Checking Basic Settings
Checking Basic Settings
Mismatched basic settings are the most common causes of connectivity problems with wireless clients
and bridge-to-bridge or bridge-to-access point connections. If the bridge does not communicate with
wireless devices, check the following settings.
SSID
Wireless devices attempting to associate with the bridge must use the same SSID as the bridge. The
default SSID is
tsunami
.
WEP Keys
The WEP key you use to transmit data must be set up exactly the same on your bridge and any wireless
devices with which it associates. For example, if you set WEP Key 3 on your wireless LAN adapter to
0987654321 and select it as the transmit key, you must also set WEP Key 3 on the bridge to exactly the
same value.
Refer to the “Security Setup” section in Chapter 3 of the
Cisco Aironet 350 Series Bridge Software
Configuration Guide
for instructions on setting the bridge’s WEP keys.
