Channel Number
Click this pull-down menu to manually specify the number (1-
11) of the carrier frequency (subchannel pathway) between
the selected Gateway and the wireless Wi-Fi (802.11)
network. Contact your network administrator for more
information.

For the selected Gateway, click the pull-down menu to
specify the 802.11 security protocol (encryption method) to
be used when the selected Gateway is connected to the
wireless network. The selections are as follows:
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) The WEP encryption
method was designed to provide wireless networks with the
"equivalent" security available in traditional wired "landline"
networks.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) A security protocol from the
Wi-Fi alliance for 802.11 wireless networks. It uses the
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to provide stronger
encryption than the earlier WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
method. Derived from, and a subset of, the IEEE 802.11i
security standard, WPA includes 802.1x authentication.
WPA2 Supports additional security features of the IEEE
802.11i standard that are not already included in the WPA
security protocol.
Note: For each Security Type selected, different choices
appear for the other fields in the Wireless Network Security
area of this screen.
Verifies the origin of transmitted data.
For the selected Gateway, click the pull-down menu to
specify the 802.11 authentication protocol to be used when
the selected Gateway is connected to the wireless network.
When WEP Security Type is selected, the options for the
selected Gateway are:
● Open/None: Requires no Authentication for the data
transmissions between the selected Gateway and DL-
Windows.
● Shared: Requires a shared symmetric numeric code
(encryption "key") for all data transmissions between DL-
Windows and the Gateway.
When WPA or WPA2 Security Type is selected, the option
is:
● Pre-Shared Key (PSK): Requires a numeric code
(encryption "key") previously shared between DL-
Windows and the Gateway using a secure channel for
all data transmissions.
A "key" is a numeric code used to encrypt data, and is used
to secure the data traffic between the DL-Windows, the
Gateways and the locks. The key "type" can be a pass-
word, a passphrase, or a hexadecimal string like '45D3
E454 3523 EDC2'. To ease encryption key entry, a pass-
word or passphrase can be entered instead of the cryptic
hexadecimal characters.
The reversible transformation of data from its original for-
mat into a concealed format as a process for securing its
accessibility, authenticity and integrity. Encryption uses an
encryption algorithm (sequence) and one or more encryp-
tion keys (numeric codes).
When WEP Security Type is selected, the options for the
selected Gateway are:
● 64 bits: Although the 64-bit WEP data encryption
method uses a five-character key size (forty bits or five
bytes) for symmetric encryption, plus an additional 24
factory-set bits, this method represents a relatively low
level of security.
● 128 bits: Stronger than 64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP uses
a string of 26 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F),
each representing four bits of the key.
When WPA Security Type is selected, the option for the
selected Gateway is:
● TKIP: (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), a security pro-
tocol algorithm that compliments WEP encryption with
increased security measures such as extended key
lengths and data integrity checks.
When WPA2 Security Type is selected, the options for the
selected Gateway are:
● CCMP: (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining
Message Authentication Code Protocol) improves upon
both WEP and TKIP. CCMP is a required option for Ro-
bust Security Network (RSN) compliant networks.
● TKIP: See above.

Retype Key
Type your key in the Key field, and re-type in the Retype
Key field to confirm it.
Retrieves the current settings of the Gateway and displays
these settings in this screen.
Click Save Configuration to save your settings and close
the screen, or click Close to exit without saving.
