WLAN Settings
To modify WLAN settings, select
4 WLAN
from the Change Setup menu and edit the
following fields.
Topology:
Select
Infrastructure
(ESS) mode or
AdHoc
(IBSS). Infrastructure mode
communicates with Access Points. Ad Hoc mode communicates only with other clients.
Topology 0=Infrastructure, 1=AdHoc (1) ?
Network Name (SSID):
Enter the name of the network to which the WiSpan will connect.
Network name (SSID) (LTRX_IBSS) ? _
Ad Hoc Network Creation Channel:
When Ad Hoc mode is selected, and the WiSpan
cannot find the specified network, it creates one with that network name by transmitting a
beacon on the selected channel.
Channel (11) ?
You can only select channels allowed in the country for which the WiSpan is designated.
The country displays in the list of current settings when you first access Setup Mode.
Security Suite:
The WiSpan features WEP, WPA, and 802.11i-PSK/WPA2-Personal to
secure all wireless communication. WPA and 802.11i-PSK/WPA2-Personal are not
available when the topography is
Adhoc
. The 802.11i-PSK/WPA2-Personal mode is
compliant with the Robust Secure Network specified by the IEEE standard 802.11i. It
enables the AES-based strong CCMP encryption.
WEP: Authentication 0=open/none, 1=shared (0) ? _
Encryption 0=WEP64, 1=WPE128 (1) ?
Display current key (N) ?
Change key (N) ? Y
Key type 0=hex, 1=passphrase (0) ?
Enter key: **-**-**-**-**
TX Key index (1) ?
Authentication
Select whether the encryption keys must match
those of the communication partner before passing through
messages (1 = shared; 2 = open/none).
Encryption
Select the length of the encryption key and the security
strength. WEP64 uses a 40 bits/5 bytes key (option 1).
WEP128 uses a 104 bits/13 bytes key (option 2).
Display Current
Key
Select
Y
(Yes) to show the currently configured
key/passphrase
Change key
Select
Y
(Yes) to modify the currently configured key.
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 WiSpan passphrase is hashed using the
Neesus Datacom algorithm (for WEP64) or MD5 (for
WEP128).
