Through the Web Based Configuration you can change the wireless network the Ethernet Converter is associated with, the IP Address of the Ethernet Converter, and other important settings. After logging in on the previous pages, you will be greeted by the main configuration page. This page quickly shows you what network the Ethernet Converter is connected too as well as allowing you to search for available networks. The first step in the Web Based Configuration should be to search for an available wireless network. To do this, press the Search button in the 'SSID (Network Name)' table. After pressing the Search button, the Search for SSID program will run. Select the appropriate wireless network that you would like to connect to and press the Select button. If encryption is enabled on the wireless network, you will need to enter the encryption key on a future step. 12 After selecting a wireless network to connect to, you will be returned to the main Web Based Configuration page. If the wireless network you are attempting to connect to is not broadcasting its SSID, then you will be required to manually enter the SSID into the SSID field. After the field is populated with the proper SSID, then press the Apply Settings button. 13 The SSID in the table will be populated now. Depending on whether or not the wireless network is using WEP Encryption or not, the Encryption Key option may be set to Encrypt or No Encryption. If it is set to No Encryption then you are already connected to the wireless network, and you may skip to the last step on this page. If the Encryption Key option is set to 'Encrypt' then you will need to enter the correct encryption type and key and press the Apply Settings button. The drop down menu references the type of encryption key used, either WEP, TKIP, or AES. It is important that you know not only your encryption key but also the type of key. Please consult your Router/Acess Point's wireless settings and documentation for further information. Once the encryption information has been completed, press the Apply Settings button. The 'Finalize Connecting' page will appear. The main Web Based Configuration page will now list the connection information in the Wireless Connection Status table. 14 The Ethernet Converter configuration is complete. To continue configuring advanced settings, please skip to the next page. Disconnect the Ethernet Converter from the network connection and power adapter, and move it to the desired location. [. . . ] The Ethernet Converter must then be re-initialized to restore configuration capabilities. Initialization and Reboot - This page contains settings that restart and re-initialize the Ethernet Converter. Initialize - Initializing the Ethernet Converter restores the Ethernet Converter's settings to the default settings. This will erase all configuration changes made, and the setup will have to be restarted as if the product was brand new. You may also initialize the Ethernet converter with the INIT button; see page 23. Restart - Restarting the Ethernet Converter performs a simple restart similar to what would occur if the power was cycled on the Ethernet Converter. The restart process takes about 30 seconds and is complete when the wireless LED is lit. 21 Management Firmware Update - This page contains settings that update the Ethernet Converter's Firmware. Updating the Ethernet Converter's firmware is a procedure where a user downloads a newer firmware from the Buffalo Technology Web Site and applies it to the Ethernet Converter. [. . . ]
