Taicom Data Systems Co Ltd AWL1000G User Manual

This page allows you to configure basic wireless properties and security. 
 

 

 
SSID: The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a unique name for your wireless network. If you have 
other wireless access points in your network, they must share the same SSID. 
The SSID can be up to 31 characters. System default is default. 
 
Channel: Select the appropriate channel to correspond with your network settings, between 1 
and 14. All access points and wireless PC adaptors must share the same channel to interoperate. 
Range is for Channel field is 1 - 14, default is 6. If any number greater than 14 is entered, the 
field will default to the value 14. 
 
Security: The ADSL Router provides a security encryption tool known as WEP (Wired 
Equivalent Privacy). WEP is designed to provide security and privacy equivalent to that found in 
a wired network. This is done by encrypting the data packets sent between client and host with an 
encryption key. Both the client (PC) and the host (access point/router) must have the same WEP 
key in order to communicate. The available WEP settings are 64 bit and 128 bit. The higher the 
bit value on the encryption, the more secure the data transmission. Select Enable Encryption to 
activate this feature. 
 
Key Length: Choose between 64 bit (default) and 128 bit. 128 bit offers more security, but at the 
cost of slower packet processing. 
 
Auth Type (Authentication Type): For Open System authentication, the sender and the receiver 
do not use a WEP key for authentication while Shared Key authentication uses a WEP key for 
authentication. System default is Open System.
