12.16 Wireless Introduction
A wireless LAN can be as simple as two wireless devices communicating in a peer-to-peer
network or as complex as a number of wireless devices communicating through access points
which bridge network traffic to the wired LAN.
Note: See the WLAN appendix for more detailed information on WLANs.
12.16.1 WEP Encryption
WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access
points to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast
communications in a network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the
same WEP key.
You need to configure four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key can be enabled at any
one time.
In order to configure and enable WEP encryption; click Wireless LAN and Wireless to the
display the Wireless screen.
12.17 Wireless Settings
When you turn the Prestige on, it searches for available wireless LAN Access Points (APs). It
selects the AP with the best signal and restarts and attempts to connect to it.
Click Wireless to open the following screen if you want to enter a WEP key or manually
specify other wireless settings.
Note: Your wireless LAN settings changes do not take affect until you use RESTART
(in the navigation panel).
Note: Changing the wireless settings (especially the SSID or WEP settings) may
disconnect your web configurator session since you connect wirelessly to the
web configurator.
