Using the Express Security Page

Follow these steps to create an SSID using the Express Security page:
Step 1 Type the SSID in the SSID entry eld. The SSID can contain up to 32 alphanumeric
characters.
Note These characters are not allowed in the SSID: +, ], /, ", TAB, and trailing SPACE.
Step 2 To broadcast the SSID in the access point beacon, check the Broadcast SSID in Beacon
check box.
Note When you broadcast the SSID, devices that do not specify an SSID can associate to the
access point. This is a useful option for an SSID used by guests or client devices in
public space. If you do not broadcast the SSID, client devices cannot associate to the
access point unless their SSID matches this SSID, so only one SSID can be included in
the access point beacon.
Step 3 (Optional) Check the Enable VLAN ID check box and enter a VLAN number (1 through
4095) to assign the SSID to a VLAN. You cannot assign an SSID to an existing VLAN.
Step 4 (Optional) Check the Native VLAN check box to mark the VLAN as the native VLAN.
Step 5 Select the security setting for the SSID. The settings are listed in order of their robustness,
from No Security to WPA, which is the most secure setting.
If you select Static WEP Key, choose the key number and encryption size and enter the
encryption key (10 hexadecimal characters for 40-bit keys or 26 hexadecimal
characters for 128-bit keys.
If you select EAP Authentication or WPA, enter the IP address and shared secret for the
authentication server on your network.
Your 802.11n security con guration must be either no encryption or WPA2/AES. Any
other con guration eliminates the higher data speeds provided by 802.11n.
Note If you do not use VLANS on your wireless LAN, the security options that you can assign to
multiple SSIDs are limited. Refer to the
Aironet Access Points
1. Click Apply. The SSID appears in the SSID table at the bottom of the page.
