Configuration 4-7

• Wireless Network Name (SSID): The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the wireless

local area network.

Any (First available network) is the default WG121 wireless network name

(SSID). You may customize it using up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Write your customized

wireless network name (SSID) on the line below.

Note

: The SSID in the wireless access point is the SSID you configure in the wireless USB

adapter. For the access point and wireless nodes to communicate with each other, all must be

configured with the same SSID.

Wireless network name (SSID): ______________________________

• WEP Security Encryption key: The default WEP encryption key number is 1, and the default

key size is 64 bits.

Note: The key number as well as the key value used by all wireless nodes must be the same. If

they are different, you will not be able to connect.

WEP Encryption Key Size, circle one: 64 or 128 bits

WEP Encryption Passphrase, if used: ____________________________

A Passphrase is used to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal numbers for the key. If

the wireless network Access Point uses a Passphrase, you can also use that here. Otherwise,

you will have to manually enter the hexadecimal numbers.

WEP Hexadecimal Numbers: ______________________________

The WEP Hexadecimal Numbers are needed if a Passphrase is not used in the wireless

network access point, but rather if the key is manually entered.

Use the procedures below to configure basic security settings in the WG121.
