The
MAC address
ses of the LANCOM devices always begin with the character string "00A057".
You will find the LAN MAC address on a sticker on the base of the device.
use the number labeled as "MAC address" that starts with "00A057". The
other numbers that may be found are

If your device is reachable at a remote location via ISDN, you can confi-
gurate it remotely with LANconfig. Further information about
configuration
can be found in the reference manual.
Ex-factory, WEP128 encryption is activated for every unconfigured
LANCOM wireless router as standard. This WEP encryption in WLAN
devices being managed by a LANCOM WLAN Controller is overwritten
by the central encryption settings in the profiles of the WLAN Control-
ler.
LANCOM wireless router:
COM wireless router for wireless configuration, the WLAN card must be
programmed with the 13-character standard WEP key.
LANCOM access point:
COM access point for wireless configuration, it is first necessary to use a
different means of configuration to reset the operating mode of a WLAN
interface to "Access point mode". A WLAN card with the 13-character
standard WEP key is then able to access the LANCOM access point.
standard WEP key
consists of the first letter "L" followed by the
of the access point in ASCII characters. The LAN MAC addres-
A device with the LAN MAC address "00A0570FB9BF" thus has a stan-
dard WEP key of "L00A0570FB9BF". This key is entered into the 'Private
WEP settings' of the device for each logical WLAN network as 'Key 1'.
To use a WLAN adapter to establish a connection to a new LANCOM
access point, the WEP128 encryption must be activated for the WLAN
adapter and the standard 13-character WEP key entered.
