SECTION 4 " Configuration

The default security ID is NORANDOWL.

All WLIF access points and wireless stations in the network must have the same security ID to communicate. The security ID is case sensitive. That is, if the access point’s security ID is in uppercase, the wireless station’s must also be in uppercase. Refer to the wireless station’s user guide for more information about setting its security ID.

Node Type

Node Type determines if this radio is a Master to which wireless stations attach, or is a Slave radio that must attach to a Master. Configuration of a WLIF radio as a Slave is necessary if the access point is configured as a wireless access point, or the designated bridge for a secondary LAN.

Configuration as a wireless access point requires installation of two WLIF radios: one Master and one Slave. The Master radio services stations local to the wireless access point. The Slave radio provides communications between the wireless access point and the network infrastructure. Figure 4-4 on page 4-65 shows a network example.
