Setting WLAN SSID and Security Settings

Wireless stations can read the SSIDs from the access point's beacon frame. If
the "closed system" option is selected when configuring the access point, the
SSID is not broadcast in the beacon frame. For more secure data transmis-
sions, the access point provides client authentication and data encryption
based on shared keys that are distributed to all stations.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented to provide a basic level of
security, preventing unauthorized access to the network and encrypting data
transmitted between wireless stations and the access point.
The access point allows configuration of up to 16 SSIDs . The Web interface
provides easy screens to configure SSID parameters, including: enabling, SSID
names, closed system, VLAN IDs, and security settings. For Security param-
eter details, see
"Web: Setting Security Options" on page 7-18.
