3.2.1 Configuring Basic AP-7131 Security
For testing basic connectivity, there is no reason to configure a server supported authentication
scheme. WEP 128 is described in this guide as a basic security scheme sufficient to protect the
AP-7131's initial transmissions. For details on configuring more sophisticated authentication and
encryption options available to the AP-7131, refer to the AP-7131 Product Reference Guide. The guide
is available on the Motorola Web site, at http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do.
To configure WEP 128:
1. From the AP-7131 Quick Setup screen, click the

Multiple WLANs can share the same security policy, so be careful not to name security
policies after specific WLANs or risk defining a WLAN to single policy. Motorola
recommends naming the policy after the attributes of the authentication or encryption
type selected.
