zHint

The “Available Wireless Networks” list shows the names of Access Points within communication range of the computer. When using the Wireless LAN Access Point PCWA-A320, the default Network Name (SSID) of the Access Point is shown on the ID label of the card. For details on the position of the label and other information, refer to the manuals of the Access Point. Because the Network Name of an Access Point may have been changed, consult your network administrator if you are not sure.

4 If Data Encryption (WEP) is enabled for the Access Point, enter the encryption key (WEP key) in the “Network key” field.

The key entered here must be exactly the same as that set for the Access Point. Permissible characters and their maximum number are detailed below.
