If the packet size is smaller than the preset fragment size, the packet will not be segmented. (Default: 2, 346 which means Disabled) Operation Mode Mode BSSID This may be set to Access Point, Range Extender, or Ethernet Adapter. (Default: Ethernet Adapter) Basic Service Set ID. The MAC address of the access point to which the adapter is connected in an infrastructure network. In an ad hoc network, the BSS ID is a random number generated by the first adapter that communicates with other clients in the network. The BSS ID of the other clients will then be set to the same value. 18 UTILITY CONFIGURATION Menu MAC Filtering Description You can decide which wireless devices are allowed to connect to the SMC2671W by adding the MAC address of allowed clients. Wireless devices that are not in the table will be denied access. · Choose Enable MAC Filtering to enable the MAC Filter. (Default: Disabled) · Key in the MAC address of the Ethernet device which is allowed to associate with the SMC2671W, and click Add. Note: The format of the MAC address is 12 hexadecimal digits, i. e. , A~F & 0~9. · Select the MAC address from the MAC Address List, and click on the Delete button to remove the client address from the SMC2671W. Note: This table will be blank if the SMC2671W is set to Ethernet Adapter mode since the Ethernet Adapter has no clients but is itself the client of an associated access point. 19 UTILITY INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Security The Security screen provides you with a versatile encryption method to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network and provide more secure data transmissions. 20 UTILITY CONFIGURATION Menu Type Encryption Enabled/Disable WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. (Default: None) Description WEP WEP (mode) Active (key) Passphrase All clients and a wireless access point in the wireless network must have the same WEP setting. The SMC2671W supports shared key encryption with key lengths of the 64-bit standard and 128-bit industry standard. For automatic 64-bit security, enter a passphrase. Four keys will be generated (as shown below). Automatic 128-bit security generates a single passphrase. You may automatically generate encryption keys or manually enter the keys. (0~9, A~F, e. g. , D7 0A 9C 7F E5. ) 64-Bit Manual Entry Key 1~4 - Each Key ID contains 10 HEX digits. 21 UTILITY INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION 128-Bit Manual Entry Key ID contains 26 HEX digits. 64-Bit Auto Entry 22 UTILITY CONFIGURATION 128-Bit Auto Entry 23 UTILITY INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION About The About tab displays the product name, the software version number of the SMC2671W Configuration management tool, and SMC copyright information. Note: Clicking the SMC logo on the screen takes you to the SMC web site (www. smc. com) for the latest firmware download. 24 CONFIGURING YOUR IP ADDRESS Windows 98/Me Note: Some Windows 9x/Me systems will request that you insert your Windows CD in order to complete the following configuration. Click the "Start" button and choose "Settings, " then click "Control Panel. " 2. Double-click the "Network" icon. 25 CONFIGURING YOUR IP ADDRESS 3. Select the TCP/IP that is bound to the network adapter that you are currently using to configure your SMC2671W.
