Wireless Station Configuration • This section applies to all Wireless stations wishing to use the Wireless Device's Access Point, regardless of the operating system that is used on the client. • To use the Wireless Station with Wireless Device, each Wireless Station must have compatible settings, as follows: Mode The mode must be set to Infrastructure. SSID (ESSID) This must match the value used on the Wireless Device. The default value is Untitled. Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
Appendix A: Troubleshooting A Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless Device and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless Device still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Solution 1: Can't connect to the Wireless Device to configure it.
• Only one (1) PC can use this feature. Wireless Access Problem 1: Solution 1: Problem 2: Solution 2: My PC can't locate the Wireless Device. Check the following: • Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure Mode.) • The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Device are the same. Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example "Workgroup" does NOT match "workgroup". • Both your PC and the Wireless Device must have the same setting for security.
Appendix B: About Wireless LANs B BSS BSS A group of Wireless Stations and a single Access Point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a Basic Service Set (BSS). Using the same SSID is essential. Devices with different SSIDs are unable to communicate with each other. Channels The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. • Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used.
This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data that is transmitted by your Wireless Stations. But if the data is encrypted, then it is meaningless unless the receiver can decrypt it. If WEP is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the following: WEP Key WEP Authentication Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit. For 64 Bit encryption, the Key value must match. For 128 Bit encryption, the Key value must match.
WPA WPA2 (AES) WPA2 Mixed WPA (TKIP/AES)/ WPA2 (AES)/ WPA2 Mixed: If one of these securities is enabled on the Wireless Device, each station must use the same settings as the Wireless Device. If there is no security is enabled on the Wireless Device, the security of each station should be disabled as well.
