(Also you can obtain MAC address for copying or entering manually by the scan. ) · Encryption: support only WEP mode for security. 18 5. 2. 4 WDS AP Repeater A repeater is placed between an AP and a client to extend the distance between the two WLAN devices. Functioning as a WDS repeater, ZEW3002 connects to both a client card as an AP and to another AP. In typical repeater applications, APs connecting to other APs equipped with WDS functionality must also support WDS. Figure below shows an example of a Repeater network with two ZEW3002 Repeaters connected to a ZEW3002 (AP mode), with each Repeater allowing wireless clients to associate. Note: WDS AP Repeater mode only can be enabled on two or more ZEW3002 networking environment. 19 Click Apply to save your settings. · SSID: The name of your wireless network. · Channel: The operating channel · WDS mode: Dynamic key or Static key; At least one of the two associated repeater should be set as static key. If selecting dynamic key for one repeater, you don't have to fill the other repeater's MAC addresses at the MAC list field. · WDS remote AP MAC List: MAC addresses of the repeaters that are connected to this repeater. Up to six MAC Addresses can be entered. Note: MAC addresses also can be searched by clicking Scan button and click Add button to select the item to the list. · Encryption: support only WEP mode for security. 20 5. 2. 5 Client mode When Client mode is selected, ZEW3002 associates with another AP within its range. Figure below shows the Client mode ZEW3002 as a wireless client in infrastructure mode. Connect the LAN port of the ZEW3002 with Ethernet interface of the wired network. Click Apply to save your settings. 21 · SSID: The wireless network's name you want to associate with. · Scan button: you can through the scan function to display exit wireless network of the neighborhood, and click Add to establish connection with it. · Encryption: Select disable, WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA_WPA2 Mixed mode for security. 5. 3 Access Filter The Access filter page allows you to configure ZEW3002 to allow or block association with itself based on the MAC address of clients. [. . . ] The 40bit and 64bit encryption are the same because of out 64 bits, 40 bits are private. Therefore, all devices on a wireless network must use the same key and same type of encryption. There are 2 methods for entering the KEY; one is to enter a 16-bit HEX digit. Using this method, users must enter a 10-digit number (for 64-bit) or 26-digit number (for 128-bit) in the KEY field.
