AVM Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7050 Installation, Configuration And Operation page 67

Make sure that the computer automatically obtains its IP ad-
dress from the DHCP server of FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN. For infor-
mation about how to check this settings and change it if
needed, see the section "IP Settings" from page 72.
Checking the WLAN Adapter Settings
Open the WLAN software you use to make settings for the
WLAN adapter and proceed as follows:
Enter the key in hexadecimal format, not in ASCII for-
mat.
Make sure that "Open" or "Open key" is set as the kind
of registration or authentication.
In the Windows XP WLAN software, this means you
must disable the "Network Authentication (integrated
mode)" setting. This setting is located on the "Assign-
ment" settings page in the "Wireless Network Proper-
ties" window.
Check the key index. When operation is started for the
first time, the key index must be "1".
If four fields are available for the key entry in your WLAN
software, "Key 1" through "Key 4", then you must enter
the key in the field "Key 1".
The Windows XP WLAN software has only one field for
the key entry, "Network key". The key index must be set
in the field "Key index (advanced)". This setting is locat-
ed on the "Association" settings page in the "Wireless
Network Properties" window.
If this procedure is not successful, change the settings in
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN as described in the section "Changing
Settings in FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN" from page 69.
