Wireless Station Configuration

This section applies to all Wireless stations wishing to use the ADW-4302v2's Access Point, regardless of the operating system which is used on the client.

To use the Wireless Access Point in the ADW-4302v2, each Wireless Station must have compatible settings, as follows:

Mode

The mode must be set to Infrastructure (rather than Ad-hoc)

 

Access points only operate in Infrastructure mode.

 

 

SSID (ESSID)

This must match the value used on the ADW-4302v2. The default

 

value is Wireless.

 

Note! The SSID is case sensitive.

 

 

Wireless

By default, Wireless security on the ADW-4302v2 is disabled.

Security

• If Wireless security remains disabled on the ADW-4302v2, all

 

stations must have wireless security disabled.

 

• If Wireless security is enabled on the Wireless Router (either

 

WEP or WPA-PSK), each station must use the same settings

 

as the ADW-4302v2.
