Unicast communication occurs between the access point and a single wireless
device. It uses the pairwise encryption method. Multicast communication occurs
between the access point and multiple wireless devices. It uses the group encryption
method. The group encryption for all wireless devices communicating with the same
access point must be equal to receive broadcast and multicast messages. If any
device is WEP-only (no support for WPA), set the encryption to TKIP+WEP. To use
higher security with the MatchPort than other devices connecting to the same access
point, use a group encryption lower than the pairwise encryption.

Note:

Due to regulations, the country-specific setting has been removed from

the setup menu and Web-Manager. However, we provide a separate utility
for changing the Country/Zone setting. The utility is called SetZone and is
included in the MatchPort package. It is also available for download from the
Lantronix web site.

The syntax is SetZone <IP address> [<zone abbreviation>]

Leaving the zone blank causes the utility to report the current setting only.
Following are valid zone abbreviations. These settings are consistent with
IEEE802.11b/g zones:

US=United States
CA=Canada
FR=France
SP=Spain

JP=Japan
OT=Others, such as Europe
(excluding France), Asia,
Africa, and Australia

To modify WLAN settings, select 4 WLAN from the Change Setup menu.

Topology

Select Infrastructure (ESS) mode or Adhoc (IBSS) mode. Infrastructure mode
communicates with Access Points. Adhoc mode communicates only with other
clients.

Topology 0=Infrastructure, 1=Adhoc (0) ? _

Network Name (SSID)

Enter the name of the network to which the MatchPort will connect.

Network name (LTRX_IBSS) ? _

Adhoc Network Channel

When Adhoc is selected in the Topology parameter, and the MatchPort cannot find
the specified network, it creates one with that name by transmitting a beacon on the
selected channel.

Channel (11) ? _

You can only select channels allowed in the country for which the MatchPort is
designated. The country displays in the settings overview.

Security Suite

The MatchPort features WEP, WPA, and 802.11i/WPA2-Personal to secure all
wireless communication. WPA and 802.11i/WPA2-Personal are not available when
Adhoc is selected as the topology.
