BS and clients need to use the same setting or the both setting that allows either type The TKIP cipher has a hardware limit of around 23 concurrent clients There is also support for legacy WEP encryption Be advised that the way to crack WEP encryption is well known and fast If the wireless network makes use of WEP keys the WEP keys settings must be configured in the BS To adjust the WEP settings change the selection from Disabled to either WEP 128 bit or WEP 64 bit The WEP key consists of hexadecimal numbers 0 9 and A F and the length ofthe key depends on the chosen key size 64 or 128 bits If a 64 bit key is used ten hex numbers shall be typed in the WEP key field Ifa 128 bit key is used 26 hex numbers shall be typed in Observe that the same key set has to be used on the CPE side of the connection The Authentication method used is Shared key It is also important that the right WEP key number to use is chosen For example ifthe BS uses WEP key 1 the CPEs also have to use this key number Associated stations Here all associated stations should be presented when the CPEs are connected Ifthe RCS not is used the clients CPEs and other BS in client mode have to be enabled under the Access tab see section 1 2 9 Page 8 of 14 1 2 3 Configure tab Client mode For client mode settings check Figure 4 Radio Device 2 Client P2M P2M Warning This device has been configured to use RCS Changes made he2. rag E Page 14 of 14 Support On our web site http www tucnetworks com you can find the latest upgrades of all firmware product news FAQ and other information related to the products Our Warranty Repeatit AB Hamngatan 33 S 172 66 Sundbyberg Sweden guarantee that our products do not have any defects regarding material or function upon delivery All of Repeatit s products are covered by a 12 month international warranty If during the time of warranty the product displays any defects regarding material or function the products should be returned to your reseller who will according to their own judgment either repair or replace the product according to the following conditions Conditions 1 The warranty is only valid in combination with an original receipt issued by the reseller at the date of delivery or sales The receipt needs to contain the product s serial number or similar identification 2 If Repeatit repairs or replaces the product the repaired or replaced product will be covered by the original warranty during the remainder of the guarantee period During repair some parts might be replaced These parts are then the property of Repeatit AB 3 The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear faulty usage or handling or other usage other than the one prescribed by Repeatit AB The warranty does not cover defects caused by accidents 4 The warranty is not valid if service is performed on the produ
