User Guide
Wireless Card Information
Wireless Operation
Factory Default = Enabled.
When disabled, no stations will be able to connect to the Media Gateway.
Network Name (SSID)
This string, (32 characters or less) is the name associated with the AP. To connect
to the AP, the SSID on a Station card must match the SSID on the AP card or be
set to “ANY.”
Channel
The AP transmits and receives data on this channel. The number of channels to
choose from is pre-programmed into the AP card. Station cards do not have to be
set to the same channel as the AP; the Stations scan all channels, and look for an
AP to connect to.
Mode
This setting allows station to communicate with the Media Gateway.
Possible Responses:
Mixed: Station using any of the 802.11b, 802.11b+, and 802.11g rates can
communicate with the Media Gateway.
11b only: Communication with Media Gateway is limited to 802.11b
11b+:
Stations using any of the 802.11b and 802.11b+ rates can communicate
with the Media Gateway
11g only: Communication with Media Gateway is limited to 802.11g

Privacy Settings
Authentication Type
Factory Default = Open System
Possible Response:
Open System: Open System authentication is the default selection.
Shared Key: To use Shared Key authentication, WEP must be enabled, and a valid
WEP key must be present. Enabling WEP does not force the use of Shared Key
authentication. It is permissible to have WEP enabled and still use Open System
authentication.
WEP Security WEP Security
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
Factory Default=DISABLED
The AP card supports 64-bit, 128-bit, or 256-bit WEP encryption. If WEP is
disabled, any station can connect to the AP (as long as its SSID matches the AP
SSID).
IF WEP is enabled, the risk of someone nearby accessing the AP is minimized.
Key Select
If selected, the WEP Key is treated as a string of text characters, and the number
of characters must be either 5 (for 64-bit encryption) or 13 (for 128-bit encryption)
or 29 (for 256-bit encryption). If not selected, the WEP key is treated as a string of
hexadecimal characters, and the number of characters must be either 10 (for 64-bit
encryption), 26 (for 128-bit encryption), or 58 (for 256-bit encryption). The only
allowable hexadecimal characters are 0-9 and A-F.
NOTE: The WEP key must be the same value and type for both Media Gateway
and the wireless network adapter. “Pass Phrase” is not the same as “text” and
should not be used.
Key Mapping Table button
Selecting this button will allows access to the Wireless Key Mappings settings.
