Installation Guide
16. To create a new WLAN, select + Add from the upper, left-hand side of the Wireless LAN field.
17. Set the following configuration attributes for the new WLAN:
•
Name - Provide a unique name for the WLAN as its network identifier. This is a required setting.
•
Enable - Select this setting to enable this WLAN within the Access Point managed network and
provide some measure of data protection.
•
SSID - Specify the WLAN's SSID. The WLAN SSID is case sensitive and alphanumeric. SSID length
should not exceed 32 characters. This is a required setting. Select Client-To-Client
Communication to enable client interoperability within this WLAN. The default is disabled,
meaning clients are not allowed to exchange packets with other clients. It does not necessarily
prevent clients on other WLANs from sending packets to this WLAN, but if this setting is disabled
on the other WLAN, clients are not permitted to interoperate at all.
•
WLAN Type - The screen displays with the Open option selected. Naming and saving such a policy
(as is) would provide no security and might only make sense in a network wherein no sensitive data
is either transmitted or received. This default setting is not recommended.
If selecting Secure-PSK, enter a WPA2 Key to password protect the WLAN. Define whether the
key is entered in ASCII or HEX characters. Selecting Show to expose the key is not recommended.
