An overview of the information that is required to set up a Security Profile follows—including a
description of the Network Authentication choices that are available:
•
Profile Definition.
Configure the following settings:
•
Security Profile Name
. Use a name that makes it easy to recognize the profile—and to
tell profiles apart. (The default names are ARADA, ARADA-1, ARADA-2, and so on.)
You can enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
•
Wireless Network Name (SSID).
This is the name of your wireless network. It is set to
the default name of ARADA_11g for 802.11b/bg/ng.
•
Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID).
If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only
devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network
“discovery” feature of some products such as Windows XP, Vista and Unix systems but
the data is still fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test equipment like
wireless sniffers. Default is enabled.

Note:
Only the first profile is enabled by default. The rest of the profiles are disabled
and must be enabled if configured.
