PERFORMING CONFIGURATION ACTIVITIES

The ACC allows you to perform a variety of configuration activities.

Basic configuration activities consist of the following steps. See “NetworkXSettings Page”Xon page 33X.X

ƒConfiguring the Bridge for Infrastructure mode

Infrastructure mode prepares the Bridge for use with an Access Point.

ƒAssigning a Service Set Identifier (SSID) to the Bridge

To allow a connection between the Bridge and an Access Point, the SSID of the two devices must be identical.

If the Bridge is configured with an SSID of “any”, it will connect to the Access Note: Point with the best signal, so long as all security settings match.

ƒEnabling Wireless Security (optional)

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) are security protocols for wireless local area networks (WLANs), defined in the 802.11 standard.

ƒChoosing Static or DHCP Assignment of IP Address

If DHCP is used, a client name can be assigned to allow identification of specific bridges on a network.

ƒAssigning user discovery name

The user discovery name identifies the Bridge in Evaluation and Management Utilities (if Enable UDAP is checked in the Services Page).
