Scenario 1: Adding secure wireless networking

The MAP makes it easy to add secure wireless connectivity to an existing local area
network.
How it works
In this scenario a MAP is installed on an existing corporate network to provide wireless
networking services for employees.
Since the MAP functions as a DHCP client and all its ports are bridged, it simply creates
a wireless extension to the existing network.
Wireless transmissions are protected using WPA with preshared keys, ensuring that
network traffic cannot be compromised by eavesdroppers.
