Configuring Communications

4.Select a desired Access Point by touching the corresponding row. The up arrow and down arrow will be grayed out if there are ten or less access points detected. If there are more, then they will be enabled as appropriate so that the user can scroll through the list.

5.With the desired WAP selected and highlighted, click the Connect button to be directed to the selected security mode’s Settings page with the SSID field filled in. You can then either Cancel the operation or fill in any necessary information fields and then click Save.

If you select an Open, WEP, and WPA-PSK Access Point and then click Connect, you will be flipped to the corresponding Settings page. For any other security mode, if you click Connect you will only return to the previous page without any information being pre-filled out for you.

In an Open security mode, when a target WAP is selected and the connect to, the SSID name of the selected WAP is saved for the open security mode.

In a Static WEP security mode, when a WEP Access Point is selected and then connected to, the user is then redirected back to the Static WEP security screen where the SSID field is already filled out and the user is only required to enter in the remaining WEP key settings.

A similar process occurs for WPA-PSK access points. For any other case, the firmware switches back to the previous page and security and connection parameters must be entered in as normal.

Step 2: Configure the Card’s Wireless Security Settings

The second step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the Wireless Settings section of the Wireless Settings page. This section configures both the communication and security parameters from the internal wireless card to the WAP. The procedures outlined within the following sections use

an 802.11g card to configure a common security configuration to a target WAP.

Refer to either the Wireless Settings Page section on page 66 or the Appendix B - Wireless

Technology section on page 151 for more information on the other security methods.

Once you have set up the wireless card parameters, you must configure the communication parameters for the target Master; see Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode section on page 31.
