Nexland Pro: Wireless Usage
WaveBase & Wireless Usage Notes
Wireless Network Security – WEP Setup
It is strongly recommended that you turn on WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol).
This will insure that only authorized users will be able to wirelessly connect to your
network and that wireless transmissions will be encrypted. The WaveBase supports
Enhanced WEP
(otherwise known as WEP
plus
) to provide additional security over
Standard WEP by defeating known vulnerabilities.
To activate WEP, go the
Advanced Wireless
screen. The WaveBase supports 40-bit
(sometimes referred to as 64-bit) & 128-bit encryption and both Standard and
Enhanced WEP. Enhanced WEP is used automatically if supported by the Wireless
Client. You must have a compatible wireless client to use 128-bit encryption, almost
all clients support 40-bit (64-bit). Use the strongest setting your client supports.
1.
You must create four unique keys for your
WEP encryption algorithm.
Use the table
Depending on your wireless
below to determine the length of the key. If you
client, it may use either
enter the incorrect length, the Pro will give you
HEX or ASCII WEP keys;
an error when you try to
Save
.
the WaveBase accepts both
to eliminate converting
keys. Precede a HEX value
with 0x (for example:
0xA49F033CD1). ASCII
keys can be entered as is.
