrase
