Regulatory
Domain
It is illegal to use this device in any location outside of the regu-
latory domain.
Station name
This is the same as the Device (Host) Name on the WAN
screen. On your PC, some Wireless status screens may display
this name as the Access Point in use.
Network Type
Select the correct value for your Wireless LAN.
•
Infrastructure mode is used when each Wireless station
connects to the Wireless Access point. This also provides
access to the wired LAN.
•
Ad-hoc mode is used when there is no Wireless Access
Point, and each Wireless station communicates directly with
other Wireless stations. This is the older standard.
SSID
(Service Set
Identifier)
To communicate, all Wireless stations MUST use the same
SSID/ESSID.
The default value of FPS-2PUW is null. The default value of
FPS-2PUWG is default.
Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
Channel No.
Select the value you wish to use on your Wireless LAN. If you
experience lost connections and/or slow data transfers you may
need to experiment with different channels to see which is the
best.

ton

WEP Data Privacy
WEP Encryp-
tion
If None (default), data is NOT encrypted before being transmit-
ted.
64 Bit Key
If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key, before being
transmitted.
The receiving station must be set to 64 Bit Encryption, and have
the same Key value in the same position in its key table. Other-
wise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.
Default Key
Select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted data is
ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; the other Keys are
for decryption only.
Key Table:
This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All sta-
tions, including this Access Point, always transmit data en-
crypted using their default key. The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is
also transmitted. The receiving station will use the key number
(1, 2, 3, 4) to determine which key value to use for decryption. If
the key value does not match the transmitting station, decryption
will fail.
The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to have
every Station, including the Access Point, use the same key ta-
ble (all entries identical). Then, it does not matter which key is
used as the default key.
