Step 2: Configure the Card’s Wireless Security Settings
The second step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the Wireless Settings section of the Wireless Settings page. This section configures both the communication and security parameters from the internal wireless card to the WAP. The procedures outlined within the following sections use an 802.11g card to configure a common security
configuration to a target WAP.
Refer to either the G4 Web Control Settings/G4 Web Control Page section on page 73 or the Appendix B - Wireless Technology section on page 163 for more information on the other security methods.
Once you have set up the wireless card parameters, you must configure the communication parameters for the target Master; see Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode section on page 29.
