Profiles
Creating a profile allows you to assign the security type, encryption and authentication to use when connecting
the AP to a wireless client. The default mode is “open”, i.e., no security. This mode is insecure as it allows any
compatible wireless clients to connect to an AP configured with this security profile.
To create a new profile, use a unique profile name to identify the combination of settings. Configure a unique
SSID that will be the identifier used by the clients to communicate to the AP using this profile. By choosing to
broadcast the SSID, compatible wireless clients within range of the AP can detect this profile’s availability. The AP
offers all advanced 802.11 security modes, including WEP, WPA2, and WPA+WPA2.
