20.4 Accessing Configuration Settings

(cont’d)

Wireless Configuration

The following fields will be displayed if

you select

Wireless

from the

Configuration

menu:

IMPORTANT:

If you are connecting

to

Verizon One

via a wireless network

adapter, the service set ID (SSID)

must be the same for both

Verizon One

and your PC’s wireless network adapter.

The default SSID for

Verizon One

is the

serial number of the unit (located

below the bar code on the bottom of

the Base Unit). Locate and run the utility

software provided with your PC’s

wireless network adapter and enter the

SSID value. The PC’s wireless network

adapter must be configured with the

SSID (in order to communicate with

Verizon One

) before you begin

Verizon

One’s

account set-up and configuration

procedures. For privacy, you may change

the Network Name (SSID) value in the

Wireless Configuration screen to your

desired value.

NOTE: Client PCs can use any Wireless

Fidelity (Wi-Fi) 802.11b/g/g+ certified card

to communicate with

Verizon One

. The

Wireless card and

Verizon One

must use

the same Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

security code type. The factory default for

WEP is DISABLED. If you enable WEP,

you must ensure the network setting for

your wireless adapter is set to “Must Use

Shared Key for WEP” or “Open Wi-Fi.” You

must ensure that your PC’s Wi-Fi adapter

is configured properly for whichever

network setting you use. You can access

the settings in the advanced properties of

the wireless network adapter.
