Settings
For proper operation of the device server in a wireless environment, users must set the wireless parameters in
the device server’s
wireless
LAN according to the requirements of the designated wireless LAN network environ-
ment. To do this, users must check the following:
•
Type of Wireless LAN network (infrastructure/ad-hoc)
•
Wireless LAN SSID and channel
•
Whether a Wireless LAN WEP is used, and the WEP setting status (number of bits, key values, and
coding methods)
•
Whether Wireless LAN authentication protocols are used for the Wireless LAN connection
Some Wireless LAN networks require authentication protocols (like MD5).
Users can check the current Wireless LAN settings by using console commands:
> get wlan
SSID: Default
Type: Infrastructure
National Code: Korea
Encryption Type: 64bit
Key Input Method: Hexadecimal
WEP Key: 1234567890
>
Table 4
parameters are described in the following sections.
SSID
Factory default value of SSID is Default. User can change this value according to the SSID of his AP to be
used. If the value of SSID in device server is not changed from factory default value, Default, device server
scans APs in the neighborhood and selects the AP that has the strongest signal level automatically. This auto
scan and selection is continued until the valued of SSID is changed from Default at every reboot. But if there is
an AP with Default SSID, device server will connect to this AP first.
WEP1
If the WEP function is to be used, a WEP key value must be set. The WEP1 key field is used to select between
a 64-bit key or a 128-bit key. If WEP1 is set to 0, the WEP function will be disabled.
