Channel (Port) Password
This parameter displays only if the channel (port) password option is enabled in
Disconnect Mode. With this option enabled, you can set a password on the serial
port. Blank by default.
WLAN Settings
Without adequate protection, a wireless LAN is susceptible to access by
unauthorized users. As such, WiBox features the WPA security standard, based on
IEEE802.11i and IEEE802.1X. WEP is provided for backwards compatibility and
interaction with older devices.
To modify WLAN settings, select
4 WLAN
from the Change Setup menu.
Topology
Select
Infrastructure
(ESS) mode or
Adhoc
(IBSS) mode. Infrastructure mode
communicates with Access Points. Ad Hoc mode communicates only with other
clients.
Topology 0=Infrastructure, 1=Adhoc (0) ? _
Network Name (SSID)
Enter the name of the network to which the WiBox will connect.
Network name (LTRX_IBSS) ? _
Adhoc Network Channel
When
Adhoc
is selected in the
Topology
parameter and the WiBox cannot find the
specified network, it creates one with that name by transmitting a beacon on the
selected channel.
Channel (11) ? _
Only channels allowed in the country for which the WiBox is designated can be
selected. The country displays in the Setup Mode settings overview.
Security Suite
The WiBox features WEP, WPA, and 802.11i/WPA2-Personal to secure all wireless
communication. WPA and 802.11i/WPA2-Personal are not available when
Adhoc
is
selected as the topology.
The 802.11i/WPA2-Personal mode is compliant with the Robust Secure Network that
is specified in the IEEE standard 802.11i. It enables the AES-based strong CCMP
encryption.
