CONFIG Commands
set wireless mode { both-b-and-g | b-only | g-only }
Beginning with Netopia Firmware Version 7.5.1. specifies the wireless operating mode for
connecting wireless clients:
both-b-and-g
,
b-only
, or
g-only
, and locks the Gateway in
that mode.
NOTE:
If you choose to limit the operating mode to B or G only, clients using the
mode you excluded will not be able to connect.
set wireless multi-ssid option { on | off }
Beginning with Netopia Firmware Version 7.5.1. enables or disables the
multi-ssid
feature
which allows you to add additional network identifiers (SSIDs or
Network Names
) for your
wireless network. When enabled, you can specify up to three additional SSIDs with sepa-
rate privacy settings for each. See below.
set wireless multi-ssid {second-ssid | third-ssid | fourth-ssid }
name
Specifies a descriptive name for each SSID. when
multi-ssid option
is set to
on.

WPA-802.1x }
set wireless multi-ssid third-ssid-privacy { off | WEP | WPA-PSK |
WPA-802.1x }
set wireless multi-ssid fourth-ssid-privacy { off | WEP | WPA-PSK |
WPA-802.1x }
Specifies the type of privacy enabled on multiple SSIDs when
multi-ssid option
is set to
on
. off = no privacy; WEP = WEP encryption; WPA-PSK = Wireless Protected Access/Pre-
Shared Key; WPA-802.1x = Wireless Protected Access/802.1x authentication. See

for more information.
NOTE:
WEP is supported on only one SSID at a time, and should not be available if
another SSID already has it configured.

WPA2-only }
set wireless multi-ssid third-ssid-wpa-ver { all | WPA1-only |

set wireless multi-ssid fourth-ssid-wpa-ver { all | WPA1-only |

and privacy is set tp

. See

set wireless multi-ssid second-ssid-weplen [ 40/64bit | 128bit | 256bit ]
set wireless multi-ssid third-ssid-weplen [ 40/64bit | 128bit | 256bit ]
set wireless multi-ssid fourth-ssid-weplen [ 40/64bit | 128bit | 256bit ]
Specifies the WEP key length for the multiple SSIDs, when
second-
,
third-
, or
fourth-
ssid-privacy
is set to
WEP
.
40bit
encryption is equivalent to
64bit
encryption. The longer
the key, the stronger the encryption and the more difficult it is to break the encryption.

CONFIG Commands
set wireless multi-ssid second-ssid-wepkey {
hexadecimal digits
}
set wireless multi-ssid third-ssid-wepkey {
hexadecimal digits
}
set wireless multi-ssid fourth-ssid-wepkey {
hexadecimal digits
}
Specifies a WEP key for the multiple SSIDs, when
second-
,
third-
, or
fourth-ssid-privacy
is set to
WEP
. For 40/64bit encryption, you need 10 digits; 26 digits for 128bit, and 58
digits for 256bit WEP. Valid hexadecimal characters are 0 – 9, a – f.
set wireless no-bridging [ off | on ]
When set to
on
, this will block wireless clients from communicating with other wireless cli-
ents on the LAN side of the Gateway.
set wireless tx-power [ full | medium | fair | low | minimal ]
Sets the wireless transmit power, scaling down the router's wireless transmit coverage by
lowering its radio power output. Default is
full
power. Transmit power settings are useful in
large venues with multiple wireless routers where you want to reuse channels. Since there
are only three non-overlapping channels in the 802.11b spectrum, it helps to size the
router's cell to match the location. This allows you to install a router to cover a small
“hole” without conflicting with other routers nearby.
Wireless Privacy Settings
set wireless network-id privacy option { off | WEP | WPA-PSK |
WPA-802.1x }
Specifies the type of privacy enabled on the wireless LAN. off = no privacy; WEP = WEP
encryption; WPA-PSK = Wireless Protected Access/Pre-Shared Key; WPA-802.1x = Wireless
Protected Access/802.1x authentication. See
“Wireless” on page 53
for a discussion of
these options.
WPA provides Wireless Protected Access, the most secure option for your wireless net-
work. This mechanism provides the best data protection and access control. PSK requires
a Pre-Shared Key; 802.1x requires a RADIUS server for authentication.
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a method of encrypting data between the wireless Gate-
way and its clients. It is strongly recommended to turn this
on
as it is the primary way to
Page 294 / 351
294
protect your network and data from intruders. Note that 40bit is the same as 64bit and will
work with either type of wireless client. The default is
off
.
A single key is selected (see
default-key
) for encryption of outbound/transmitted packets.
The WEP-enabled client must have the identical key, of the same length, in the identical
slot (1..4) as the wireless Gateway, in order to successfully receive and decrypt the
packet. Similarly, the client also has a ‘default’ key that it uses to encrypt its transmis-
sions. In order for the wireless Gateway to receive the client’s data, it must likewise have
the identical key, of the same length, in the same slot. For simplicity, a wireless Gateway
and its clients need only enter, share, and use the first key.
set wireless network-id privacy pre-shared-key
string
The Pre Shared Key is a passphrase shared between the Router and the clients and is
used to generate dynamically changing keys, when
WPA-PSK
is selected or enabled. The
passphrase can be 8 – 63 characters. It is recommended to use at least 20 characters for
best security.
set wireless network-id privacy default-keyid { 1...4 }
Specifies which WEP encryption key (of 4) the wireless Gateway will use to transmit data.
The client
must
have an identical matching key, in the same numeric slot, in order to suc-
cessfully decode. Note that a client allows you to choose which of its keys it will use to
transmit. Therefore, you must have an identical key in the same numeric slot on the Gate-
way.
For simplicity, it is easiest to have both the Gateway and the client transmit with the same
key. The default is
1
.
set wireless network-id privacy encryption-key1-length
{40/64bit, 128bit, 256bit}
set wireless network-id privacy encryption-key2-length
{40/64bit, 128bit, 256bit}
set wireless network-id privacy encryption-key3-length
{40/64bit, 128bit, 256bit}
set wireless network-id privacy encryption-key4-length
{40/64bit, 128bit, 256bit}
Selects the length of each encryption key.
40bit
encryption is equivalent to
64bit
encryp-
tion. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption and the more difficult it is to break the
encryption.

The encryption keys. Enter keys using hexadecimal digits. For 40/64bit encryption, you
need 10 digits; 26 digits for 128bit, and 58 digits for 256bit WEP. Valid hexadecimal char-
acters are 0 – 9, a – f.
Example 40bit key:
02468ACE02.
Example 128bit key:
0123456789ABCDEF0123456789.
Example 256bit key:
592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F21A09C.
You must set at least one of these keys, indicated by the default-keyid.
