3.6.2 Security
The wireless security screen (shown below) allows for configuration of wireless
security settings according to WiFi Simple Configuration (WSC) or Manual Setup AP
methods. The WSC method automatically configures security settings using Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS). In comparison, the Manual method requires the user to
select and enter all these settings for every device on the network.
Manual Setup AP settings are described in the table below.
Select SSID
Sets the wireless network name. SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. All stations
must be configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the SSID does not
match, that user will not be granted access. 802.11 protocols support two types of
network authentication services: open system and shared key.
Under open system authentication, any wireless station can request
authentication. The system that needs to authenticate with another wireless
station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity of
the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates
whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station.
Description
A drop-down menu that permits worldwide and specific
national settings. Each country listed below enforces specific
regulations limiting channel range:
US= worldwide
Japan=1-14
Jordan= 10-13
Israel= 1-13
The Guest SSID (Virtual Access Point) can be enabled by
selecting the Enable Wireless Guest Network checkbox.
Rename the Wireless Guest Network as you wish.
NOTE: Remote wireless hosts cannot scan Guest SSIDs.
