Configuring your Belkin Wireless Card to Use Security
At this point, you should already have your wireless router (or access
point) set to use WPA or WEP (see “Securing Your Wi-Fi Network” section
of this manual). In order for you to gain wireless connection, you will
need to set your Card to use the same security settings.
Connecting to a Wireless Network using 64-Bit or 128-Bit WEP:
To enable the security settings for the Card, you must select a network
from the “Available Networks” tab or a profile from the “Profiles” tab and
follow steps 1-3 of “Setting up Wireless Network Profiles” on page 18
before continuing.
Step 1 – Select either “Open
System” or “Shared Key” from the
“Authentication Mode” drop-down
box. Most networks with WEP use
“Open System” key type.
Step 2 – Next, depending on the WEP
security settings the router (or access
point) you are connecting to may be
using, select “64 bits” or “128 bits”
from the “Encryption” drop-down box
and click “Next” to continue.
