Introduction
Given the increasing deployment of wireless gateways and the known complexity of setting up a secure
wireless LAN network, remote management of wireless settings can lower the complexity for the end-user.
For example, remote management can configure or reset the SSID to a “default value” and configure the
security settings. The end-user does not need to manually configure the Thomson Gateway. Given a
broadcasted SSID and preconfigured security settings, the end-user must only configure the WEP or WPA key
on its PC. Remote management can also reset wireless settings to defaults that are provided to the end-user,
turn off security to allow the user to associate and configure again.
