Connecting a Wireless Device
Use the following steps to connect a wireless device to the DDW365 (for example, a
laptop computer).
Default values are shown in the steps below. Some regions may change default values
using the DDW365 or XML configuration file.
Steps
To connect a wireless device to the DDW365:
1. Access the wireless networking menu on your wireless device. On a Windows
computer, for example, double-click the
Wireless Network Connection
icon in the
system tray (lower-right side of the Windows desktop).
2. Click
View Wireless Networks
. The device is shipped with a default SSID. The SSID
is the name of the wireless network broadcast from the device so that wireless clients
can connect to it.
Double-click your
SSID
in the wireless networks window. The default SSID
(subscriber-managed) = “DDW365” plus the last 2 characters of the MAC address
with the letters entered in UPPER case.
Example:
DDW3658C
Notes:
You can find the MAC address on the device label or by opening an Internet
browser window to the device. Refer to
Using the Software Option on page 16
for
instructions. If the subscriber changes the SSID, the device does not revert to this
default SSID upon any reset of the device, except in the case of a manual reset using
the device’s Web UI. See
Using the Account Option on page 20
.
When prompted, enter the network key, also called the pre-shared key. This is a
unique key for each device. The pre-shared key for the DDW365 is “DDW365” plus
the last 6 characters (3 octets) of the device’s MAC address, with letters entered in
UPPER case.
Refer to
Using the Primary Network Option on page 66
.
Example pre-shared key:
DDW3654B488C
If using WPS, enter the WPS personal identification number (PIN). The WPS PIN
is a randomly-generated number found on the Wireless Primary Network screen.
Refer to
Using the Primary Network Option on page 66
.
WPA-WPA2 + AES
is the default encryption method.
