SMC Networks 802.11g manual Advanced Configuration Management, Method 1 Using the Remote Control

User Guide

Advanced Configuration Management

There are two ways to change the setup of the SMCWAA-G. You can use the Remote Control and the LCD display or you can use the SMCWAA-G PC Utility running on any PC that can communicate with the SMCWAA-G.

Note: The menu tree structures for the Remote Control method are shown on pages 23 and 24.

With just five exceptions, all configuration settings can be changed by either method. The exceptions are:

1.Selecting a Language (Remote Control only)

2.Setting Date & Time information and formats (Remote Control only)

3.Changing Internet Radio list settings (Remote Control only) and

4.Uploading new firmware (SMCWAA-G PC Utility only).

5.Changing the name of a Profile (SMCWAA-G PC Utility only).

Note: The SMCWAA-G PC Utility cannot be used until the SMCWAA-G has been set up, using the Remote Control, as described in Configuring the SMCWAA-G on page 10.

Simple tasks, not requiring much editing of text or numbers, can easily be done with the remote control, but the SMCWAA-G PC Utility is better for editing text and numbers, as it uses the PC’s keyboard and screen.

Method 1: Using the Remote Control

To enter Configuration Mode, press the SYSTEM key () on the remote control to display the Configuration Menu, which contains some or all of the following items, depending on settings:

Select Language

Scroll up/down to the Select Language item, and select it. Scroll up/down to highlight your language, then select it. All future screen messages will then be displayed in that language. Note: The display language cannot be set by the SMCWAA-G PC Utility.

Advanced Settings

This menu contains three items:

PROFILE MANAGEMENT

If this item is followed by an asterisk in brackets, [*], Profile Management is enabled. If there is a blank space between the brackets, [ ], it is disabled.

To change, select the Profile Management menu , select Enabled or Disabled as required, then return to the Advanced Settings menu by pressing .

KEY MANAGEMENT

This operates in the same way as Profile Management, and must be enabled if more than one Encryption Key is needed.

Note: Key Management is always available when using the SMCWAA-G PC Utility.

EDIT DEVICE NAME

The default name is SMCWAA-G.If Profile Management is enabled, you can enter your own names for any of the three available profiles, initially called Profile1, Profile 2 & Profile 3. Select Edit Device Name, then select Change from the next

menu. Edit the name, press O K , then return to the Advanced Settings menu (i.e. press ).

Note: The device name can also be changed using the SMCWAA-G PC Utility (see Editing a Network Profile on page 18).
