Information to Gather Before Changing Basic Wireless Settings

Before customizing your wireless settings, print this form and record the following information. If

you are working with an existing wireless network, the person who set up or is responsible for the

network will be able to provide this information. Otherwise, you will choose the settings for your

wireless network. Either way, record the settings for your wireless network in the spaces below.

• Wireless Network Name (SSID): ______________________________

The SSID, identifies

the wireless network. You can use up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The SSID is case

sensitive. The SSID in the wireless adapter card must match the SSID of the wireless router. In

some configuration utilities (such as in Windows XP), the term “wireless network name” is

used instead of SSID.

• If WEP Authentication is Used. Circle one: Open System, Shared Key, or Auto.

Note: If you select Shared Key, the other devices in the network will not connect unless they

are set to Shared Key as well and are configured with the correct key.

– WEP Encryption key size. Choose one: 64-bit or 128-bit. Again, the encryption key size

must be the same for the wireless adapters and the wireless router.

– Data Encryption (WEP) Keys. There are two methods for creating WEP data encryption

keys. Whichever method you use, record the key values in the spaces below.

• Passphrase method. ______________________________

These characters are case

sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable characters and click the Generate Keys

button. Not all wireless devices support the passphrase method.

• Manual method. These values are not case sensitive. For 64-bit WEP, enter 10 hex

digits (any combination of 0-9 or a-f). For 128-bit WEP, enter 26 hex digits.

Key 1: ___________________________________

Key 2: ___________________________________

Key 3: ___________________________________

Key 4: ___________________________________

• If WPA-PSK Authentication is Used.

– Passphrase: ______________________________

These characters are case sensitive.

Enter a word or group of printable characters. When you use WPA-PSK, the other devices

in the network will not connect unless they are set to WPA-PSK as well and are configured

with the correct Passphrase.

Use the procedures described in the following sections to configure the WGR614 v5. Store this

information in a safe place.
