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

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.
