Motorola 3342, 7000, 3352N, 2200 manual Wireless supported models

Wireless (supported models)

If your Gateway is a wireless model (such as a 3347W) you can enable or disable the wireless LAN (WLAN) by clicking the Wireless link.

Wireless functionality is enabled by default.

If you uncheck the Enable Wireless checkbox, the Wireless Options are disabled, and the Gateway will not provide or broadcast any wireless LAN services.

SSID (Network ID): The SSID is preset to a number that is unique to your unit. You can either leave it as is, or change it by entering a freeform name of up to 32 characters, for example “Ed’s Wireless LAN”. On client PCs’ software, this might also be called the Network Name. The SSID is used to identify this particular wire- less LAN. Depending on their operating system or client wireless card, users must either:

•select from a list of available wireless LANs that appear in a scanned list on their client

•or, if you are in Closed System Mode (see Enable Closed System Mode below), enter this name on their clients in order to join this wireless LAN.

The pull-down menu for enabling Privacy offers four settings: WPA-802.1x,WPA-PSK, WEP - Automatic, and Off - No Privacy. WEP-Manualis also available on the Advanced Configuration Options page. See “Pri- vacy” on page 54.

☛NOTE:

On the 2200-Series Gateways, WEP-Manualprivacy is enabled by default. Use the Motorola Netopia® Installation Wizard on the accompanying Motorola Netopia® CD to generate WEP keys for connecting wireless client computers.
