4.2.5 Wireless Security Setup Its very important to set wireless security settings properly! Hackers and malicious users might reach or attack your network and valuable data without your permission.

a. Encryption -- WEP

Item Description

Key Length There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Using 128-bit is more safety than 64-bit, but data transfer performance is more lower than 64-bit.

Key Format

There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex. When you select a key format, the number of characters of key will be displayed. For example, if you select 64-bit as key length, and Hex as key format, youll see the message at the right of Key Format is Hex (10 characters), which means the length of WEP key is 10 characters.

b. Encryption WPA (WPA, WPA2, WPA2 Mixed)

42

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a security system to protect wireless network security. To prevent hackers, WPA uses TKIP or AES to change key frequently.

Item Description

Pre-Shared Key Format Passphrase: The Pre-Shared Key format is ASCII Code, and the

Item Description

Fragment Threshold To identify the maxima length of packet, the over length packet will be fragmentized. The allowed range is 256-2346, and default length is 2346

RTS Threshold

This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The range is 0~2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the present RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. Fill the range from 0 to 2347 into this blank.

Beacon Interval

Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a beacon interval value. The allowed setting range is 20-1024 ms.

5.2.6 WPS

This page allows user to change the setting for WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). Using this feature could let your wireless client automically syncronize its setting and connect to the Access Point in a minute without any hassle. CWR-854 could support both Self-PIN or PBC modes, or use the WPS button (at real panel) to easy enable the WPS function.

PIN model, in which a PIN has to be taken either from a sticker label or from the web interface of the WPS device. This PIN will then be entered in the AP or client WPS device to connect.

PBC model, in which the user simply has to push a button, either an actual or a virtual one, on both WPS devices to connect.

Please find the WPS button from the following illustrate

97

When users select a specific model on wireless base station, the clients can connect to the base by selecting the same model.

The connection procedures of PIN and PBC are almost the same. The small difference between those two is:

Users input the PIN of wireless card in the base station first; it will limit the range of the clients. It is faster to establish a connection on PIN model.

On PBC model, users push the WPS button to activate the function, and then the wireless client must push the WPS button in 2 mins to enter the network. The client will search to see if there is any wireless base station which supports WPS is activating. If the client finds a matching base, the connection will be established. The speed of establishing a connection is slower than the PIN model because of this extra step.

On the other hand, users need to input the information of the wireless card into the register interface. It might lead to the failure of connection, if user
