October 2004
Before You Change the SSID and WEP Settings
Take the following steps:
For a new wireless network, print or copy this form and fill in the configuration parameters. For an
existing wireless network, the person who set up or is responsible for the network will be able to
provide this information. Be sure to set the Regulatory Domain correctly as the first step.
• SSID: The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the wireless local area network.
Wireless is the default WG102 SSID. However, you may customize it by using up to 32
alphanumeric characters. Write your customized SSID on the line below.
Note: The SSID in the wireless access point is the SSID you configure in the wireless adapter
card. All wireless nodes in the same network must be configured with the same SSID:
• Authentication
Circle one: Open System or Shared Key. Choose “Shared Key” for more security.
Note: If you select shared key, the other devices in the network will not connect unless they
are set to Shared Key as well and have the same keys in the same positions as those in the
WG102.
• WEP Encryption Keys
For all four 802.11b keys, choose the Key Size. Circle one: 64 or 128 bits
Key 1: ___________________________________
Key 2: ___________________________________
Key 3: ___________________________________
Key 4: ___________________________________
• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

Server Name/IP Address: Primary _________________
Secondary __________________
