Changing Settings
Though you can easily build and expand a wireless LAN area using the factory setup, you can also modify settings in
order to improve user friendliness, operability, and performance in cases like the ones described below.
When you want to set up security (the security is not set up when shipped from the factory)
When you want to use an SSID with the name of the shop or service ("KPWL-0300-******_G" or
"KPWL-0300-******_A" (the ****** are the last 6 digits of the MAC address) is set shipped from the factory)
When you want to separate the SSIDs for each access point (when you want separate SSIDs for the conference
rooms and offices, for example)
When there are other wireless LAN access points or wireless LAN routers in the building or on your floor
(interference may degrade performance)
When you want to separate networks (such as for employees and customers, for example)
In the above cases, you can easily change the settings by using the KPWL web setting screen.

Access the web setting screen, go to the "Access Point" tab > "Security" > "Authentication Method" and select
WEP or WPA-PSK, and then set a security key (encryption key or pre-shared key).
