Security (encryption)
The WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) security
standard is available for the Wi-Fi client mode for se-
curing data transmission in your wireless network. This
method allows for individualised keys consisting of
let-
ters and numbers and the depicted special char-
acters with a length of up to 63 characters
. You
can simply enter them via the keyboard. Under Mode ,
you can limit access of clients to the
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac to the method you have se-
lected. In addition, the dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac also
supports the
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise Mode encryp-
tion key. As a central authentication server, (for multi-
ple access points) the RADIUS server handles user
administration.
Enterprise Mode does
not
support
any WPS.
Save all modified settings before leaving this configu-
ration area again.
The
factory defaults
have the
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac configured
as an access point and
WPA/WPA2
Wi-
Fi encryption is set with the
security
ID as the default WiFi key
. You will find
the 16-character security ID on the
label on the back of the housing.
When activating the encryption, make sure that the
Wi-Fi settings (SSID, encryption mode and encryption
key) of the access point always correspond to the set-
tings of the client, as otherwise you will be (uninten-
tionally) excluding devices from your network.
4.6 VLAN configuration
You can select whether you would like to disable the
VLAN configuration completely or use it. To do so,
press the
Enable VLAN
or
Disable VLAN
button. If
VLAN is disabled, all Ethernet ports, the dLAN port and
the Wi-Fi access points are interconnected, i.e. in this
operating mode the VLAN settings have no influence
on the behaviour of the dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac.
