Wireless LAN Configuration

To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings, as follows:

Mode

On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure".

 

 

(The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.)

 

 

 

 

SSID (ESSID)

Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access

 

 

Point they wish to connect to. Alternatively, the SSID can be set to

 

 

"any" or null (blank) to allow connection to any Access Point.

 

 

 

 

Wireless

The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings

 

Security

for Wireless security. (None, WEP, WPA-PSK).

 

 

WEP: If WEP is used, the Key size (64Bit, 128Bit), Key value, and

 

 

Authentication settings must be the same on the Wireless Stations and

 

 

the Access Point.

 

 

WPA-PSK:If WPA-PSK is used, all Wireless Stations must be set to

 

 

use WPA-PSK, and have the same Pre-shared Key and encryption

 

 

system.

 

 

For Ad-hoc networks (no Access Point), all Wireless stations must

 

 

use the same security settings.
