This screen lists the names of nearby wireless networks that your DMS has been able to
identify. If you have a wireless router (or wireless access point) and you did not set a
network name, your network is probably using a name supplied by the router’s
manufacturer.
If your network’s name is listed, select it. (You may be able to see more names by
pressing CHAN DOWN to scroll down the screen.)
Otherwise, select “Connect to a closed wireless network”:
On the Wireless Network Name screen, enter the name of your network using the
arrow buttons on your remote to highlight a character. Then press SELECT.
You must use capital and lowercase letters appropriately. For example, to find a
network named “My Network” you must capitalize the “M” and “N”; entering “my
network” would not work. Use THUMBS UP and THUMBS DOWN to change to
uppercase or lowercase. Select “Done entering text” when you are finished.
If the DMS detects that your wireless network does not use encryption (WEP) you will see
the Confirm Settings screen, described on page 124.
Wireless Password Format.
You see the Wireless Password Format screen if there is a
chance that your wireless network uses WEP encryption .
WEP.
WEP is a kind of encryption used by wireless networks to improve their security.
There are different levels of WEP encryption, typically called 40-, 64-, 104-, 128-, or 256-
bit encryption. Encryption at higher levels offers better security. At the highest levels
(104-bit or above), WEP encryption may slow down the transfer of programs from one
DMS to another by a small amount. WEP is usually turned on or off through the
configuration settings of a wireless access point or router. If your network uses WEP, then
it has a password or “key.”
To connect a DMS to a network that uses encryption, you need to provide:
