ERIFYING THE
Make sure the access point is connected to the LAN and associate some wireless clients with the network. Once you have
tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security and fine-tune the AP by modifying advanced
configuration features.
1. Connect the access point to the LAN.
• If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network hub, then your access
point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some wireless clients.
• If you configured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer to the access point, do the
following procedures:
a. Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point.
b. Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN.
c. Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card.
2. Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients.
Test the UAP by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client devices. For information about
requirements for these clients, see
3. Secure and configure the access point by using advanced features.
Once the wireless network is up and you can connect to the AP with some wireless clients, you can add in layers of
security, create multiple virtual access points (VAPs), and configure performance settings.
Note: The WLAN AP is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configuration changes. If more than one
administrator is logged onto the Administration Web pages and making changes to the configuration, there is
no guarantee that all configuration changes specified by multiple users will be applied.
By default, no security is in place on the access point, so any wireless client can associate with it and access your LAN.
An important next step is to configure security, as described in
