Prestige 650 Series User’s Guide

5.3Data Encryption with WEP

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access points to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key for data encryption and decryption.

Your Prestige allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key can be enabled at any one time.

5.4Inserting a PCMCIA Wireless LAN Card

Use a ZyAIR series wireless LAN PCMCIA card to add wireless LAN capabilities. Step 1. Turn off the Prestige.

Never insert or remove a wireless LAN card when the Prestige is turned on.

Step 2. Locate the slot labeled Wireless LAN on the Prestige.

Step 3. With its pin connector facing the slot and the LED side facing upwards, slide the ZyAIR wireless LAN card into the slot.

Never force, bend or twist the wireless LAN card into the slot.

Step 4. Turn on the Prestige. The WLAN LED should turn on.

5.5Configuring Wireless LAN

If you are configuring the Prestige from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the Prestige’s ESSID or WEP settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the Prestige’s new settings.

Click Wireless LAN, Wireless to open the Wireless screen.
