WEP Data Encryption
-
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from listening
to data transmitted over the wireless medium, the AI108 offers Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption. Up to four WEP keys with 64, 128,
or 152 bit key length can be registered. 64 bit keys need to be entered as 10
hexadecimal digits in the range of 0-9, A-F, or a-f. If 128 bit is chosen, enter 26
hexadecimal digits. If 152 bit is chosen, enter 32 digits. When using this option,
the AI108 will communicate with another device only if it is using a matching
active encryption key.
Note:
Remember to save your new configuration settings before selecting another tab
by pressing the
Submit
button. If you are finished making changes to the local bridge
configuration, press the
Restart
button to save the new configuration settings and
reboot the local bridge, activating all new settings. You can also use the
Start Bridge
button to activate the new settings and immediately put the unit in bridging mode,
without re-entering the configuration utility.
Note:
If settings are modified inadvertently, the
Restore System Defaults
button can
be used to return to the factory default settings of all networking, radio, and security
parameters. All modified data will be lost.
