Setup Mode: Channel Configuration
WiBox2100E User Guide 64
Topology 0=Infrastructure, 1=Adhoc (0) ? _
Network Name (SSID)
Enter the name of the network to which the WiBox will connect.
Network name (LTRX_IBSS) ? _
Adhoc Network Channel
When Adhoc is selected in the Topology parameter and the WiBox cannot find the
specified network, it creates one with that name by transmitting a beacon on the
selected channel.
Channel (11) ? _
Only channels allowed in the country for which the WiBox is designated can be
selected. The country displays in the Setup Mode settings overview.
Security
The WiBox features WEP and WPA to secure all wireless communication. WPA is
not available when Adhoc is selected as the topology.
Security 0=none, 1=WEP, 2=WPA (0) ? _
WEP
Authentication 0=open/none, 1=shared (0) ? _
Encryption 0=WEP64, 1=WPE128 (0) ?
Display current key (N) ?
Change key (N) ?
Key type 0=hex, 1=passphrase (0) ?
Enter key:
Authentication selects whether the encryption keys are matched (1 = shared) with
those of the communication partner before passing through messages or not (2 =
open/none).
The Encryption prompt requests the length of the encryption key and the security
strength. WEP64 uses a 40 bits/5 bytes key (option 0). WPE128 uses a 104 bits/13
bytes key (option 1).
Select Y (Yes) at the Display current key prompt to show the currently configured
key/passphrase
Select Y (Yes) at the Change key prompt to be able to modify the currently
configured key by selecting Y (Yes).
The Key type indicates whether the new key is in hexadecimal or passphrase format.
Enter key prompts for the new encryption key. The passphrase input is not the same
as ASCII input (as used on some products). ASCII is translated directly into
hexadecimal bytes according to the ASCII table. The WiBox passphrase is hashed
using the Neesus Datacom algorithm (for WEP64) or MD5 (for WEP128).
The passphrase input is safer because it is up to 63 chars long. ASCII input is a
maximum of 5 (WEP64) or 13 (WEP128) characters long and limits the number of
key combinations.
Please refer to the other equipment’s manual to determine the passphrase input style
recommended.
