Step 7: Configuring Wlan Security - Symbol WS 2000 System Installation Manual

38 WS 2000 System Installation Guide
Use the Access Port Adoption area to assign Access Ports to a particular WLAN. The switch can adopt
up to six Access Ports at a time, but the list of allowed Access-Port addresses (displayed in this area)
can exceed six in number. A dual-radio 802.11a/b Access Port counts as one Access Port with respect
to the maximum allowed; however, each radio is listed as a separate Access Port.
This adoption list identifies each Access Port by its Media Access Control (MAC) address. This
address is the Access Port's hard-coded hardware number that is printed on the bottom of the device.
An example of a MAC address is 00:09:5B:45:9B:07.
The default setting associates all adopted Access Ports with WLAN1.

Step 7: Configuring WLAN Security

In the previous step, the administrator set parameters for each WLAN that fine tune the performance
of the WLAN. In addition, the administrator can set the type and level of security for each WLAN.
These security measures do not control communications from the WAN; instead, they control
communication from the clients within the WLAN.
In the Network Configuration --> Wireless --> <WLAN name> --> <WLAN Name> --> Security
screen, the administrator can set the user authentication method and the encryption method, as well
as define a set of rules that control which MUs can communicate through the WLAN.
