Configuring a Wireless Client for WPA
If you enabled WPA and set a PSK Passphrase by “
Configuring WPA on the VT2500
”, you must configure the
same passphrase (key) on each wireless client. The
VT2500
cannot authenticate a client if:
•
WPA is enabled on the
VT2500
but not on the client
•
The client passphrase does not match the
VT2500
PSK Passphrase

,
you must configure the same WEP key on each wireless client. The
VT2500
cannot authenticate a client if:
•
Shared Key Authentication is enabled on the
VT2500
but not on the client
•
The client WEP key does not match the
VT2500
WEP key
On a WLAN client equipped with a Motorola wireless adapter, you can enter the WEP Passphrase you set when
you configured the
VT2500
. For all other wireless adapters, you must enter the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key
generated by the
VT2500
.
Configuring a Wireless Client with the Network Name (ESSID)
To distinguish it from other nearby WLANs, you should identify your WLAN with a unique network name (also
known as a network identifier or ESSID). As you configure a wireless client, you will be prompted for the network
identifier, network name, or ESSID; type the same
name
that appears in the ESSID field on the
Wireless >
NETWORK
page in the
VT2500
Setup Program (see
Wireless > NETWORK
for details). If the network name is
not configured yet, see “
Configuring the Wireless Network Name on the VT2500
” to configure it.
After you specify the network name, many wireless cards or adapters automatically scan for an access point such
as the
VT2500
and the proper channel and data rate. If your card requires you to manually start scanning for an
access point, do so following the instructions in the documentation supplied with the card.
