Configuring a Wireless LAN Connection
The Cisco Secure Router 520 Series routers support a secure, affordable, and easy-to-use wireless LAN
solution that combines mobility and flexibility with the enterprise-class features required by networking
professionals. With a management system based on Cisco IOS software, the Cisco routers act as access
points, and are Wi-Fi certified, IEEE 802.11a/b/g-compliant wireless LAN transceivers.
You can configure and monitor the routers using the command-line interface (CLI), the browser-based
management system, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This chapter describes how to
configure the router using the CLI. Use the interface dot11radio global configuration CLI command to
place the device into radio configuration mode.
See the Cisco Access Router Wireless Configuration Guide for more detailed information about
configuring these Cisco routers in a wireless LAN application.
