with security, how-
ever, you can set the
same Keyphrase on
two Game Adapters
to utilize WEP. The Keyphrase is case-sensitive and should have nine or
fewer alphanumeric characters. It must match the Keyphrase of your wire-
less network and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only.

Note:
If your wireless network uses WEP encryption and/or has
SSID disabled, the Game Adapter should be configured with its
Setup Wizard to use one of the three available profiles. Profiles
show up on the LED display as “P1”, “P2”, or “P3”. Once the
Game Adapter is configured with its Setup Wizard, select the
appropriate profile from the LED display.
Setup for Head-to-Head play or with a simple wireless connection
is described in “Chapter 4: Simple Setup”.
