Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20

characters or more for maximum security.

Encryption Set the type to the minimum required security level. The “+”

sign indicates that the group (broadcast) encryption method

is different from the pairwise (unicast) encryption. For

example, for CCMP+TKIP, CCMP is the pairwise encryption

and TKIP is the group encryption.

Fixed or Automatic Data Rate

WiSpan enables you to control of the transmission rate. Select 0 to set a fixed data rate

or select 1 to set an automatic data rate. The default is 1 (auto fallback).

TX Data rate: 0=fixed, 1=auto fallback <1> ?

Transmission Data Rate

If the TX Data rate (above) is fixed, the selected data rate is the WiSpan’s fixed

transmission rate. If the TX Data rate is auto fallback, the selected data rate is the

WiSpan’s maximum data rate. Lower data rates allow for larger distances. They may also

be required when communicating with older devices. The default is 11 Mbps.

TX Data rate 0=1, 1=2, 2=5.5, 3=11

4=18, 5=24, 6=36, 7=54 Mbps (0) ? _

Enable Power Management

Select Y (Yes) to enable the software to turn off the radio when expecting not to receive

or transmit soon. This feature reduces the power consumption by up to 170 mA. Enabling

power management increases the response time, because the radio needs to start up

again. The radio synchronizes and checks for incoming messages (every 100 ms).

Note: This option is not available when the topology is AdHoc.

Enable power management (N) ?

Next Steps

1. Upon completing the IP and WLAN settings, select menu option 9 Save and exit.

2. To configure the WiSpan further using the setup port, continue to 7: Advanced

Settings and Defaults (Setup Mode).
