Important: Changes to the wireless web pages should be made from a PC that is hard

wired to the gateway, i.e. via Ethernet.

The Wireless web pages group enables a variety of settings that can provide secure and reliable

wireless communications for even the most demanding tech-savvy user.

The Wireless Voice Gateway offers a choice of 802.1x, WPA and WPA-PSK authentication of your

PCs to the gateway, 64 and 128 bit WEP encryption of communication between the gateway and your

PCs to guaranty security, and an Access Control List function that enables you to restrict wireless

access to only your specific PCs.

The wireless function will probably work in your home as shipped from the factory, but without the

security features activated. In addition, the factory default wireless channel setting may not provide

optimum changes are recommended from the factory defaults, to secure your wireless communications

and provide optimum performance.

Performance

Because your wireless communication travels through the air, the factory default wireless channel

setting may not provide optimum performance in your home if you or your neighbors have other

interfering 2.4GHz devices such as cordless phones. If your wireless PC is experiencing very sluggish

or dramatically slower communication compared with the speed you achieve on your PC that is wired

to the gateway, try changing the channel number. See the 802.11b/g Basic Web Page discussion below

for details.

Authentication

Authentication enables you to restrict your gateway from communicating with any remote wireless

PCs that aren’t yours. The following minimum authentication-related changes to factory defaults are

recommended. See the 802.11b/g Basic and Access Control Web Page discussions below for details.

Network Name (SSID) – Set a unique name you choose

Network Type – Set to Open

Access Control List – Enter your wireless PCs’ MAC addresses
