The "LINK" tab The "LINK" tab is similar to the Ping Command used in computers to verify Ethernet connection is established. It allows you to monitor transmission quality between two stations. Enter the IP address of another station, set the timeout and packet size to see if the communication was sent successfully. The "WEP" tab If an additional measure of security is desired on the wireless network, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption can be enabled. Please select "Enable" in the above screen, if you wish to activate encryption. To activate WEP encryption, you will also need to select the "Key Length." You may select either "64 Bits" or "128 Bits." Please choose the "Key Length" that is the same as your Access Point. (Please refer to the manual for your Access Point to find the information). Input 4 different "Key Settings" in the fields provided. For 64 Bits WEP encryption, you may enter 5 characters in the range of "a-z", "A-Z" and "0-9" (for example: MyKey); or a 10 digit hexadecimal value in the range "A-F", "a-f", and "0-9."(For example: 11AA22BB33). For 128 Bits WEP encryption, you will enter 13 characters in the range of "a-z", "A-Z" and "0-9" (for example: MyKey12345678); or 26 digit hexadecimal number for 128-bit encryption. If the number is entered incorrectly the function will not work. Note: The Key Settings must match the Access Point for proper operation. After entering the WEP keys, choose the WEP key you wish to use and click "Apply" for the configuration to take effect. 12
