8 Select Enable Radio.
9 Select a Mode or use the default.
10 Under Wireless Security, select the Authentication
Type for your wireless network. SonicWall recommends
using WPA2 as the authentication type if all client
devices support it.
TIP: PSK uses a personal passphrase for authentication,
EAP uses an Enterprise RADIUS server.
11 Select the Cipher Type. When using WPA and WPA2,
SonicWall recommends AES for maximum security.
NOTE: Older client devices might not support AES.
12 Fill in the fields specific to the authentication type that
you selected. The remaining fields change depending
on the selected authentication type.
13 Optionally, under ACL Enforcement, select Enable MAC
Filter List to enforce Access Control by allowing or
denying traffic from specific devices. Select a MAC
address object group from the Allow List or Deny List to
automatically allow or deny traffic to and from all
devices with MAC addresses in the group. The Deny List
is enforced before the Allow List.
Radio 0 / Radio1 Advanced tab settings
14 Click the Radio 0 Advanced tab, or the Radio 1
Advanced tab.
The configuration is very similar for the Radio 0
Advanced and Radio 1 Advanced tabs. For most
advanced options, the default settings give optimum
performance. For a full description of the fields on this
tab, see the SonicOS Administration Guide.
15 Optionally select the Hide SSID in Beacon checkbox.
The SSID refers to the access point name that appears
in clients' lists of available wireless connections.
Hiding the SSID provides additional security because it
requires the user to know the access point name before
connecting.
16 When finished configuring all tabs, click OK.
Verifying SonicPoint operation
To verify that the SonicPoint is provisioned and operational,
navigate to the SonicPoint > SonicPoints page in SonicOS. In
the SonicPointNs table, the Status column displays the
SonicPoint ACe status. It should say Operational.
