This section allows you to configure wireless settings on your Lynx L-525.
Basic
The
Wireless – Basic
screen lets you enable or disable wireless. The default
setting for wireless is enabled. You can also hide the access point so others
cannot see your ID on the network.
Security
The next screen is the
Wireless – Security
screen which allows you to select
the network authentication method and to enable or disable WEP encryption.
Note that depending on the network authentication that is selected, the screen
will change accordingly so additional fields can be configured for the specific
authentication method.

•

WEP encryption setting.

64-bit or 128-bit needs to be selected. Click on

can be set and you can come back to select which one to use at
anytime.
