Upgrade Upgrade the firmware of the Wireless LAN Access Point.
Assign Access Point Name: You may assign any name to the Access Point.
Assigning the ESSID The ESSID is a unique ID given to the Wireless LAN Access Point. Assign an ESSID to your Access Point (Default value: My Network). The ESSID can be up to 32 characters.
Assigning the Channel From Configuration IEEE802.11, select a clear channel for your Wireless LAN Access Point. You may use the Site Survey tool came with the wireless PC Card utility to monitor each channel and choose a channel with good quality.
Assigning IP address (optional) Assign an IP address to your Access Point if you wish to configure the Wireless LAN Access Point via the Web Management or Telnet. Consult your network administrator to obtain an available IP address for your Access Point.
Using the WEP Encryption (optional) If data transmission with high security is required on your network, it is recommended 3 Jan./7th/2003 that the WEP encryption be used. To activate the WEP encryption, select Configuration, go to the WEP tab, and do the following:
Pull down the WEP Encryption menu and select WEP40 or WEP128.
From the 4 Key entry field, enter the corresponding key value for each encryption method. For WEP40 data encryption:
-- 5 alphanumeric characters in the range of a-z, A-Z and 0-9 (e.g. MyKey).
-- 10 digit hexadecimal values in the range of A-F , a-f and 0-9, preceded by the characters 0x values (e.g. 0x11AA22BB33). For WEP128 data encryption:
-- 13 alphanumeric characters in the range of a-z, A-Z and 0-9 (e.g. MyKey12345678).
-- 26 digit hexadecimal values in the range of A-F , a-f and 0-9, preceded by the characters 0x values (e.g. 0x00112233445566778899AABBCC).
Enter the 4 WEP keys in the Key 1, Key 2, Key 3 and Key 4 entry filed respectively. Select one WEP key as an active key and click Apply to make the setting take effect. NOTE: The WEP key must be set up exactly the same on the Access Point as they are on the wireless client stations. If you set MyKey for the Access Point, the same WEP Key MyKey must be assigned to other client stations. 4 Jan./7th/2003 Access Point Console The Wireless LAN Access Point can be configured via the command prompt console with Telnet (TCP/IP) connection.
Telnet (TCP/IP) Connection: Assign an IP address to your Wireless LAN Access Point through Access Point Utility and then telnet to the Access Point anywhere to get access to the Access Point console. Then, you will be able to make the configuration via the TCP/IP connection. NOTE: The default password to get access to the Access Point is default.
