IMPORTANT:
1. If you are connecting to your Gateway via a wireless network adapter, the computer’s wireless network adapter
must be configured with your Gateway’s Service Set ID (SSID) in order to communicate with your Gateway; that
is, the SSID used in the wireless network adapter must be identical to your Gateway’s SSID. The default SSID
for your Gateway is the serial number of the unit (located below the bar code on the bottom of the unit and also
on the shipping carton). Locate and run the utility software provided with the wireless network adapter, and then
type the identical SSID and security settings displayed in your Gateway. For security purposes, it is
recommended that you later change the SSID to a new value of your choosing.
2. In order for every computer on your network to connect to the Gateway wirelessly, confirm that each computer is
using the same security settings you have configured in your Gateway. After you have configured all the settings
in this screen, please record the settings for future reference.
12.3.1 WEP Security
If you select WEP from the Wireless Security drop-down menu (Wireless > Security), the following screen will
appear. If you change the settings in this screen, click save and then OK. If you click reset or Cancel, the screen
will return to its previous settings.
IMPORTANT: WEP was the original security offered for Wi-Fi networks and uses an encryption algorithm that
has been compromised. WPA2 is the most robust security method available and is recommended if the wireless
stations support it. WPA is a good second choice. Whenever possible, use one of the WPA security types for your
wireless security operations. WEP should only be used when there are no other security choices available on the
connecting station.
Wireless
Security
Click this drop-down menu to select the wireless security option for your Gateway from a drop-
down menu. By default, the Gateway is set to WEP.
Disabled: Disables wireless security on the Gateway.
WPA: The Gateway uses enhanced encryption methods for privacy. A shared key is used
as a starting point. This key can then be regularly changed and rotated automatically so
that the same encryption key is never used twice.
WEP: The Gateway uses encryption based off a 64-, 128-, or 256-bit key for privacy.
