Manually Configuring Your Wireless Connection

Use this method to connect to your network if your router

does not support the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature

If you are manually configuring your WIP310 wireless

connection, you need to know the wireless security type

for your router The WIP310 works with the following

security types:

WEP

—Wired Equivalent Privacy With this type of

security, you need to enter a 64 or 128-bit key on the

phone (or a more easily remembered passphrase to

generate the key) The phone then authenticates with

your router to provide a secure connection
WPA

—Wi-Fi Protected Access With this type of

security, you need to enter a password on the phone

The phone then authenticates with your router to

provide a secure connection

Determining Your Wireless Router Security Type

If you do not know your wireless router security type,

you need to log in to the router interface to get this

information The steps below are written for a Linksys

router, but procedures for other routers should be similar

Log in to your wireless router’s web interface using

1

a web browser Your computer must be connected

to your wireless network Enter the IP address of the

wireless router in the browser toolbar
If required, enter the user name and password (By

2

default, Linksys routers typically use “admin” for the

user name and “admin” for the password )
View the Wireless tab or screen Note the network name

3

(SSID) and the type of security (WEP, WPA Personal, or

WPA2 Personal)
If your router is using WEP, note the following:

4

WEP encryption: 64 bit or 128 bit You need to choose

this later
Default transmit key, or TX key: The default key (of the

4) that the router transmits to authenticate This value

will be 1, 2, 3, or 4
Passphrase and keys: You choose one of two methods

to enter the WEP key You either directly enter the WEP

key, or enter a more simple passphrase to generate the

WEP key
If your router is using WPA, note the WPA shared key, or

passphrase that you need to enter later
