Print this form, fill in the configuration parameters and put it in a safe place for possible future reference. For an existing wireless network, the person who set up the network will be able to provide this information.

•Wireless Network Name (SSID)

The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the wireless local area network. For the access point and wireless nodes to communicate with each other, all must be configured with the same SSID.

Note: Some wireless access points will not broadcast their SSID as a security feature. In such a case, you will need to get the SSID from the wireless network administrator.

Wireless network name (SSID): ______________________________

•WEP Security Encryption Key

The default WEP encryption key number is 1, and the default key size is 64 bits.

Note: The key number as well as the key value used by all wireless nodes must be the same. If yours is different, you will not be able to connect.

WEP Encryption Key Size, circle one: 64 or 128 bits

WEP Encryption Passphrase (case sensitive), if used: ____________________________

A Passphrase is used to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal numbers for the key. If the wireless network Access Point uses a Passphrase, you can also use that here. Otherwise, you will have to manually enter the hexadecimal numbers.

Note: Not all wireless networks support the Passphrase method of key generation. In such settings, instead of Passphrase, use the Enter Key Manually option.

WEP Hexadecimal Numbers (not case sensitive): ______________________________

—64-bit WEP: enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).

—128-bit WEP: enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).
