Unprotected Wireless Networks are
Accessible to Others! Always protect your
network against unauthorised access. You
can toggle between different encryption
standards.

Notice

WEP Key

With 64-bit encryption, the WEP key must
be either 5 characters (ASCII) or 10 num-
bers (hexadecimal). With 128-bit encryp-
tion, the WEP key must be either 13 char-
acters (ASCII) or 26 numbers (hexadeci-
mal). You can find the WEP key in the
network settings of your PC.

Notice

WPA Key

Enter an 8 to 63 character long password.
The password can contain alphanumerical
characters—numbers and letters—and
any other symbol available on the keypad.
The only invalid character is "€” (the euro
currency symbol).

Notice

This Process May Take a Few Mo-
ments.

The automatic configuration of IP address
and subnet mask on the connected net-
work PCs may take a moment.

Notice

IP-Address

The first three blocks of numbers refer to
the IP field; this information must match
the IP address on your computer. The last
three digits determine are the individual IP
address of the device. You can enter any
number between 000 and 255. However,
this number must be unique within the net-
work; it may not be used on any other PC
or network component.

Notice

Subnet Mask

In a network with a gateway or router, the
subnet mask indicates whether the respec-
tive data packets are addressed to an inter-
nal recipient in the network or whether
they should be sent to a recipient outside
of the network.
