If you are manually configuring your WIP310 wireless connection, you need to know the wireless security type for your router. The WIP310 works with the following security types: •• WEP-Wired Equivalent Privacy. With this type of security, you need to enter a 64 or 128-bit key on the phone (or a more easily remembered passphrase to generate the key). The phone then authenticates with your router to provide a secure connection. •• WPA-Wi-Fi Protected Access. With this type of security, you need to enter a password on the phone. The phone then authenticates with your router to provide a secure connection. Determining Your Wireless Router Security Type If you do not know your wireless router security type, you need to log in to the router interface to get this information.

Your computer must be connected to your wireless network. Enter the IP address of the wireless router in the browser toolbar. 2. If required, enter the user name and password. (By default, Linksys routers typically use "admin" for the user name and "admin" for the password.) 3. View theWireless tab or screen. Note the network name (SSID) and the type of security (WEP, WPA Personal, or WPA2 Personal). 4. If your router is using WEP, note the following: •• WEP encryption: 64 bit or 128 bit. You need to choose this later. •• Default transmit key, or TX key: The default key (of the 4) that the router transmits to authenticate. This value will be 1, 2, 3, or 4. •• Passphrase and keys: You choose one of two methods to enter the WEP key. You either directly enter the WEP Wireless-G IP Phone Installing the WIP310 key, or enter a more simple passphrase to generate the WEP key.
