HITRON CVE-30360 USER’S GUIDE
WIRELESS
You should choose the best security method available; see Basic Wireless Security
on page 71 for a list of methods the CVE-30360 supports, in order of effectiveness.
In order to find out which security methods your other wireless devices support, you
can:
Look at the wireless device and see if it has a label listing the methods
supported.
Look at any documentation or packaging that came with the device.
Go into the device’s configuration utility and look for a list of supported methods.
This is often displayed as a drop-down list from which you can select an option.
Go to the device’s manufacturer’s website and look for an information page that
lists the device’s specifications.
If you want to use WPS (see WPS on page 75) all the wireless clients must also
support WPS. There are two ways to determine if this is the case (in addition to those
described above):
Look at the wireless device and see if it has a physical button labeled “WPS” or
something similar, a wireless “wave” icon (something like ), or the “Wi-Fi
Protected Setup” logo. If any of these are the case, the device probably supports
the WPS PBC (“Push-Button Configuration”) method.
Go into the wireless device’s configuration utility and look for a “WPS” or “Wi-Fi
Protected Setup” screen. This screen should let you know whether the device
supports WPS PBC method, the WPS PIN method, or both (some devices have
a PBC button in their configuration utilities, in addition to or instead of a physical
button).
Once you have chosen a security method, you can select it on the CVE-30360 in the
Wireless > Security screen’s Security Mode field (see The Security Screen on
page 78).
6.2.2 CHANGING THE WIRELESS PASSWORD
Only wireless clients with the correct password can access the network. It’s a good
idea to change your wireless network’s password every so often, if you think
someone knows it who shouldn’t, or if there’s suspicious activity on your network.
You should change the password on the CVE-30360, then change the password on
each of your wireless clients.
The procedure for changing the password on the CVE-30360 depends on the
security method your network is using.
If you are using the WPS PBC (“Push-Button Configuration”) security method,
where you press a button on the CVE-30360 and the other wireless devices,
which connect automatically, just run the WPS PBC process again; see the
Quick Installation Guide that came with your CVE-30360 for more information on
how to do this.
