11 Mb RF Security Setup
– These settings are used to encrypt data that will be transmitted by the 11 Mb RF
port and also to decrypt data that is received by 11 Mb RF port. You may define up to 4 encryption keys to be
used for decrypting incoming data and one key for encrypting outgoing data.
Check the box labeled “Enable Encryption” to enable the encryption features. You will still need to define at
least one encryption key before your wireless traffic will be transmitted using wireless data encryption.
The
Encryption Key
can be defined using either:
•
5 alphanumeric characters in the range of “a-z”, “A-Z”,
and “0-9”
•
A 10 digit hexadecimal value using the range “A-F” and
“0-9”. If you choose to use the hexadecimal method, use
the prefix “0x” (zero, x) in defining the key
Examples:
•
Alphanumeric:
a5F2z
•
Hexadecimal:
0xA95F2BR39K
Write down the values you enter as Encryption Keys and store
them in a secure place. The values you enter will only be visible
when they are entered for the first time. Each time this option is
displayed after the initial setup, the values will appear only as
“
xxxxxxxxxx
”
Warning: This setting must be set to the same value on all
XE units you wish to have communicate together. Failure
to set them to the same value will prevent any communications from taking place. (e.g. for multipoint
to work properly, the base station AND all of the satellite units must use the same Encryption Key
setting.
There is also an option to
Deny non encrypted Data
. This feature is disabled by default and is designed
primarily for multipoint SPEEDLAN installations where it may not be necessary to run using data encryption at
all locations. If you enable this option, any data received by this SPEEDLAN TM unit will not be passed to the
wired network interface.
Standard
– This setting limits the card to providing 2 Mbps of bandwidth. The receiver sensitivity of the radio
with this setting is –89 dBm. You must use this setting if you want your XE unit to communicate with an older
SPEEDLAN unit that uses a 2 Mbps radio.
Low
- This setting limits the card to providing 1 Mbps of bandwidth. The receiver sensitivity of the radio with
this setting is –92 dBm.
Warning: This setting must be set to the same value on all XE units you wish to have communicate
together. Failure to set them to the same value will prevent any communications from taking place.
