WavePOINT-II - Quick Installation Guide
WaveLAN IEEE Systems
3
In WaveLAN IEEE infrastructures, all WavePOINT-II devices and
wireless stations must use the same WaveLAN Network Name
1
.
Alternatively you can (re-)configure the stations to use the value
“ANY” (all upper-case) to allow a station to connect to the first
WavePOINT-II it can find.
Once the WaveLAN IEEE stations has the correct WaveLAN
Network Name, it will automatically select the correct radio channel
and establish the connection with the WavePOINT-II.
WaveLAN Legacy Systems
3
For WaveLAN Legacy systems, all WavePOINT-II devices and
wireless stations must use identical values for the following
parameters:
■
Domain ID.
■
Frequency Channel.
■
Beacon Key.
!
CAUTION:
The start-up configuration of WavePOINT-II works fine for
testing the equipment and/or performing site surveys.
To avoid unintended interference with neighboring
networks, or unauthorized access to your network you are
advised always to modify this configuration to define
unique values for your WaveLAN Network.
Consult the WaveMANAGER IEEE User’s Guide for more
information and instructions.

This parameter corresponds to the “ESSID” (Extended Service Set ID) as
defined in the IEEE 802.11 Standard for Wireless LANs.
