Using the Setup Wizard
Wireless Client
When configuring the unit to operate as a wireless client, you will need to proceed
through the following two steps:
1.
Settings – The settings page takes you through the process of searching and
selecting the access point to which you want to connect.
If you know the SSID of the wireless network, you can enter it directly in the text
box provided. Otherwise, you may perform a wireless scan to detect all access
points that are within range, and then select the access point you want to
connect to from a list.
Site Survey – Performs a wireless scan on all channels to detect all nearby
access points. A list of deteced access points is displayed from which you can
select an access point to connect to.
Selected AP SSID – Enter the service set identifier of the wireless network you
want to connect to. The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32
alphanumeric characters.
WEP Key – WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy) provides a basic level of
security in wireless networks, it prevents unauthorized access by encrypting
data transmitted between wireless clients and an access point. WEP uses static
shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are
manually distributed to all clients that want to use an access point. If the
wireless network you are connecting to uses WEP security, you need to enter
the WEP key provided to you by the network operator.
Show Connection Status – Displays the connection status of the unit to the
selected access point.
