Chapter 5 Using WLAN

Introduction

WLANs allow the ES400 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using the ES400 on a WLAN, the
facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known as infrastructure). The
infrastructure and the ES400 must both be properly configured to enable this communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches, Radius
servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once you have set up the infrastructure to enforce your chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Fusion or
Wireless Zero Config (WZC) software to configure the ES400 to match.

Fusion Overview

The Fusion software contains applications with which to create wireless profiles. Each profile specifies the security
parameters to use for connecting to a particular WLAN as identified by its ESSID. The Fusion software also allows
the user to control which profile out of a set of profiles is used to connect. Other Fusion applications allow the user
to monitor the status of the current WLAN connection and to invoke diagnostic tools for troubleshooting.
