Properties, Performance and Beacon Settings, those fields can also be defined at this time.
Define the Channel Settings, Power Level and 802.11 mode in respect to the 2.4 or 5 GHz 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n radio traffic and anticipated gain of the antennas.
CAUTION
Only a qualified wireless network administrator should set the access point radio configuration. Refer to the Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide available at http://www.extremenetworks.com/go/documentation for an understanding of the configurable values involved and their implications.
NOTE
Even an access point configured with minimal values must protect its data against theft and corruption. A security policy should be configured for WLAN1 as part of the basic configuration outlined in this guide. A security policy can be configured for the WLAN from within the Quick Setup screen. Policies can be defined over time and saved to be used as needed as the access point’s security requirements change. Extreme Networks recommends you familiarize yourself with the security options available on the access point before defining a security policy.
9Click Apply to save any changes to the Quick Setup screen. Navigating away from the screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost, unless you use the
10Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the settings displayed on the Quick Setup screen to the last saved configuration.
Configuring Basic Security
For testing basic connectivity, there is no reason to configure a server supported authentication scheme. WEP 128 is described in this guide as a basic security scheme sufficient to protect the access point’s initial transmissions. For details on configuring more sophisticated authentication and encryption options available to the access point, refer to the Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide available at
http://www.extremenetworks.com/go/documentation.
