6.Click the Wireless tab to configure the 802.11a/b/g wireless settings. To operate on an 802.11a/b/g network, the SX-560 configuration must be configured with the wireless configuration and security parameters necessary for the SX-560 to communicate over your wireless network (check with your network administrator if you do not know these parameters).

•Select either Infrastructure (if you are using an access point) or Ad Hoc (point-to-point) as the wireless mode

•Enter the SSID for your network

•If you are using Ad Hoc, select the RF channel (not required for infrastructure)

The other parameters on this tab do not normally need to be changed (refer to Chapter 6 for information on advanced configuration).

Now click the Configure Wireless Security button to configure the wireless security parameters.

7.If you are using WPA2-PSK, select WPA2 as the Encryption Mode and select PSK as the Authentication Type. If you are using WPA- PSK, select WPA as the encryption mode and select PSK as the Authentication Type. For both WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK you must enter the Pre-Shared Key for your network and select whether you want a Group Key. Note that it is not necessary to enter a User ID or password.

If you are using WEP, select 128-bit or 64-bit as the Encryption Mode and Open Systems or Shared Key as the Authentication Type. Enter the WEP keys in hexadecimal format, and select the transmit key (Key Selection).

ExtendView does not fully support configuration of the 802.1X EAP types, so Silex recommends using the internal web pages or internal command console for 802.1X configuration as described later in this chapter.

Click OK to return to the Server Configuration window, and then click the I/O port tab to configure serial port 1.
