However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] Selecting SCAN is an alternative configuration method that allows you to scan for nearby wireless networks, select the network you wish to extend and the settings will automatically be applied. Associated Clients Click "Show Active Clients " button and the "Active Wireless Client Table" will pop up. You can see the status of all active wireless computers that are connecte d to the Range Extender. Click Apply button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the Range Extender. Active Wireless Client Table "Active Wireless Client Table " records the status of all active wireless computers that are connecting to the Range Extender. You can lookup the MAC Address, Number of Transmitted Packets, Number of Received Packets and Encryption Status of each active wireless client in this table. Parameter Description 14 Hawking Technologies Hi-Gain Wireless-G Range Extender Configuration MAC Address Tx Packet MAC address of this active wireless computer. The number of transmitted packets that are sent out from this active wireless computer. Rx Packet The number of received packets that are received by this active wireless computer. TX Rate Power Saving Expired Time The transmission rate in Mbps. Shows if the wireless client is in Power Saving mode. The time in second before dissociation. If the wireless keeps idle long than the expired time, this Range Extender will dissociate it. The wireless client computer has to associate again when it become active. Refresh Close Refresh the "Active Wireless Client Table". Refresh the "Active Wireless Client Table". Wireless Site Survey The Wireless Site Survey displays all wireless networks within the range of your Wireless Range Extender. It provides detailed information on each detected network, including: Encryption, Network Data Rate, Device Mac Address, Channel Number, Signal Strength and Device Mode/Type. 15 Hawking Technologies Hi-Gain Wireless-G Range Extender Configuration Set Wireless Security "Security" lets you setup the wireless security for the data transmission between the Range Extender, the Source Access Point and the wireless computers connecting to the Range Extender. Encryption settings include "WEP 64bits", "WEP 128bits", "WPA (TKIP)", "WPA2 (AES)" encryption methods. Parameter Description 16 Hawking Technologies Hi-Gain Wireless-G Range Extender Configuration You can select "Disable ", " WEP 64bits", "WEP 128bits", "WPA (TKIP)" or "WPA2 (AES)" encryption methods. This is only used when you select " WEP 64bits" or "WEP 128bits" encryption method. You may select to select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0 -9" range) to be the WEP Key. For example: ASCII Characters: guest Hexadecimal Digits: 12345abcde This is only used when you select " WEP 64bits" or "WEP 128bits" encryption method. The WEP key is used to encrypt data transmitted between the bridged Range Extenders. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a -f" and "0 -9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys . 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a -f" and "0-9" range) or 10-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys. Encryption Key Format WEP Key Pre-shared Key Format You may select to select Passphrase (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a -f" and "0-9 " range) to be the Preshared Key. For example: Passphrase: iam guest Hexadecimal Digits: 12345abcde Pre-shared Key The Pre-shared key is used to authenticate and encrypt data transmitted between the bridged Range Extenders. Hex WEP: input 64 -digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or at least 8 character pass phrase as the pre-shared keys . Click Apply button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or st rt using the Range Extender. a 17 Hawking Technologies Hi-Gain Wireless-G Range Extender Configuration 3. 2. 3 Security This Range Extender provides complete wireless LAN security functions, include WEP, IEEE 802. 11x, IEEE 802. 11x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless computers use the same security function. Note: This Range Extender can act as computer and AP at the same time. The security settings apply the same configuration to AP function and computer function. WEP only When you select 64-bit or128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. [. . . ] The DHCP Server will change your LAN client's IP address when this time threshold period is reached. Click Apply button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the Range Extender. 29 Hawking Technologies Hi-Gain Wireless-G Range Extender Configuration 3. 2. 7 Configuration Tool The Configuration Tools screen allows you to save (Backup) the Range Extender's current configuration setting. Saving the configuration settings provides an added protection and convenience should problems occur with the Range Extender and you have to reset to factory default. When you save the configuration setting (Backup) you can re-load the saved configuration into the Range Extender through the Restore selection. [. . . ]
