Change key
Select
Y
(Yes) to modify the currently configured key.
Display key
Select
Y
(Yes) to show the currently configured
key/passphrase.
Key type
Indicate whether the new key is in hexadecimal or
passphrase format.
Enter key
Enter the passphrase. The maximum length is 63 characters.
Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters
or more for maximum security.
Encryption
Set the type to the minimum required security level. The “+”
sign indicates that the group (broadcast) encryption method
is different from the pairwise (unicast) encryption. For
example, for CCMP+TKIP, CCMP is the pairwise encryption
and TKIP is the group encryption. CCMP is the default for
WPA2.
Fixed or Automatic Data Rate
WiPort permits the control of the transmission rate. Select
0
to set a fixed data rate or
select
1
to set an automatic data rate. The default is 1 (auto).
TX Data rate 0=fixed, 1=auto (1) ? _
Transmission Data Rate
If the above
TX Data rate
is set to
fixed
, the selected data rate is the WiPort’s fixed
transmission rate. If the above
TX Data rate
is set to
auto
, the selected data rate is
the WiPort’s maximum data rate. Lower data rates allow for larger distances. It may
also be required when communicating with older devices. The default is
54 Mbps
.
TX Data rate 0=1, 1=2, 2=5.5, 3=11 Mbps (0) ? _
WiPort version WP2001000G-02 offers additional transmission rate options:
TX Data rate 0=1, 1=2, 2=5.5, 3=11
4=18, 5=24, 6=36, 7=54 Mbps (0) ? _
Minimum TX Data Rate
Selects the minimum data rate the device will use when auto-fallback is enabled. The
default is
1 Mbps
.
MinTX Data Rate 0=1, 1=2, 2=5.5, 3=11, 4=18, 5=24, 6=36, 7=54
Mbps <0> ? _
Note:
If Auto Rate Fallback is enabled and a minimum TX data rate other than
1Mbps is configured, the radio will operate in Single Rate Drop mode. This means
that if a rate drop becomes necessary, the radio will drop from the maximum rate to
the lowest rate, ignoring all rates in between. This reduces the potential number of
packet retransmission attempts, because the radio attempts to transmit a packet
three times before transitioning to the next lowest TX rate.
Note:
If the Minimum TX Data Rate is set for 54 Mbps for the minimum and
maximum, the auto fallback capability is eliminated.
