The “LINK” tab
12
The
“LINK”
tab is similar to the Ping Command used
in computers to verify Ethernet connection is
established. It allows you to monitor transmission
quality between two stations. Enter the IP address of
another station, set the timeout and packet size to see if
the communication was sent successfully.
The “WEP” tab
If an additional measure of security is desired on the
wireless network, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
encryption can be enabled. Please select
“Enable”
in
the above screen, if you wish to activate encryption.
To activate WEP encryption, you will also need to
select the
“Key Length.”
You may select either
“64
Bits”
or
“128 Bits.”
Please choose the “Key Length”
that is the same as your Access Point.
(Please refer
to the manual for your Access Point to find the
information).
Input 4 different
“Key Settings”
in the fields provided.
For
64 Bits
WEP encryption, you may enter
5
characters in the range of “a-z”, “A-Z”
and “0-9” (for example: MyKey); or a
10
digit hexadecimal value in the range “A-F”,
“a-f”, and “0-9.”(For example: 11AA22BB33). For
128 Bits
WEP encryption, you
will enter
13
characters in the range of “a-z”, “A-Z” and “0-9” (for example:
MyKey12345678); or
26 digit
hexadecimal number for 128-bit encryption. If the
number is entered incorrectly the function will not work.
Note: The Key Settings must match the Access Point for proper operation.
After entering the WEP keys, choose the WEP key you wish to use and click
“Apply”
for the configuration to take effect.
