[. . . ] 2. 2 Point to Point Connectivity (Ad-hoc Mode) This is the simplest network configuration that several computers equipped with the PC cards or client bridges that form a wireless network whenever they are within range of one another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is linked peer-to-peer and would only have access to the resources of the other client, this requires no access point. This is the easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network. 2. 3 Point to Multi-point Connectivity (Infrastructure Mode) The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). [. . . ] Access Point Density: select the three different rates (high, medium, low) to scan the Access Points in your wireless network. WEP is an encryption method used to protect your wireless data communications. WEP uses a combination of 64-bit or 128-bit keys to provide access control to your network and encryption security for every data transmission. To decode a data transmission, each point in a network must use an identical 64-bit or 128-bit key. Higher encryption levels mean higher levels of security, but due to the complexity of the encryption, they may mean decreased network performance. For 64-bit keys, you must enter 10 hex digits (0-9; A-F) (ex: 12345ABCDE) into the four key boxes. For 128-bit keys, you must enter 26 hex digits (ex: 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890) into the key box. If you leave a key box blank, that means setting this key to all zero. WEP Enabled: In order to utilize WEP encryption, please click the checkbox. If you do not wish to utilize WEP encryption, leave the checkbox blank. WEP key to use: Select which set of key you want to use for transmitted data. To clear any values you've entered on any page, click the Cancel button. To apply any settings you've altered on any page, click the Save button. After you change any settings, it is necessary to reboot the client bridge for the new settings to take effect. 3. 2. 3 Admin IP Information Settings You can change the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway of the Client Bridge manually by selecting Static in the IP Address Mode. If you select DHCP in the IP Address Mode, the Client Bridge can get TCP/IP parameters from the DHCP server on your network. Allow upgrade uploads means you are allowed to upgrade the firmware of the Access Point using TFTP utility. IP Address Mode - Enables you to select the IP address mode: Static or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP mode enables the DHCP server on your network to override the current IP address settings. Allow Firmware Upgrade - When the box is checked, the Bridge accepts firmware upgrades. Bridge will set the wireless interface to use the MAC address of a device from the wired side. Multiple devices can be connected but only the first device will be cloned. Administration On this page, you can also change the login user name and administrator password, reboot the client bridge, reset all settings to the factory default, and switch the client bridge to AP mode. [. . . ] Administration On this page, you can also change the login user name and administrator password, reboot the AP, reset all settings to the factory default, and switch the AP to the client bridge mode. Change user name - Set or change the user name required to access the utility. Change password - Set or change the network password required to access the utility. Reboot bridge - After you have made changes through any of the screens, click this button to enable the new settings. [. . . ]
