Chapter 5 - RouteFinder Manager

Wireless Settings

Click Wireless Settings in the RouteFinder Manager menu to open the Wireless Settings dialog
box. You can enter the ESSID and Channel number for your wireless router. All wireless
workstations must use the same ESSID. You may need to try different channels to avoid
interference.

Encryption (WEP)

The WEP is a data security measure. The RC4 algorithm encrypts the wireless portion of data
transmissions. Select an encryption option from the list: Disabled (default), 40 bits (Must use
shared with WEP)
, or 40 bits (WECA Compliant). When selecting either of the 40 bits options,
you can select the Create with Passphrase option, enter the words in the Passphrase box, then
click Generate Key. Select a key from the Default Tx Key list. You can also select the Manual
Entry
option to enter the encryption keys manually.
