Step 6: Configure WLAN Security
Within the WLAN window, the administrator changes both standard and advanced configuration features of the WLAN.
Field | Description |
Name | Rename the WLAN in this field, if desired. Character spaces are allowed. |
| This change affects several other screens and the interface will also change |
| the name in the left menu tree. Symbol Technologies recommends the use |
| of descriptive names for WLANs. |
ESSID | Specify an Extended Service Set Identification (ESSID) for the WLAN. The |
| ESSID is a alphanumeric string up to 32 characters. Its purpose is to |
| identify one or more access ports that are associated with the WLAN. |
Subnet | This field provides a |
| subnet to associate with the current WLAN. |
The lower section of the WLAN window provides several advanced settings that the administrator might need to modify; however, the default settings are typically sufficient for most installations. For more information, refer to How to Configure the Advanced WLAN Settings.
Step 6: Configure WLAN Security
In the previous step, the administrator set parameters for each WLAN that fine tune the performance of the WLAN. In addition, the administrator can set the type and level of security for each WLAN. These security measures do not control communications from the WAN; instead, they control communication from the clients within the WLAN.
