Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX400
Setting Up the Adapter with an Available Network
The available networks are listed in the table on the center of the screen by SSID. Select the wireless network
you wish to connect to and click the Connect button. (If you do not see your network listed, you can click the
Refresh button to bring the list up again.) If the network utilizes wireless security, you will need to configure
security on the Adapter. If not, you will be taken directly to the Congratulations screen.
1. If wireless security has been enabled on this network, you will see a wireless security screen. If your network
uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption, the WEP Key Needed for Connection screen will appear. If
your network uses WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal security, a screen will appear for one of those encryption
methods.
WEP Key Needed for Connection
Select the level of encryption you want to use, 64-bit or 128-bit.
Then, enter a passphrase or WEP key.
Passphrase - Enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so a WEP key is automatically generated. The
passphrase is case-sensitive and should not be longer than 31 alphanumeric characters. It must match the
passphrase of your other wireless network devices and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (If
you have any non-Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually on those products.)
WEP Key 1 - The WEP key you enter must match the WEP key of your wireless network. For 64-bit
encryption, enter exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. For 128-bit encryption, enter exactly 26 hexadecimal
characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are "0" to "9" and "A" to "F".
Then, click Connect and proceed to the Congratulations screen. To cancel the connection, click Cancel.
