Configuring a Wireless Client for WEP
If you enabled WEP and set a key by configuring WEP on the SVG2500, you must
configure the same WEP key on each wireless client. The SVG2500 cannot
authenticate a client if:
• Shared Key Authentication is enabled on the SVG2500 but not on the client
• The client WEP key does not match the SVG2500 WEP key
For all wireless adapters, you must enter the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key generated by
the SVG2500.
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 SVG2500 and
the proper channel and data rate. If your card requires you to manually start scanning
for an access point, do so following 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 SVG2500.
