Configuring the Network Interface
Each SonicPoint or group of SonicPoints must be connected to
a physical network interface that is configured for Wireless.
SonicOS by default provides a standard wireless zone (WLAN),
which can be applied to any available interface.
To configure a network interface using the standard wireless
(WLAN) zone:
1. Navigate to the Network > Interfaces page and click the
Configure button for the interface to which your
SonicPoints will be connected.
2. Select WLAN for the Zone type.
3. Select Static for the IP Assignment.
4. Enter a static IP Address in the field. Any private IP is
appropriate for this field, as long at it does not interfere with
the IP address range of any of your other interfaces.
5. Enter a Subnet Mask. In our example 255.255.255.0 is an
appropriate mask.
6. Optionally, choose a SonicPoint Limit for this interface.
This option helps limit resources on port-by-port basis
when using SonicPoints across multiple ports.
7. Optionally, choose to allow Management and User Login
mechanisms if they make sense in your deployment.
Remember that allowing login from a wireless zone can
pose a security threat, especially if you or your users have
not set strong passwords.
