Channel:
This is the channel that AeroPad Mini will operate on. The channel
selection can range from1 to 11 for North America (FCC) domain, 1 to 13 for
European (ETSI) domain and 1 to 14 for Japanese domain.
Wireless Mode:
The topology of your wireless network. If your wireless network
has an access point, then set the Wireless Mode to "Infrastructure". If you are
connecting computer-to-computer, without the existence of an access point, then
set the Wireless Mode to "Ad-Hoc". Default is "Infrastructure".
Authentication Type:
If your wireless network is protected with encryption, then
the authentication type must be selected here. There are three options for
authentication type: “Open System”, “Shared Key”, and “WPA-PKS”. Default is
"Open System".
Note: The AeroPad Mini must use the same authentication type and WEP Key as the
access point is configured for, otherwise the AeroPad Mini will fail to connect to the
wireless network.
For both the "Open System" and "Shared Key" authentication, a
WEP Key
is
required. The key can be 64 or 128-bits.
Using WEP encryption on a wireless network can protect your data while it is
transferred from AeroPad Mini to the access point. However, network
performance is lower because the access point must decode and encode each
piece of data moving from and to your AeroPad Mini.
Mode:
There are two types of methods for entering the WEP encryption key,
“HEX” and “ASCII”.
A Hexadecimal WEP key is comprised of any number 0 through 9 and/or letter A
through F. A 64-bit key requires 10 hex digits, or a 64-bit key requires a 26 hex
digit. Example of a 64-bit and 128-bit hex keys are "AB843E72DF" and
"ABCDEF12345678901234567890", respectively.
An ASCII WEP key is made up of any number 0 through 9 and/or letters A
through Z.
1, 2, 3 and 4
: WEP key is entered in either one of the four the key slots. The slot
number has to match the WEP key slot defined in the access point.
If
WPA-PSK
is enabled, user needs to set the key in the Passphrase field. The
key length should be 8 characters at least. Once WPA-PSK function enables, it
will take some time to make the setting active.
Apply
: Click the “Apply” button to save any of the changes that were done to the
AeroPad Mini. The changes have been saved and will be effective once the
AeroPad Mini is restarted.
Cancel
: Click the “Cancel” button to clear any changes.
5.3 IP Setting
This page configures the
IP Address
of the AeroPad Mini. This is also the IP
Address by which you use a web browser to access the web-config pages of the
AeroPad Mini. It is very important that you know the IP Address of the AeroPad
Mini, because otherwise, you won't be able to configure AeroPad Mini any more.
