Installing Your Phone Connecting Your Phone to the Computer Network 2 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. The steps below are written for a Linksys router, but procedures for other routers should be similar. STEP 1 Log in to your wireless router's web interface using a web browser. Your computer must be connected to your wireless network. Enter the IP address of the wireless router in the browser toolbar. STEP 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.) STEP 3 View the Wireless tab or window. Note the network name (SSID) and the type of security (WEP, WPA Personal, or WPA2 Personal). 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 key, or enter a more simple passphrase to generate the WEP key. Cisco Small Business IP Phone SPA 525G/SPA 525G2 User Guide (SIP) 30

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. The steps below are written for a Linksys
router, but procedures for other routers should be similar.
STEP 1
Log in to your wireless router’s web interface using a web browser. Your computer
must be connected to your wireless network. Enter the IP address of the wireless
router in the browser toolbar.
STEP
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.)
STEP
3
View the Wireless tab or window. Note the network name (SSID) and the type of
security (WEP, WPA Personal, or WPA2 Personal).
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 key, or enter a more simple
passphrase to generate the WEP key.
