neighborhood of your Access Point, take a cautious attitude in selecting channel number.
Otherwise, by selecting too close channel number with your neighbor Access Point,
raise channel interference problems. This problem can degrade wireless LAN air link

WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. WEP is an encryption scheme that provides
the secure wireless data communications to the users. WEP uses a 64bit-key or 128bitkey to control the network access. In order to do secure communication over the
wireless LAN network, enable WEP function.
If you enable WEP function, select one of four WEP default key number. You can choose
any one number from 1 to 4. And then, there occur Exclude Unencrypted question.
This question asks you whether you allow a client that does not use WEP function. Next
question is WEP Key Generation Mode. There are two ways to generate the WEP key.

2.3 Verifying the Operation of the Acrowave Access Point
The AP runs a series of self-tests on power-up and reports status using its LEDs.
When power-up begins, the following occurs:
a. The firmware begins running diagnostics, initializes minimal hardware.
b. After the firmware completes its diagnostics and hardware initialization. The
diagnostics then checks the RF module to see whether it is properly runs in the AP.
And then, the firmware downloads RF module operating program.
c.
Upon successful completion of the diagnostics and program download, After Radio
Link LED turns on and then turns off for a few seconds all the LED display steady
bright.
The diagnostics take approximately 30 seconds to complete after power-up. Upon
successful completion of the diagnostics, the LED pattern shown in below figure is
displayed.
If the AP fails to display the proper LED pattern, verify that you have correctly installed
the AP. If the AP still fails to display the LED pattern, refer to troubleshooting section.
