U.S. Robotics recommends any one or both of the following two methods:
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
Your USR5430 supports 64-bit and 128-bit WEP security. If available on your wireless router, we
recommend you enable the higher bit security. When you enable WEP, it uses a key to encrypt the
data and this specifically formatted data can only be understood by another wireless device that
knows of this key. Since both ends use the same key, any users who do not know the key cannot
connect to your network and use your Internet connection.
MAC Address filtering
Many wireless routers provide a mechanism for creating a list of devices that can participate in
your wireless network. Refer to your wireless router or access point's documentation to learn if
MAC Address filtering is supported.
Enabling security on your USR5430
Enabling WEP.
After you have obtained your network name (SSID configured on your wireless router or access
point and its security settings), you can use the Security menu located on the Web User Interface
pages to program your USR5430 for WEP security.
If you select WEP, you have the option to enforce Shared Key Authentication (Forced) or let the
USR5430 send it only when a wireless router requests it (Open System).
It is important that you match the Network Keys with those of your wireless routers. If you have
multiple Network Keys, you can enter up to four keys. Note: Network Keys are case sensitive.
When entering a Network Key, be sure you insert the key exactly as it appears in your wireless
router or access point.
Wireless MAC Filtering
You can use MAC Address filtering to connect only to a specific wireless router or access point.
You can add the MAC Address of your wireless router or access point and change the "Wireless
MAC address filtering" field to Allow. In doing so, your USR5430 will only "talk" to your wireless
router or access point and cannot be accessed by other devices.
