6.1.1 Basic WLAN Configuration

Wireless LANs

When creating or modifying a WLAN, the 

Basic Configuration

 screen is the first screen that displays as part of the WLAN 

configuration screen flow. Use this screen to enable a WLAN, and define its SSID, client behavior and VLAN assignments.

1. Select the 

Configuration

 tab from the Web UI.

2. Select 

Wireless.

3. Select 

Wireless LANs

 to display a high level display of existing WLANs.

4. Select the 

Add

 button to create an additional WLAN, or select 

Edit

 to modify selected WLAN’s properties. WLANs can also 

be removed as they become obsolete by selecting 

Delete

.

Figure 6-3

WLAN Basic Configuration screen

5. Refer to the 

WLAN Configuration

 field to define the following:

WLAN

If adding a new WLAN, enter its name in the space provided. Spaces between words are 
not permitted. The name could be a logical representation of the WLAN coverage area 
(engineering, marketing etc.). If editing an existing WLAN, the WLAN’s name appears at 
the top of the screen and cannot be modified. The name cannot exceed 32 characters.

SSID

Enter or modify the 

Services Set Identification

 (SSID) associated with the WLAN. The 

WLAN name is auto-generated using the SSID until changed by the user. The maximum 
number of characters for the SSID is 32.
