[. . . ] Key Length Type 64-bit 128-bit Hex characters 0-9, A-F, a-f 10 characters 26 characters ASCII alphanumeric format 5 characters 13 characters Key 1: Enables users to create WEP keys with WPS enabled. Manually enter a set of values for Key 1. Note: Key 1 ~ Key 4: Enables users to create up to 4 different WEP keys with WPS disabled. Select a key to use by clicking the radio button next to the key. WPA/WPA2/WPA-Auto Security with EAP If WPA, WPA2 or WPA2-Auto EAP is selected, the above screen is shown. Please set the length of the encryption key and the parameters for the RADIUS server. Encryption Type: Select the encryption type for TKIP, AES or AUTO encryption. Note: TKIP is available for B or G WLAN Band only. The WLAN Band setting is under Wireless/Advanced. www. encore-usa. com 31 RADIUS Server 1: Enter the IP address, Port used and Shared Secret by the Radius Server 1. WPA/WPA2/WPA2-Auto Security with PSK If WPA, WPA2 or WPA2-Auto PSK is selected, the above screen is shown. Encryption Type: Select the encryption type for TKIP, AES or AUTO encryption.

Passphrase: The length should be 8 characters at least. www. encore-usa. com 32 Advanced This screen enables users to configure advanced wireless functions. Beacon Interval: Type the beacon interval in the text box. The default beacon interval is 100. RTS Threshold: Type the RTS (Request-To-Send) threshold in the text box. If data flow is irregular, choose values between 256 and 2346 until data flow is normalized. Fragmentation Threshold: Type the fragmentation threshold in the text box. If packet transfer error rates are high, choose values between 1500 and 2346 until packet transfer rates are minimized. (NOTE: set this fragmentation threshold value may diminish system performance. ) DTIM Interval: Type a DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) interval in the text box. User can specify www. encore-usa. com 33 Wi-Fi Protected Setup This screen enables users to configure the Wi-Fi Protected Setup function. WPS: Enable or Disable the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function Status: Display the status (Un-configured State/Configured State) information of WPS.

DHCP Enable the DHCP server to allow the WLAN Router to automatically assign IP addresses to devices connecting to the LAN. All DHCP client computers are listed in the table at the bottom of the screen, providing the host name, IP address, and MAC address of the client. Start IP: Type an IP address to serve as the start of the IP range that DHCP will use to assign IP addresses to all LAN devices connected to the WLAN Router. www. encore-usa. com 35 End IP: Type an IP address to serve as the end of the IP range that DHCP will use to assign IP addresses to all LAN devices connected to the WLAN Router. Lease Time: The lease time specifies the amount of connection time a network user be allowed with their current dynamic IP address. Routing This page allows the user to setup Static or Dynamic routing Static Network Address: Enter the target IP address in the textbox. Interface: Select "LAN" or "WAN" from drop-down list. Metric: Enter the number of `hops' in the textbox; normally you can set the value to `0'. Click the "Add" button to save the settings. www. encore-usa. com 36 Dynamic Dynamic routing is a technique developed to automatically adjust routing tables in the event of network failures.
