Installing a Wireless Client for WPA
If you enabled WPA and set a PSK Passphrase by configuring WPA on the SVG1501, you
must configure the same passphrase (key) on each wireless client. The SVG1501 cannot
authenticate a client if:
•
WPA is enabled on the SVG1501 but not on the client
•
The client passphrase does not match the SVG1501 PSK Passphrase
CAUTION: Never provide the PSK Passphrase to anyone who is not
authorized to use your WLAN.
Configuring a Wireless Client for WEP
If you enabled WEP and set a key by configuring WEP on the SVG1501, you must
configure the same WEP key on each wireless client. The SVG1501 cannot authenticate
a client if:
•
Shared Key Authentication is enabled on the SVG1501 but not on the client
•
The client WEP key does not match the SVG1501 WEP key
For all wireless adapters, you must enter the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key generated by the
SVG1501.
CAUTION: Never provide the WEP key to anyone who is not authorized
to use your WLAN.
Configuring a Wireless Client with the Network Name
(SSID)
After you specify the network name on the Wireless Basic Page, many wireless cards or
adapters automatically scan for an access point, such as the SVG1501 and the proper
channel and data rate. If your card requires you to manually start scanning for an access
point, follow the instructions in the documentation supplied with the card. You must
enter the same SSID in the wireless configuration setup for the device to communicate
with the SVG1501.
