Operation Manual

NOXON
6.3 Setting up the wireless connection on the NOXON
Using the button on the remote control, go to the configuration menu, and then call up the wizard for
network configuration.
Just a reminder: During the course of the configuration, confirm your entries by pressing the right navigation
button on the remote control or on the device, or press the left button to cancel or correct your entries. Use
the same buttons to move the cursor in data entry situations. Use the number keys 1-9 for entering charac-
ters, the 1 key (pressed more than once) to enter periods, and the 0 for spaces. Also, for switching between
uppercase and lowercase, use the “+” key, use the “up/down” keys to scroll through characters, and use
the “skip left/back” key to delete a character that you've entered by mistake. (See page 14.)
While still in its factory default state, the NOXON will start the configu-
ration wizard to complete the integration in your network.
The names of the receivable access points (routers) and existing ad
hoc networks are shown here.
If you know of a name that should be on the list but is missing, start by
checking the distance to the router or computer. Go ahead and place
the NOXON right next to it to eliminate distance as a possible source of
errors.
Also, SSID broadcasting may be disabled on the router, in which case
it will not be visible on the list. If that's the case, select “Edit Network
SSID” and enter the name manually. See also p. 19!
When selecting a network protected by WEP/WPA/WPA2 encryption,
you will be prompted to enter the appropriate key. The person who set
up your network should know this key. The information in parentheses
in the top line does not appear until the number of characters you have
entered corresponds to a valid key.
If you are using WPA encryption in your network, the screen will be the same except for the title bar; in
that case you can use a string of characters containing at least eight letters. While a technically skilled per-
son with the proper equipment can crack this encryption, WPA is clearly more secure than WEP. Unfortu-
nately, older wireless network equipment frequently does not support it. If your router supports WPA 2, you
can update the firmware of older NOXONs—firmware updates available for download on the TerraTec Sup-
port website—to make them compatible with this security protocol.
From here on, the configuration steps are the same as those described in “Scenario 1 – the wired
network integration” on page 20, starting with item 2. For the sake of brevity, please continue at
that point!
