[. . . ] USER GUIDE SMCWSP-100 Wi-Fi SIP Phone Wi-Fi SIP Phone User Guide 20 Mason Irvine, CA 92618 Phone: (949) 679-8000 June 2007 Pub. # 149100039200E E062007-EK-R02 Information furnished by SMC Networks, Inc. (SMC) is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no responsibility is assumed by SMC for its use, nor for any infringements of patents or other rights of third parties which may result from its use. [. . . ] For existing networks, you can select "Edit" to change settings, or "Delete" to remove the network from your list. In the New Profile screen, either enter the SSID (network name) of the new network or use "Scan" to perform a search for nearby Wi-Fi networks. Set the connection type to "Access Point" and configure network security, if required by the network operator. For more details on the security options, see "Network Security Settings" on page 7-3. 4. 5. Select Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign IP settings, or manually enter details as provided by the network operator. Note that when you select DHCP, you do not have to configure the IP Address, Gateway, IP Netmask, or DNS entries. The Wi-Fi Phone must have a valid IP address to be able to connect to SIP servers and make calls. Most wireless network operators will use DHCP to automatically assign IP addresses. DHCP is the default setting. 6-2 Network Security Settings 6. If needed, you can set the maximum wireless data rate and transmit power. If located close to an access point, you can reduce the transmit power while maintaining a high data rate. When configuration settings are complete, press the Right Soft key to return to the Wireless Configuration list. You can select the network you want to connect to from the options menu. Changing your network selection requires the phone to restart. 7. Network Security Settings Wireless networks can be configured as "open systems" that broadcast a beacon signal including the configured SSID. Wireless clients with a configured SSID of "any" can read the SSID from the beacon and automatically set their SSID to allow immediate connection to the network. Secure wireless networks implement one of several types of user authentication and data encryption to prevent unauthorized access. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized access to the network and encrypting data transmitted between wireless clients and the access point. WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed to all clients that want to use the network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) employs a combination of technologies to provide an enhanced security solution for wireless networks. The WPA Pre-shared Key (WPA-PSK) mode for small networks uses a common password phrase that must be manually distributed to all clients that want to connect to the network. WPA2 is a futher security enhancement that includes the now ratified IEEE 802. 11i wireless security standard. Both WPA and WPA2 provide very robust security through the support of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption ciphers. If the network you want to connect to uses security, the network operator should provide details of the security used and the appropriate encryption keys. [. . . ] If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a 6. 7. 8. C-4 The GNU General Public License consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
