Wireless Station Configuration

This section applies to all Wireless stations wishing to use the TEW-431BRP 's Access Point,
regardless of the operating system which is used on the client.
To use the Wireless Access Point in the Wireless Router, each Wireless Station must have
compatible settings, as follows:
Mode The mode must be set to Infrastructure.
SSID (ESSID) This must match the value used on the Wireless Router. The default
value is default
Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
WEP By default, WEP on the Wireless Router is disabled.
•
If WEP remains disabled on the Wireless Router, all stations must
have WEP disabled.
•
If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, each station must use the
same settings as the Wireless Router.
Note:
By default, the TEW-431BRP supports both 802.11b and 802.11g connections. No configura-
tion is required.
