Taicom Data Systems Co Ltd AWL1000G User Manual
The authentication scheme is separate form the data encryption. You can choose an
authentication scheme which requires a shared key but still leave the data transmission
unencrypted. If you require stronger security, use both the Shared Key and WEP encryption
settings.
Passphrase: Passphrase is used much like a password. It simplifies the WEP encryption process
by automatically generating the WEP keys for this Wireless Router. Enter any word, up to 16
characters, or manually enter up to four sets of your hexadecimal digits in Key 0 - 3 fields.
Key 0-3: You are able to manually enter 4 encryption keys, only one of which is enabled at any
given time. All devices on the network must share the selected key in order to communicate with
the Wireless Router. The key length for 64 bit is 10 hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f and A-F, e.g.
1234567890) and the key length for 128 bit is 26 hexadecimal digits (e.g.
11223344556677889900abcdef). Select which key (0-3) will be used when the Wireless Router
sends data. Make sure the receiving device is using the same key.
Secret AP: If you enable Secret AP (to hide your SSID), only devices that have the correct SSID
can connect. Enabling Secret AP broadcast nullifies the wireless network ‘discovery’ feature of
some devices such as Windows XP. System default is disabled.

5.9.2 Advanced Setting
This page allows you to configure advanced wireless properties and security.
Beacon Interval (1-4095): This field indicates the time interval in milliseconds that a system
broadcast packet, or beacon, is sent to synchronize the wireless network. System default is 100
(milliseconds).
DTIM Interval (1-65535): DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a wireless message
used to inform clients in Power Saving Mode when the system should wake up to receive
broadcast and multicast messages. Type the time interval in which the system will broadcast a
