Channel
Channel
assigns the frequency band at which the Gateway communicates. In the
United States, use channels 1-11. (The factory default value is set to 1.)
Wireless Equivalent Privacy
Wireless Equivalent Privacy (
WEP
) is an encryption method used with the 802.11b
standard to provide limited data security over wireless networks. The Gateway
offers three levels of
WEP
: Off, 64-bit, and 128-bit. Qwest recommends setting up
WEP to offer some security to your wireless connection.
Off
Selecting
Off
disables encryption. Selecting this option offers minimal protec-
tion and allows any computer with wireless capability and the correct ESSID
value to join the wireless network.
64-bit WEP
64-bit
WEP
requires four separate keys. Each key comprises five hexadecimal
digit pairs. A hexadecimal digit consists of an alphanumeric character ranging
from 0-9 or A-F. An example of a 64-bit
WEP
key is: 4E-A3-3D-68-72. To create
a set of 64-bit
WEP
keys, enter five hexadecimal digit pairs in each
Key
text box
(
Key 1-
,
Key 2-
,
Key 3-
,
Key 4-
). After activating 64-bit
WEP
on the Gateway, a
computer with wireless capability can join the network only if these same keys
are entered in the computer’s wireless encryption scheme. 64-bit WEP offers
more security than
Off
under most circumstances
