Use the W310 Device Manager to assign SSIDs (wireless network name) to
the W110s.
IMPORTANT:
The W310 Device Manager web interface will prompt you to
install the Java Runtime Environment version 1.4.2 if you do
not have it installed, or, if you have an earlier version. Click
Yes to install or you will not be able to access the web
interface.
a. Open your browser.
b. Enter the IP address you assigned in Step 2 to the W310. Use the for-
mat http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
is the IP address of the switch.
c. Enter the default User Name and Password: root
d. After the W310 Manager loads, click Configure and then SSID Table
from the menu bar. The SSID Table appears.
e. To create a new SSID, click the Insert button on the bottom of the
page. A new row displays underneath the "default." You can create up
to 15 additional SSIDs.

f. Click the checkbox for each W110 you want to associate with the
SSID. The W110s are numbered to match the ports on the W310. By
default no ports are selected.
NOTE:
You can edit the "default" SSID row if necessary by selecting any of the
(cont.)
parameters. However, you cannot delete the default SSID.
g. Now you are ready to set the security for the wireless network.

Set the wireless network security.
a. On the SSID Table dialog (Step 3), click the Security Mode
column. The default Security Mode is none, but it is recommended
that you set a security type for the wireless network to avoid improper
access.
b. From the drop-down menu, select the type of wireless network secu-
rity you want to use.
— Select WEP. WEP or Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged on an
802.11 network using an encryption key.
Set the WEP key strings. WEP Key 1 is the default key if you
are using the same WEP key for all SSIDs. Click on the text
box for the key and type in an ASCII character string. Key 1 is
also the default Effective WEP Key.
If you need to enter a WEP key for additional SSIDs, you must
always use WEP Key 1 for each SSID. After you enter the key,
select Key 1 from the Effective WEP Key drop-down menu.
CAUTION:
For WEP, make sure you enter the exact number of ASCII
characters required. If you do not enter the correct number, the
key will go back to the default.
Depending on the encryption type, you must use the exact
number of ASCII characters, as listed below.
64-bit encryption requires a five (5) character string.
128-bit encryption requires a 13 character string.
152-bit encryption requires a 16 character string.
