Wireless Settings

Wireless settings allow you to set the wireless configuration items.

Network ID (SSID): Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN (WLAN). Client

stations can roam freely over this product and other Access Points that have the same Network

ID. (The factory setting is “default”)

Channel: The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the Regulatory

Domain.

The factory setting is as follow: channel 6 for North America; channel 7 for European (ETSI);

channel 7 for Japan.

WEP Security: Select the data privacy algorithm you want. Enabling the security can protect

your data while it is transferred from one station to another. The standardized IEEE 802.11 WEP

(128 or 64-bit) is used here.

WEP Key 1, 2, 3 & 4: When you enable the 128 or 64 bit WEP key security, please select one

WEP key to be used and input 26 or 10 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits.

Pass-phrase Generator: Since hexadecimal characters are not easily remembered, this device

offers a conversion utility to convert a simple word or phrase into hex.

802.1X

Check Box was used to switch the function of the 802.1X. When the 802.1X function is enabled,

the Wireless user must authenticate to this router first to use the Network service.
