A wireless LAN can be as simple as two wireless devices communicating in a peer-to-peer 
network or as complex as a number of wireless devices communicating through access points 
which bridge network traffic to the wired LAN. 

Note: See the WLAN appendix for more detailed information on WLANs.

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access 
points to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast 
communications in a network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the 
same WEP key. 

You need to configure four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key can be enabled at any 
one time. 

In order to configure and enable WEP encryption; click Wireless LAN and Wireless to the 
display the Wireless screen.

When you turn the Prestige on, it searches for available wireless LAN Access Points (APs). It 
selects the AP with the best signal and restarts and attempts to connect to it. 

Click Wireless to open the following screen if you want to enter a WEP key or manually 
specify other wireless settings.

Note: Your wireless LAN settings changes do not take affect until you use RESTART 

(in the navigation panel).

Note: Changing the wireless settings (especially the SSID or WEP settings) may 

disconnect your web configurator session since you connect wirelessly to the 
web configurator.
