Enable Data Encryption

This optional feature allows you to encrypt wireless data transmissions on top of the 
encryption provided by the radio. It provides 56-bit DES encryption. It is not shipped 
standard as part of the brouter. If you did not purchase it when you originally bought the 
brouter, it can be purchased later as a software upgrade. Data encryption is disabled by 
default. Select the box labeled 

Enable Encryption

 to enable the encryption features. You 

will still need to define at least one encryption key before your wireless traffic will be 
transmitted using wireless data encryption. To do this, return to the drop-down menu 
presented when you click on 

Setup

. Now you will see a Data Encryption Setup item added 

to the menu list. Select 

Data Encryption Setup

. Click the 

DES Encryption 

button and 

enter an 8 digit alhpanumeric string in the range of "a-z", "A-Z", and "0-9". 
Examples: 
Alphanumeric: a5F2z4wK 

Warning: 

This setting must be set to the same value for the brouters that will be communicating 
together. Failure to set them to the same value will prevent any communications from 
taking place. For example, in order to use a multipoint link, you must use the same 
Encryption setting on the base station and on the CPE brouter.   

•

Enable Remote Bridging using IP Tunnels

SPEEDLAN brouters support a special feature which will enable Ethernet packets of any 
protocol type to be encapsulated in IP packets and sent to other brouters (purchased from 
Wave Wireless) for de-encapsulation. This method can be used to setup virtual Ethernet 
LANs between several points using an IP network as the transport layer.

Enable Advanced Network Monitoring Support

This option is not available at this time. 

•

Enable IP Security Counter Measures

This option is not available at this time.

Enable Access Control

This option is not available at this time. 

•

Enable Digital Alarm Monitoring and Reporting

This option is not available at this time.     

•

*Enable Outgoing Network Address Translation

This option enables a company to map the private network’s IP address into one or more 
global network IP addresses. This means outsiders will only view the single (or more if desig-
nated) IP network address assigned for global viewing on the Internet. For more informa-
tion, see
