Securing your wireless communication using WEP encryption
To secure your wireless communication using the WEP encryption:
1. Assign the WEP encryption keys by manual or automatic generation.
Manual Assignment. For a 64-bit encryption, enter 10 hexadecimal
digits (0~9, a~f, A~F) or 5 ASCII characters in each of the four WEP
keys. For 128-bit encryption enter 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f,
A~F) or 13 ASCII characters in each of the four WEP keys.
Automatic Generation. Type a combination of up to 64 letters,
numbers, or symbols in the Passphrase field. The Web Configuration
utility uses an algorithm to generate four WEP keys based on the
typed combination.
2. Specify the default WEP encryption key in the Default Key field.
3. Click the Apply button when finished.
¡C 64-bit and 40-bit WEP keys use the same encryption method and
can interoperate on wireless networks. This lower level of WEP
encryption uses a 40-bit (10 hexadecimal digits assigned by the
user) secret key and a 24-bit Initialization Vector assigned by the
device. 104-bit and 128-bit WEP keys use the same encryption
method.
¡C Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys
¡C All wireless clients in a network must have identical WEP keys
with the access point to establish connection.
Securing your wireless communication using TKIP (WPA)
encryption
The SAA04-05224A implements the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)-PSK
authentication method to secure communication to and from wireless
devices. This method uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
encryption.
To s e c u r e yo u r w i r e l e s s
communication using the TKIP:
1. S e l e c t W P A - P S K a s t h e
Authentication Method.
2. Type 8 ~ 63 alpha-numeric
characters in the Passphrase
field.

3. Set the WPA Re-key Timer
(1 ~ 2147483647 seconds). The
re-key timer allows you to set
the time interval before the WPA
group key is changed.
A shorter re-key interval provides a more secure wireless network.
Changing the network settings
The Ethernet Interface fields allow you to configure the SmartAnt
SAA04-05224A.
Inquire the correct network settings with your network administrator before changing any Ethernet interface settings.
Enable DHCP. When enabled, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server automatically assigns the IP address, Subnet Mask, and
Default Gateway of the SmartAnt SAA04-05224A.
Use the following IP setting. Select this option to manually assign the
IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway the SmartAnt SAA0405224A.
Click Apply after configuring the network settings. Otherwise, click

Regulation Domain
IEEE 802.11b/g networks are regulated worldwide since these
networks use the 2.4GHz ~ 2.5GHz ISM (Instrumentation, Scientific,
and Medical) Band. The SmartAnt SAA04-05224A is shipped with a
default regulation domain allowed in your country/location.
The FCC (US) and ETSI (Europe) specify operation from 2.4 GHz to
2.4835 GHz. For Japan, operation is specified as 2.4 GHz to 2.497
GHz. For each supported regulatory domain, all channels marked
with “Yes” are supported. The channel center frequencies and CH ID
numbers are shown on the next page.
