Configuring the CheetahAccessWireless Gateway

Wireless Configuration

To configure the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway as a wireless access point for wireless clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to do is define the radio channel, the domain identifier, and encryption options.

You can use the Setup Wizard by clicking the “Enter” button at the bottom of the page and changing the required settings, or you can select “Channel and SSID” or “Encryption” from the Setup menu on the left side of the screen.

Channel and SSID

You must specify a common radio channel and service domain (i.e., Service Set ID) to be used by the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway and all of your wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of your clients to the same values.

Encryption

If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable encryption. Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway and all of your wireless clients. You can choose between standard 64-bit or the more robust 128-bit encryption keys.
