Configuring PPP Profile Settings

• Profile Name: Enter a profile name when the text box is empty.

• Dial-up Number/PPP User Name/PPP Password: Enter these three parameters provided by the internet service provider (ISP). The dial-up number is used to initiate the network call; the PPP user name and PPP password is used to obtain the service authorization provided by the ISP.

• APN/IP Address: Select the mode for obtaining the access point name (APN) and IP address. If the carrier provides the relevant parameters, select Static and enter their values. Otherwise, select Dynamic and the device automatically obtains them.

Configuring PPP Dial-up Settings

PPP Connection: Select the dial-up access mode.

• Auto: The device automatically connects to the Internet and does not disconnect when no data is transmitted.

Quick Setup

• On Demand: The device automatically connects to the Internet when data transmission exists. When the duration of no data transmission exceeds the maximum idle time, the device disconnects the Internet connection.

• Manual: The device connects to the Internet after you click Connect on the connection page. For details, see "Accessing the Internet."

PPP Authentication: This service is provided by your ISP. For details, consult your ISP.

Configuring WLAN Settings

(Name) SSID: Enter a name for your wireless local

area network (WLAN).

• The service set identifier (SSID) is used to identify a WLAN. A PC and the wireless device can perform normal data communication only when they have the same SSIDs. To ensure the WLAN security, do not use the default SSID. You can enter a character string as the SSID, such as MyHome.

SSID Broadcast: Enable or disable the SSID broadcast.

• Enabled: The device broadcasts the SSID of the WLAN and users can easily access the WLAN. In this case, unauthorized users can also access the WLAN because the SSID is broadcasted.

• Disabled: The device does not broadcast the SSID of the WLAN. Before accessing the WLAN, a user must

obtain the SSID of the WLAN. In this case, the WLAN security is improved.

For the convenience of users accessing the

Note

WLAN, you can select Enabled for SSID Broadcast when you configure the WLAN setting. After the setting, you can select

Disable to improve the WLAN security.

Configuring the WLAN Encryption

To access the WLAN, you must set the wireless security key on your PC to be the same as that of the wireless device.

No Encryption

• For the convenience of users accessing th e WLAN, yo u can select NO ENCRYPTION for the Encryption mode when you set up a WLAN. It is not recommended to select this option in daily use.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

• WPA-PSK: It is a 256-bit data encryption method that can automatically change the key.

• WPA2-PSK: It is a more secure version of WPA-PSK and it supports the IEEE 802.11 standard.

• WPA Encryption Algorithm: TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES.

• WPA Pre-Shared Key: You can enter a 64-character hexadecimal value or 8-63-character ASCII value as

the key. The ASCII value contains all characters that can be entered through the PC keyboard, and the hexadecimal value contains numbers of 0-9 and characters of A-F. For example, you can enter the ASCII value of 1234abcde as the key.

• Network Key Rotation Interval: It is used to set how long a network key is dynamically changed. By default, it is 0. To disable this function, you can set the value to 0 or null.

WEP

• Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WE P) is a 64- bit or 1 28-bit data encryption method. The 128-bit WEP encryption provides higher security level.

• Network key 1: You can enter 5 ASCII characters or 10-character hexadecimal numeral to form a 64-bit key. You can also enter 13 ASCII characters or 26-char acter hexadecimal numeral to form a 128-bit key.
