You have learned how to configure wireless settings to connect to a LAN using either WEP or WPA security settings.   When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue.Congratulations! You have learned how to configure wireless settings to connect to a LAN using either WEP or WPA security settings. What is the difference between WEP and WPA securit Learn more about the differences between WEP and WPA security settings. Wireless Encryption Protocol(WEP) provides security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another. WEP's weakness is its use of static encryption keys, which are susceptible to interception by non-authenticated users. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides stronger wireless dataencryption by using the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles encryption keys using an algorithm. WPA also provides a more secure authentication protocol. WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK) offers a more user-friendly encryption passphrase for authentication. The key difference is that WPA delivers a higher level of security than WEP, although WEP is more widely used. When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue. The CLINITEK Status® Connect System stores results in instrument memory for up to 950 patient tests and 200 QC tests.

You have completed the CLINITEK Status® Connect System Configuration and Managing Data online course. Once you have reviewed the content on this page, you may proceed to the assessment portion of the course. In this course, you have learned how to: Identify steps to set and configure wired settings to connect to a LAN. For wired connectivity, attach the supplied Ethernet cable to the connector platform’s RJ45 port and the other end into a LAN socket. From the Select Ready screen, click Instrument SetUp>Instrument Settings>Connectivity to enable the Connectivity Platform and Allow results to be sent to PC options. On the second Connectivity screen, select the Wired connection option. Use the options on the 4 Wired Settings screens to set IP address, device name, gateway address, subnet mask, communications protocol and host settings. Use the keypad to enter the information. Identify steps to set and configure wireless settings to connect to a LAN. For wireless connectivity, plug the optional wireless card into the connector platform’s rear USB port. From the Select Ready screen, click Instrument Setup>Instrument Settings>Connectivity to enable the Connectivity Platform and Allow results to be sent to PC options. On the second Connectivity screen, select the Wireless connection option. Wireless security options include 4 options: Disabled, WEP, WPA and WPA PSK. Before a wireless local area network (WLAN) can gain access to other LAN resources, it must be authenticated. For WEP, the authentication options are Open system, shared key, IEE 802.1x and pre-shared key. If Open system is selected, the IEEE802.1x option also must be selected. Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) provides security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another. WEP's weakness is its use of static encryption keys, which are susceptible to interception by non-authenticated users. For WEP security, WEP encryption must be set up through entry of a WEP key and key index. Use the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) option to set a dynamic IP address, including SSID (Service Set Identifier) and device name. After the system is connected to the network, enter and edit host settings for PC name, IP address and Port number. To set communication protocol, select POCT1 or HL7. If POCT1 is selected, the Enter Patient information screen appears when running a strip test, even in the Quick Test mode. When WPA security is selected, there are two options for encryption: TKIP and AES. Settings must be configured for IP address, device name, SSID, port number and host information. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides stronger wireless data encryption by using the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles encryption keys using an algorithm. WPA also provides a more secure authentication protocol. WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK) offers a more user-friendly encryption passphrase for authentication.

To recall stored results, click on Recall Results from the Select Ready screen. From the Recall Options screen, you can recall stored test results as well as send records to an external system Patient and QC tests can be searched in the instrument database or from a memory stick. Searches can be performed by name, ID or date. Stored results are viewable by date in descending chronological order. An individual record also can be selected and reviewed. Options are available to “send all” or “print all” records. Note: Recalling QC tests option is available only on the CLINITEK Status® Connect System. Select Next to continue.
