How to access an encrypted network
The steps required to connect to an encrypted WiFi network are the same
as those required to connect to a non-encrypted WiFi network — until you
click Connect. When you click the Connect button, the client will display
the following window:
In order to proceed, you must do one of the following:
• Enter a network encryption key obtained from the administrator of the
network you are trying to access.
• Configure 802.1x authentication according to the instructions of the
network's administrator.
When you are finished, click the Connect button to proceed.
Note: If you create a profile for this network containing the appropriate
encryption parameters, you will not see this dialog when you attempt to
connect.
How to change the encryption keys for a Network Profile
When network is added to the Network Profile list all encryption
information is saved with it. Therefore, you will not be asked for
encryption information again when connecting. For security purposes, the
network administrator may find it necessary to change the encryption key
for the network. Follow these steps to change the encryption key in the
Cingular Communication Manager:
1. Select Edit Connection Profiles from the Connections menu in the
main window. The Network Profiles window
appears.
2. Select the network you wish to edit the encryption key for.
