WLAN interface setup
To configure the WLAN interface, do as follows:
1. In the Control panel
, click the WLAN icon at the top of the page.
2. To enable the WLAN interface, select Enable.
3. Next to Region, select the region you are located in.
4. Select the Channel number used for communication on the WLAN interface.
5. Select Broadcast SSID to show your WLAN access point to other users.
If you clear the box, your WLAN access point is hidden.
6. Type in the SSID.
The SSID is a max. 32 character text identifying the wireless local area network. All wireless
devices on a WLAN must use the same SSID in order to communicate with each other. The
default SSID is EXPLORER510.
7. Select the Security standard. You may select one of the following encryption standards:
• None (no encryption is applied)
• WEP-40/64
•WEP-104/128
•WPA-TKIP
• WPA2-AES (selected by default)
8. Next to Key type, select Hexadecimal or Text.
The encryption key must normally be a hexadecimal code. However, if you are using WPA-
TKIP or WPA2-AES encryption (default) you can choose to use a text string, which may be
easier to memorize.
9. Type in the Encryption key for the selected Security standard (not applicable if security
mode = None). The default encryption key is the serial number of the EXPLORER 510.
The Internet settings entered in the Terminal settings page also apply for the WLAN
interface. See Internet and LAN connection modes on page 55.
If you disable WLAN you may not be able to access the EXPLORER 510.
Before disabling the WLAN interface, make sure you have a working LAN
connection with the USB to LAN Converter Cable.
You can restore the WLAN settings with the Reset button, see Restore the
settings of the EXPLORER 510 on page 82.
It may take some seconds to enable the interface.
In some countries, the use of WLAN is not allowed. Before continuing, make sure
WLAN is allowed and licensed in the country where you intend to use it.
