Using the Configuration Menu
AP Name: You may choose to rename your Access Point, especially if you
have more than one Access Point on your network.
SSID: (Service Set Identifier) "default" is the default setting. The SSID
is a unique name that identifies a network. All devices on a network must
share the same SSID name in order to communicate on the network. If you
choose to change the SSID from the default setting, input your new SSID
name in this field. The SSID can be up to 32 characters in length.
Channel: Channel 6 is the default channel. Input a new number if you
want to change the default setting. All devices on the network must be set to
the same channel to communicate on the network.
WEP Encryption: Select Enable Encryption to use WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy) on the network. All devices on the network, and the Access Point,
must share the same WEP selection – either Enable or Disable, and they
must share the same WEP key. The WEP key is generated from ASCII or
Hexadecimal entries that are either 64, 128, or 256 bit in length. When
enabling encryption, select the Key Type (ASCII or Hexadecimal) and then
input the appropriate digits or letters. You can create up to 4 keys. Select
the key you wish to use.
Hexadecimal digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code
for representing English letters as numbers from 0-127
