9.7.1 Wireless LAN Setup Using Windows® Connect Now
Windows® Connect Now lets you save your computer’s wireless settings to a USB memory
stick. Then you can connect the USB stick to the DMA to configure the DMA’s wireless
settings. This allows you to easily set up a wireless LAN. To take advantage of this feature,
you need:
• A USB memory stick with at least 300K of available memory.
• Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2).
Follow the steps below to set up a wireless LAN using Windows® Connect Now. You do not
need to connect the USB stick to the computer yet, you will be prompted to do so later.
1 Click Start > Control Panel
and double-click Wireless
Network Setup Wizard.
Cryptography Key The DMA uses a WEP key to encrypt data. All the devices on the wireless LAN
must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
Your DMA allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys. Only one
key is used as the default key at any one time. The default key is key 1. Use the
(smaller) field on the left to select a key to configure and then select the (larger)
field on the right and use the on-screen keyboard screen (see
) to enter the key.
A key can be 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") if
your network is using 64 bit WEP.
A key can be 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") if
your network is using 128 bit WEP.
Note: The values for the WEP keys must be set up exactly the
same on all wireless devices in the same wireless LAN.
Note: ASCII WEP keys are case sensitive.
