Instant Wireless ® Series
• Mode. Select Mixed and both Wireless-G and Wireless-B computers will
be allowed on the network, but the speed will be reduced. Select G-Only
for maximum speed, but no Wireless-B users will be allowed on the net-
work.
• Authentication - The default setting is Open. The choices are Open and
Shared.
This setting allows the Game Adapter to authenticate communication with
the wireless devices in your network. With the Shared Key setting, all wire-
less devices must have the same WEP keys so that the Game Adapter and
the client can authenticate each other and start transmitting data. With the
Open System setting, any device can join a network without performing any
security check.
• Cloning Mode - You can clone the MAC address of any network device
onto the Game Adapter. To disable MAC address cloning, select Disable.
The default setting, Automatic, enables the use of the MAC cloning feature.
If you have enabled MAC cloning, then select Auto if you want to clone the
MAC address of the device currently connected to the Game Adapter’s
LAN port. The Game Adapter will actively scan for a new MAC address to
be cloned whenever you disconnect and re-connect the Game Adapter
through its LAN port.
• Administrative Password - You should always change the password from
that set by the factory, which is admin. All users who try to access the
Game Adapter’s Web-based Utility will be prompted for the Game
Adapter’s Password. The new Password must not exceed 12 characters in
length and must not include any spaces. Enter the new Password a second
time to confirm it.
• Restore Factory Defaults - Click the Yes radio button to reset all configu-
ration settings to their default values. If you do not want to restore the fac-
tory defaults, then keep the default setting, No.
Click the Apply button to save your changes. If your page doesn’t automati-
cally refresh itself, then click the web browser’s Refresh button. Click the
