iPECS SBG-1000 User Manual (DATA Features)
The first ‘Enable Wireless’ check box displayed in this screen enables you to activate or deactivate
the gateway’s entire wireless interface. The ‘Home Network’ and ‘Secured Wireless Network’
access points are activate by default. You can change their network names (also known as SSIDs)
in the respective name fields.
Both access points are secured with a default password (by default “wlpass123”), which you can
change in the ‘Global Wireless Password’ field. However, the ‘Secured Wireless Network’ can also
be configured with the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol. WEP is a data encryption method
utilizing a 13-character security key that is used for authentication of wireless clients. To utilize
WEP, select ‘WEP Wireless Network’ from the drop-down menu. The screen refreshes, displaying
the ‘Wireless Password’ field, which enables you to define the access point’s WEP security key.
