Note 

− If you do not do "save and exit" and cycle power on the WiBox, all settings will be lost and you will need to 

repeat these steps. 

After you save the parameters, the WiBox will attempt to access the wireless network. This may take several 
seconds. You can watch the LED on the WiBox labeled 

Wireless Link

. If everything has been set correctly, the 

LED will blink rapidly several times and then turn off. This indicates that the WiBox has successfully accessed 
the wireless network.
