Channel. Allows you to specify the channel the device uses to
communicate with other wireless device(s) in the network.
The 802.11g specification supports up to 13 overlapping channels for radio
communication. If several SmartAnt SAA04-05224As are operating in
the same area, assign a non-overlapping channel to each device to avoid
interference. Refer to page 3-21 for channel information.
Operation Mode. You can adjust the SAA04-05224A operating mode to
support wireless devices using IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g standards.

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

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.

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.

3.4 Firmware Restoration
The Firmware Restoration utility is a rescue tool for an SmartAnt SAA0405224A that failed during a previous firmware upload. This utility is available
in the support CD that came with the SmartAnt SAA04-05224A package.
A failed firmware upgrade causes the SmartAnt SAA04-05224A to enter
a failure mode. Use the Firmware Restoration utility to find and upload a
new firmware for the SmartAnt SAA04-05224A.
To restore the firmware:
1. Visit the website to download the latest firmware for the device.
2. Launch the Firmware Restoration utility from the Windows® desktop
by clicking Start > All Programs > Wireless AP > Firmware
Restoration.
3. The Firmware Restoration window appears.
4. Click the Browse button to locate the firmware file.
5. After selecting the firmware file, click the Upload button to begin the
firmware restoration.
The restoration process takes about 3 to 4 minutes to finish. During
