8. Deployment and Configuration Tips

This section contains tips and suggestions to help you troubleshoot any problems you might experience when you set up your LWN602WA.

If the client fails to authenticate to an SSID using a PSK (preshared key), check that the PSK on the client matches that on the LWN602WA and reset one or both keys if necessary.

If you manage the LWN602WA through SmartPath EMS Online and it does not show up on the Monitor > Access Points > SmartPathAPs page, do the following:

-Check if the LWN602WA serial number is listed in the ACL on the Black Box redirection server. Log in to Smartpath.blackbox.com, and then click Redirector > Monitor > SmartPath AP Access Control List. If the serial number is not in the ACL, click Enter, type the serial number in the SmartPath AP Serial Number field, and then click “Save.” When done, reboot the LWN602WA.
