| Select WLAN Security Settings |
| most wireless networks use security to protect the | ||
|
|
| network and users from unauthorized use. | |||
|
|
|
|
| ||
|
|
|
|
| Selecting WLAN Security Settings will allow us to | |
|
|
|
|
| configure the devices security settings for the | |
|
|
|
|
| network. This is covered in section XX. | |
|
|
|
|
| ||
|
| Feature Link |
| The wireless interface is now configured however | ||
|
| Select Network Settings |
| most AdHoc networks do not have a DHCP server | ||
|
|
| available to provide IP address to the devices in the | |||
|
|
|
|
| ||
|
|
|
|
| network. It therefore necessary to assign a static IP | |
|
|
|
|
| address to the wireless interface. | |
|
|
|
|
| Selecting Network Settings will allow us to | |
|
|
|
|
| configure the device with a static IP address. This is | |
|
|
|
|
| covered in section 19.0. | |
