Configure Wireless Network Key parameters (Net-
work Authentication and Encryption).
a. Choose the Network Authentication method
appropriate for your wireless LAN. Options
include Open, Shared, WPA, and WPA-PSK.
Ad Hoc Networks
: Network Authentication
settings must be identical for all computers in
the Ad Hoc network.
Access Point (Infrastructure Networks):
Network Authentication setting must be config-
ured to match the setting of the Access Point(s).
Please contact your network administrator for
this information.
b. Choose the Encryption method appropriate for
your wireless LAN. Options for Open or Shared
Authentication are None or WEP. Options for
WPA or WPA-PSK are WEP or TKIP.
c. If using static WEP keys, clear the check mark
from the [The key is provided for me automati-
cally] check box. If using an authentication
method that uses dynamic WEP (e.g., WPA,
WPA-PSK, 802.1x/EAP), the check box should
remain checked. Please contact your network
administrator for the correct settings.
d. Static WEP keys (if applicable) are entered in the
[Network Key] box. Configuration of the
[Network Key] is not required if the [The key is
provided for me automatically] check box is
checked.
■
Static WEP keys entered in ASCII code
format will be either five characters (40-bit)
or thirteen characters (104-bit) in length.
Valid characters are 0 - 9, A - Z.
■
Static WEP keys entered in hexadecimal
code format will be either ten characters
(40-bit) or twenty-six characters (104-bit)
in length. Valid characters are 0 - 9, A - F.
Ad Hoc Networks:
Assign the same net-work
key to all the personal computers to be
connected.
Access Point (Infrastructure) Networks:
Assign the identical network key that is
programmed into the access point. Please
contact your network administrator for this
information.
e. If using static WEP keys, confirm the Network
key by re-entering the same data in the [Confirm
network key:] field.
f. The Key index used must be identical to the
transmit key used in the Access Point or other
wireless device. This is only applicable when
static WEP keys are used. Please contact your
network administrator for this information.

Access Point (Infrastructure) Networks Only
: If
the wireless network you are establishing connec-
tivity to implements an access control security
mechanism, configuration of 802.1x parameters
