In the “Connect to Wireless Network” dialog box, select the Access Point from
“Available Wireless Networks”, and click “Connect”. (When using the Access Point
functions under factory default settings, check the 6-character identifier printed on
the label inside the rear cover of the Wireless Unit.)
2Are the Network Name (SSID) and Data Encryption (WEP)
settings configured correctly?
To connect to the Access Point, the Network Name (SSID) and Data Encryption (WEP) settings
must be the same at the computer and the Access Point.
