Identifying the Wireless Network Name (SSID) and
WEP Security Settings

Print this form, fill in the configuration parameters, and put it in a safe place for
future reference. For an existing wireless network, fill in the configuration
parameters. The person who set up or is responsible for the network will be able to
provide this information.

Wireless Network Name (SSID): The Service Set Identification (SSID)
identifies the wireless local area network. Wireless is the default MA101
SSID. However, you may customize it by using up to 32 alphanumeric
characters. Netgear recommends that you write your customized SSID on the
line below.

Note

:

The SSID in the wireless Access Point is the SSID you configure in the

wireless USB adapter. For the access point and wireless nodes to
communicate with each other, all must be configured with the same SSID.

Wireless network name (SSID): ______________________________

WEP Security Encryption key: The default WEP encryption key number is 1,
and the default key size is 64 bits.

Note: The key number as well as the authentication method used by both the
Wireless Access Point and wireless nodes must be the same. If they are
different, you will not be able to connect.

WEP Encryption Key Size, circle one: 64 or 128 bits

WEP Hexadecimal Numbers: ______________________________

The WEP Hexadecimal Numbers must be manually entered. Also, the
wireless network access point should be configured to authenticate in Shared
Key mode. That is, both the access point and the wireless device such as the
MA101 have been set up with the same authentication scheme and the same
key(s).
