Recording Basic Wireless Settings Setup Information

Before and after customizing your wireless settings, print this section, and record the
following information. If you are working with an existing wireless network, the person who
set up or is responsible for the network can provide this information. Otherwise, you must
choose the settings for your wireless network. Either way, record the settings for your
wireless network in the spaces provided. Store this information in a safe place.
• Wireless Network Name (SSID). ______________________________ The SSID
identifies the wireless network. You can use up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The SSID
is case-sensitive. The SSID in the wireless adapter card must match the SSID of the
wireless router. In some configuration utilities (such as in Windows XP), the term
"wireless network name" is used instead of SSID.
• If WEP Authentication is used, circle one: Shared Key or Auto.
Note: If you select Shared Key, the other devices in the network will not
connect unless they are also set to Shared Key and are configured
with the correct key.
- WEP Encryption Key Size. Choose one: 64-bit or 128-bit. Again, the encryption key
size must be the same for the wireless adapters and the wireless router.
- Data Encryption (WEP) Keys. There are two methods for creating WEP data
encryption keys. Whichever method you use, record the key values in the spaces
provided.
• Passphrase Method. ______________________________ These characters
are case-sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable characters and click
Generate. Not all wireless devices support the passphrase method.
• Manual Method. These values are not case-sensitive. For 64-bit WEP, enter 10
hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F). For 128-bit WEP, enter
26 hexadecimal digits.
Key 1: ___________________________________
Key 2: ___________________________________
Key 3: ___________________________________
Key 4: ___________________________________
• If WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK authentication is used:
- Passphrase. ______________________________ These characters are
case-sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable characters. When you use
WPA-PSK, the other devices in the network will not connect unless they are also set
to WPA-PSK and are configured with the correct passphrase. Similarly, when you use
WPA2-PSK, the other devices in the network will not connect unless they are also set
to WPA2-PSK and are configured with the correct passphrase.
