Section 2:Installation

Before You Begin

You need to collect information so that you can setup your WU830G correctly. Depending upon where you are connecting, the type of information required is divided between business (enterprise users) and home settings (small office/home office).

Also, you need to consider the type of security to enable for your wireless connection. A discussion of the types of security available follows this section.

Enterprise Business Users

Obtain the following information from your network administrator:

!Network names (SSID) of the specific wireless networks to which you are going to connect, either WPA or WEP:

!WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) wireless network key information (may include network authentication type, encryption type, and/or network key) for any WPA enabled networks to which you want to connect.

!WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) wireless network key information (network key) for any WEP enabled networks to which you want to connect.

!For Microsoft Windows® networking, the customer name and workgroup name.

!For a network account, the domain name, a user name, and a password.

!An IP address (if not using a DHCP server).

!Networks connected to an authentication server, if any.
