Step 5: Configure WLANs

Access Port Adoption

Use this list to adopt detected Access Ports and to assign them to a particular WLAN. The switch can adopt up to six Access Ports at a time, but the list of allowed Access-Port addresses (displayed in this area) can exceed six in number. A dual-radio 802.11a/b Access Port counts as one Access Port with respect to the maximum allowed; however, each radio will be listed as a separate Access Port.

This adoption list identifies each Access Port by its Media Access Control (MAC) address. This address is the Access Port’s hard-coded hardware number that is printed on the bottom of the device. An example of a MAC address is 00:09:5B:45:9B:07.

1.To adopt an access port, click the Add button to add a new criteria line to the table.

2.Specify the following fields:

Field	Description
Start MAC	This field contains the lowest value in a range of MAC addresses that
	will use this particular adoption criteria. To specify a single MAC
	address instead of a range, enter it in this field and leave the End
	MAC field blank.
End MAC	This field contains that highest number in a range of MAC addresses
	that will use this particular adoption criteria. If this value is empty, the
	Access Port adopted by this criteria must match the Start MAC field
	exactly.
WLAN	The next one to three columns have the same names as the WLANs
columns	that are enabled in the upper portion of the screen. Click on the
	checkbox for a specific WLAN to associate the Access Ports that
	match the MAC address range with the checked WLANs.

Note: The default setting for the switch has both the Start MAC and End MAC addresses set to “ANY”, and all enabled WLANs checked. This setting allows all the WLANs to adopt any Access Port that it detects, automatically.

3. Click the Apply button to save changes.

Step 5: Configure WLANs

The Network Configuration --> Wireless window (covered in Step 4) is where WLANs are enabled; however, the Network Configuration --> Wireless --> <WLAN name> screen is where the administrator configures each WLAN, once it is enabled. The screen is titled with the name of the WLAN.
