Configuring A Wireless Client For Wep; Configuring A Wireless Client With The Network Name (Ssid) - Motorola surfboard SBG901 User Manual

Configuring a Wireless Client for WEP

If you enabled WEP and set a key by configuring WEP on the SBG901, you must
configure the same WEP key on each wireless client. The SBG901 cannot authenticate a
client if:
•
Shared Key Authentication is enabled on the SBG901 but not on the client
•
The client WEP key does not match the SBG901 WEP key
For all wireless adapters, you must enter the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key generated by the
SBG901.
CAUTION: Never provide the WEP key to anyone who is not authorized
to use your WLAN.
Configuring a Wireless Client with the Network Name
(SSID)
After you specify the network name on the Wireless Primary Network Page, many
wireless cards or adapters automatically scan for an access point, such as the SBG901
and the proper channel and data rate. If your card requires you to manually start scanning
for an access point, do so following the instructions in the documentation supplied with
the card. You must enter the same SSID in the wireless configuration setup for the
device to communicate with the SBG901.
