3. Configuration
RF 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
SAG-1010 is operating in the same area, assign a non-overlapping channel to each device to
avoid interference.
AP Mode. You can adjust the SAG-1010 operating mode to support wireless devices using IEEE
802.11b or IEEE 802.11g standards. Setting the AP operating mode to BG mixed allows the
SAG-1010 to support both wireless standards.

The following fields allow you to configure the SAG-1010 security settings.
Authentication Type. This option allows you to select the encryption method for securing your
wireless communication. Refer to the table below for details.

Shared Key
Only wireless device(s) with the same encryption are allowed to
connect to the AP.
WEP Encryption. The encryption field allows you to set the encryption for your selected
authentication method. Refer to the table below for a comparison of the encryption settings.
specify a 64-bit or a 128-bit WEP key. A 64-bit encryption contains 10 hexadecimal digits or 5
ASCII characters. A 128-bit encryption contains 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters.

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.
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.
Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys
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 SAG-1010 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 secure your wireless communication using the TKIP:
1. Select WPA-PSK as the 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.
15
3. Configuration
A shorter re-key interval provides a more secure wireless network.
Changing the network settings
The Ethernet Interface fields allow you to configure the SAG-1010.
Inquire the correct network settings with your network administrator before changing
any Ethernet interface settings.
Enable DHCP Client. When enabled, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
automatically assigns the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway of the SAG-1010.
Use the following IP address. Select this option to manually assign the IP address, Subnet Mask,
and Default Gateway the SAG-1010.
Click Apply after configuring the network settings. Otherwise, click Reset to load the default
values.

3. Configuration
Access Control page
The MAC Access Control page allows you to control the wireless network traffic by specifying
the MAC addresses of wireless clients allowed to establish connection to the SAG-1010.
To specify the wireless clients allowed establishing connection to the SAG-1010:
1. Click , then select the Allow option. The MAC address fields are activated.
2. Type the MAC address(es) of the wireless clients allowed to establish connection to the SAG1010, and then click Apply.
Selecting the Accept association requests from any station option allows all wireless
clients operating within the SAG-1010 range to establish connection.

The browser refreshes with the new password.
Use your new password when launching both the Wireless Setting configuration
window and Web Configuration utilities.
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 SAG-1010 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.
In a multiple cell network topology, overlapping and/or adjacent cells using different channels
can operate simultaneously without interference if the distance between the center frequencies is
at least 30 MHz. Channel 14 is specifically for operation in Japan.
