Entering the network details manually - cont.
5. In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name Server) will be set to the same IP address
as your router. In this case the secondary DNS may be left at zero.
To enter the DNS address, rotate the
Tuning/Select
control to set the value for each group of digits
and then press the control to enter the value and to move on to the next group. Repeat this until all
eight groups of digits have been entered.
If you previously specifi ed 'Wired' and then 'DHCP disable', your radio should now connect to the router
using the Ethernet cable (in which case skip to step 11).
6. If you specifi ed 'Wireless', the next step is to set up the WiFi connection, starting with the name of the
wireless network (SSID) followed by the encryption options and password.
To enter the SSID, characters are selected and entered using the
Tuning/Select
control. As you rotate
the control, the radio scrolls through the available characters as well as the three controls on the right.
The character currently highlighted will be entered when you press the
Tuning/Select
control.
Do this as needed until the complete network name has been entered.
The SSID setting is sensitive
to upper and lower case characters and symbols. You must enter it exactly as set up in your router.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions.
select '
' to erase a character or key previously entered
select '
' when the SSID is complete
select '
' to cancel and go back to the DNS settings screen
7. Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your wireless
network. This should be the same as specifi ed in your router settings. If your network does not use
encryption, then select the 'Open' option. Your radio should then connect to the network - skip to step
11. If your network uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) select the 'Pre-Shared Key' option then go
to step 8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) - see step 9.
8. If you chose 'Pre-Shared Key' in step 7, normally you should then choose the WEP option. The key
should then be entered using only the numbers
0-9
and the letters
A-F
. The key will be 10 characters
long for 64-bit encryption and 26 characters long for 128-bit encryption. The radio will accept lower-
case letters
a-f
as equivalent to upper-case
A-F
. Spaces or special symbols are not permitted in WEP
keys.
