Configuring the Wireless Access Point
Configure the security settings
The network security settings on the computers (or other devices) on the network must match the security settings on the MP modem. Configure the security settings on the MP modem and then set the security settings on the computers on the network to match.
The MP modem offers the following security modes:
•Open (no security)
•WPA (Wireless Protected
•
•Open WEP (Wired Equivalent
•Shared WEP
By default, security is set to open (no security).
To select a security option:
1.Unlock the MP modem configuration. In Watcher, select
Tools > Options > Wireless Access Point > Password > Current and enter the current password. (The default password is
MP3G.)
2.Select Tools > Options > MP > Wireless Access Point.
3.Under Security, select the Security / Encryption Type field and from the drop‐down list, select the desired security mode.
4.If desired, set the security key.
a.Under Security, select the Set New Network Key field and from the drop‐down menu, select Yes.
b.In the New Network Key field, type the desired key. For WPA and WAP2, enter a string of 8 to 64 ASCII characters (Example: abcdefghij). For WEP, enter a string of 10 ASCII characters or 26 hex characters (Example: abcdefghij or 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789).
5.If you want to change more settings, proceed to the appro‐ priate sections. Otherwise click OK to automatically reset the modem.
