Editing a Network Profile
The Factory Defaults profile for a SLA5500 cannot be edited. However, there are
other profiles available that can be edited to effectively create new profiles. To
change these settings, you will need to have some knowledge of your wireless
network setup.
Note: The alternative profiles can be edited at any time, but any existing information
in the selected profile will be overwritten once the profile has been edited and
saved.
1 Display the profile to be edited (see ‘Viewing Existing Network Profiles’).
2 Give your profile a unique Profile Name.
3 Enter the Service Set ID (SSID) for your wireless LAN.
4 By default, the profile will use the Infrastructure network type (i.e. an Internet
base station is available on the network). If however you select the Allow ad-hoc
connection checkbox, it means that your PC will use a direct peer-to-peer
connection to the SLA5500.
• If you are using WEP encryption on the wireless network, click the WEP enabled
checkbox and enter the appropriate WEP key and the Key index.
• If you are using a proxy server, check the Use proxy server checkbox.
Enter the Proxy server as an IP address (example 192.167.0.10) or as a name
(example my.proxy). The Proxy port number must be a numeric value
(usually, this is port 80 or 8080).
5 If the SLA5500 will get a dynamic IP address automatically from a DHCP server,
select the Use DHCP checkbox.
6 If the SLA5500 needs a fixed IP address, leave the Use DHCP checkbox
unchecked and enter the IP Address for the SLA5500, as well as the Netmask
(Subnet mask), and IP addresses for the Gateway, DNS Server Preferred and
DNS Server Alternate.
7 Click the ‘Apply’ button to confirm the changes, or click the ‘Refresh’ button to
discard the changes.
8 If you want to make this profile the active profile for the SLA5500, click the ‘Make
Active’ button. Click the ‘Close’ button to return to the main window.
9 Click the ‘Discover...’ button to verify that the SLA5500 can still be found on the
network after you make these changes.
Note: This task can also be done directly on the SLA5500 using the remote control.
