II Quick Setup Wizard

The GlobeSurfer

®

II management console allows you to control various GlobeSurfer

®

II system parameters. The interface is accessed

through a web browser:

1. Start a web browser on your PC.

2. Enter the address 192.168.1.1 to display the GlobeSurfer

®

II management console. When first logging on to the management

console, the welcome screen will appear (see Figure 2.3). Configure your language settings and enter a password. To verify

correctness retype the password, and click ‘OK’ to login to the management console. For security reasons it is strongly

recommended that you specify a password. However, make sure you remember your new user name and password, since this is the

only way you will be able to login to the GlobeSurfer

Quick Setup Wizard: UMTS

Check or change the following settings on the Quick setup screen to configure the UMTS connection (see Figure 2.7):

Figure 2.7 Quick setup Wizard: UMTS

Access point name:

Enter the access point name as provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or accept the name already set.

UMTS connect method:

·

Connect Manually: connect to the Internet by clicking ‘Connect’ on the ‘Connection Status’ page in the management

console or press the ‘Connect’ button on the GlobeSurfer

®

II unit.

·

Automatically connect upon traffic: GlobeSurfer

®

II will automatically connect when you attempt to send data via the

Internet.

In case of inactivity, disconnect after (minutes):

The default is zero (0), meaning UMTS will stay connected until

manually disconnected. The maximum is 1440 minutes (24hrs).

Note: Incoming traffic is treated as inactivity.

2.3.4

Quick Setup Wizard: Wireless

SSID:

The Service Set Identifier: enter a name for your local wireless network (WLAN) (maximum 32 characters).

Note: Setting the SSID to something unique will make it much easier to identify your own wireless network, especially if there

are other wieless networks available in the nearby area.

SSID broadcast:

If you set the ‘Enabled’ checkbox to broadcast then other devices can detect and connect to your WLAN. Clear the checkbox

to disable broadcasting and hide the name of your network. This provides minimal security, as other devices have to know the

SSID to connect. You can install the WLAN with this feature enabled and then disable it once you have set up GlobeSurfer

®

II

and its associated wireless clients.

2.3.5

Quick Setup Wizard: Wireless Encryption

In order to prohibit unauthorized access to your GlobeSurfer

®

II, make sure to apply sufficient security and encryption on your

wireless network.

If WPA2 is supported by your wireless clients it is recommended to apply WPA2 encryption to your wireless network as it offers

the highest level of security.

Depending on your choice of security method, the Wireless Encryption page will refresh with relevant configuration choices.

Unless ‘No Encryption’ is selected you will be asked to enter an encryption key in either HEX or ASCII format. HEX format

requires a hexadecimal key (‘0’-‘9’, ‘a’-‘f’) of various length depending on your selection. An ASCII key consists of a pass-

phrase of various length that will be translated by the GlobeSurfer

®

II into a HEX key. Using an ASCII key could be easier to

remember than a HEX key, but in some cases there are compatability issues between different vendors of wireless equipment.

Hence, if you are experiencing problems when using ASCII key, try to use HEX keys instead.

Available choices are:

·

‘No encryption’

This option is not recommended except during installation of your network.

·

‘

WEP’

Wireless Equivalent Privacy is a 64-bit or 128-bit encryption method with user configurable fixed keys.

·

‘WPA

’ Wi-Fi Protected Access is a 256-bit encryption method with keys that change automatically over time.

·

‘WPA2’

A more secure version of WPA with implementation of the 802.11i standard.

·

‘Keep current (radius based) scheme’

This option is only available if advanced encryption settings have previously been

configured.
