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 possible future
reference. For an existing wireless network, the person who set up the network will be able to
provide this information.
•
Wireless Network Name (SSID): The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the wireless
local area network. NETGEAR is the default WG511 wireless network name (SSID). You
may customize it by using up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Write your customized wireless
network name (SSID) on the line below.
Note
The SSID in the wireless access point is the SSID you configure in the wireless pc card.
:
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 key value used by all 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 Encryption Passphrase, if used: ____________________________
A Passphrase is used to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal numbers for the key. If
the wireless network Access Point uses a Passphrase, you can also use that here. Otherwise,
you will have to manually enter the hexadecimal numbers.
WEP Hexadecimal Numbers: ______________________________
The WEP Hexadecimal Numbers are needed if a Passphrase is not used in the wireless
network access point but rather if the key is manually entered.
Use the procedures below to configure basic security settings in the WG511.
