Troubleshooting
Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security on
an Ativa client card (Wireless Network Card or Adapter).
Solution:
The client card must use the same key as the Wireless G Router or access
point. For instance, if your Wireless Router or access point uses the key
00112233445566778899AABBCC, then the client card must be set to the
exact same key.
1. Double-click the “Signal Indicator” icon to bring up the “Wireless
Network Utility” screen. The “Advanced” button will allow you to view
and configure more options of your client card.
2. Once the “Advanced” button is clicked, the Ativa Wireless LAN Utility
will appear. This Utility will allow you to manage all the advanced
features of the Ativa client card.
3. Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a network name
from the “Available Networks” list and click the “Properties” button.
4. Under “Data Encryption”, select “WEP”.
5. Ensure the box “The key is provided for me automatically” at the bottom
is unchecked. If you are using this computer to connect to a corporate
network, please consult your network administrator if this box needs to
be checked.
7. Type your WEP key in the “Network key” box.
Important: A WEP key is a combination of numbers and letters from A-F
and 0-9. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 keys. This network key
needs to match the key you assign to your Wireless G Router or access
point.
For example:
C3 03 0F AF 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 E4 = 128-bit key
8. Click “OK”, and then “Apply” to save the settings.
If you are NOT using an Ativa wireless client card, please consult the
manufacturer’s user manual for that wireless client card.
