6.Click Add to add the wireless device to the access list. Repeat these steps for each additional device you want to add to the list.

7.Be sure to click Apply to save your wireless access control list settings.

Now, only devices on this list will be allowed to wirelessly connect to the WG302.

How to Configure WEP

To configure WEP data encryption, follow these steps:

1.Log in to the WG302 using its default address of http://192.168.0.228 or at whatever IP address the unit is currently configured Use the default user name of admin and default password of password, or whatever LAN address and password you have set up.

2.Click the WEP/WPA Settings link in the main menu of the WG302.

3.Choose Open System or Shared Key authentication.

4.Select encryption strength.

5.You can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all PCs and Access Points in your network.

Automatic - enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button. The four key boxes will be automatically populated with key values.

Manual - enter ten hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F) Select which of the four keys will be the default.

See “Overview of WEP Parameters” on page B-5 for a full explanation of each of these options, as defined by the IEEE 802.11 wireless communication standard.

6.Click Apply to save your settings.

Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure WEP settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless adapter to match the new settings or access the wireless access point from a wired computer to make any further changes.
