intended 2.4 or 5 GHz radio traffic and the antennas used. Refer to

n or 802.11a/n radio traffic and anticipated gain of the antennas.
CAUTION
Only a qualified wireless network administrator should set the Access Point radio configuration. Refer to
"Configuring the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio" on page 174
and their implications.
NOTE
Even an Access Point configured with minimal values must protect its data against theft and corruption.
A security policy should be configured for WLAN1 as part of the basic configuration outlined in this guide. A
security policy can be configured for the WLAN from within the Quick Setup screen. Policies can be defined
over time and saved to be used as needed as security requirements change. Extreme Networks recommends
you familiarize yourself with the security options available on the Access Point before defining a security policy.
