Tap the
IP Config
tab to configure the following MK1250 profile network address parameters: IP address, subnet,

Mobile Companion - IP Config Tab (DHCP)
• Select
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
from the
IP Type
drop-down list to obtain a leased IP
address and network configuration information from a DHCP server. DHCP is the default setting for the
MK1250 profile. When DHCP is selected, the IP address fields are read-only.
Open System
(no encryption)
Select this option when no data packet encryption is needed over the network. This option
provides no security for data transmitted over the network. The window displays only the
OK
and Cancel buttons.
WEP Select this option to use WEP keys for encryption. The window displays several radio buttons
and edit buttons to configure the WEP keys.
Specify the keylength by selecting the 40-bit or the 128-bit radio button (128-bit is the default).
Enter WEP keys in the edit boxes. The number of edit boxes is determined by the selected key
length (10 Hex digit value for 40 bit keys, 26 Hex digit values for 128-bit keys).
Use the Key radio buttons to configure the four WEP keys. The adapter uses the selected key.
Select the ResetKeys button to set the encryption key to the default values.
The default Hex digit keys are visible any time they are used. As a security precaution the WEP
keys appear in asterisks ("*") within the Encryption key fields.
If the associated access point uses an optional Passkey, the "active" adapter WLAN profile
must use a Passkey as well. The Passkey is a plain text representation of the WEP keys
displayed in the Encryption property window. Use the Passkey to enter WEP key data without
having to remember the entire 40-bit (10 character) or 128-bit (26 character) Hex digit string.
Tap
Passkey . On the
Passkey
screen, enter an easy-to-remember character string in the range
4 to 32 to use as the WEP algorithm, then select OK . The access point transforms the Passkey
string into a set of four WEP keys using MD5 algorithms and displays them in the WEP fields.
The selected adapter profile uses these new WEP keys, and behaves as if the keys were
entered manually.
TKIP (WPA) Select this option for the client adapter to use Wireless Protected Access (WPA) through TKIP. Enter the
pre-shared keys in the edit boxes. Tap
ClearKey to clear all keys and enter new key values. Tap
Passkey to display the Passkey screen. Enter an easy-to-remember 8 to 63 character string.
