Wireless Configuration

The following fields will be displayed if you select Wireless from the Configuration menu:

IMPORTANT: If you are connecting to Verizon One via a wireless network adapter, the service set ID (SSID) must be the same for both Verizon One and your PC’s wireless network adapter. The default SSID for Verizon One is the serial number of the unit (located below the bar code on the bottom of the Base Unit). Locate and run the utility software provided with your PC’s wireless network adapter and enter the SSID value. The PC’s wireless network adapter must be configured with the

SSID (in order to communicate with Verizon One) before you begin Verizon One’s account set-up and configuration procedures. For privacy, you may change the Network Name (SSID) value in the Wireless Configuration screen to your desired value.

NOTE: Client PCs can use any Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) 802.11b/g/g+ certified card to communicate with Verizon One. The Wireless card and Verizon One must use the same Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security code type. The factory default for WEP is DISABLED. If you enable WEP, you must ensure the network setting for your wireless adapter is set to “Must Use Shared Key for WEP” or “Open Wi-Fi.” You must ensure that your PC’s Wi-Fi adapter is configured properly for whichever network setting you use. You can access the settings in the advanced properties of the wireless network adapter.
