DECTnetIP Configuration General Settings ■ Select the desired WLAN Profile and activate the Profile Active option. ■ Enter a SSID (Service Set Identifier, wireless network identification) to identify a network. This network identification is transmitted at regular intervals, making it easier to find the networks you're looking for, using the "View available wireless networks" function in Windows XP, for example. ■ For standard operation you should leave the following settings at their default values: VLAN Tag at 0 (Off ), Beacon Period at 100 ms, DTIM Period at 5, RTS Threshold at 2347 (Off ), Fragmentation Threshold at 2346 (Off ), Maximum Bitrate at 54 MBit/s, 802.11b/g Mode at "Mixed" and Interference Avoidance on "Off". Tip: If you are using only modern WLAN cards with 802.11g, you can further speed up data transfer by configuring the setting 802.11b/g Mode to "802.11g only". ■ You can prevent the transmission of wireless network identification (SSID) with the Hidden SSID Mode setting. This will however make network identification difficult and does not generally increase data security, so it is preferable to leave this on the default setting of "Off". Security Settings On no account should you use Open System or Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) settings, whether out of convenience or in order to avoid configuration problems, unless of course you want to start up an Internet Cafe! ■ Activate the Wifi Protected Access (WPA) option. ■ Under Type select the "WPA v.1"setting. If you are running the Microsoft Windows XP operating system from ServicePack2 or higher on your computer, you can use the "WPA v.2" setting. ■ For standard operation select the Pre-Shared Key option. Enter a password in the Value input field and leave it set to Text. Use a password with the following characteristics: - No words or names that can be found in a dictionary - At least 8 characters long 140
