appropriate access and log-on rights. Contact your corporate IT support function to arrange access
and request the following information:
•
Network names (SSID) of the specific wireless networks to connect to.
•
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) wireless network key information (may include network
authentication type, encryption type, network key) for any WPA-enabled networks you want
to connect to.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) wireless network key information (network key) for any
WEP-enabled networks you want to connect to.
•
An IP address (if not using a DHCP server).
•
Networks connected to an authentication server, if any.
Note:
If you require access to a network account, you will also require the accounts domain name,
a user name and a password.
In order to use your GC89 as a wireless LAN adapter with a small office or home network, you must
have the appropriate access and log-on rights. The Access Point that communicates with the GC89
has a predefined name (SSID) that your computer recognizes upon startup.
•
If you are connecting to an existing WEP-enabled network, obtain the network key from the
AP (access point) installer.

Protected Access) wireless network key information (network authentication type,
