Key type
Indicate whether the new key is in hexadecimal or
passphrase format.
Enter key
Enter the new encryption key. The passphrase input is not
the same as ASCII input (as used on some products). ASCII
is translated directly into hexadecimal bytes according to the
ASCII table. The WiPort passphrase is hashed using the
Neesus Datacom algorithm (for WEP64) or MD5 (for
WEP128).
The passphrase input is safer because it is up to 63 chars
long. ASCII input is a maximum of 5 (WEP64) or 13
(WEP128) characters long and limits the number of key
combinations.
Please refer to the other equipment’s manual to determine
the passphrase input style recommended.
Note:
Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20
characters or more for maximum security.
TX Key index
Select the WEP key used for transmissions. Enter a value
from 1 to 4.
TX Data rate
Select the Data Transmit rate. The value are 1 MB, 2 MB,
5.5 MB, 11 MB, 18 MB, 24 MB, 36 MB, and 54 MB.
WPA
This firmware version allows only Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) for authentication.

Key type
Indicate whether the new key is in hexadecimal or passphrase
format.
Enter key
Enter the passphrase. The maximum length is 63 characters.
Note:
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 (WEP and TKIP).
