ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point with RFID Support, WNDAP380R
Configure and Enable Security Profiles
To configure and enable a security profile, you need to enable the associated radio:
•
For 802.11b/bg/ng modes, the 2.4 GHz radio needs to be enabled (see
Configure
802.11b/bg/ng Wireless Settings
on page
25).
•
For 802.11a/na modes, the 5 GHz radio needs to be enabled (see
Configure 802.11a/na
Wireless Settings
on page
28).
Both radios can function concurrently.
The wireless access point is set by default as an open system with no authentication. When
you configure network authentication, bear in mind the following:
•
If you are using access point mode (which is the default mode if you did not enable
wireless bridging), all options are available. In other modes such as bridge mode, some
options might be unavailable.
•
Not all wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Consult the product documentation for
your wireless adapter and WPA or WPA2 client software for instructions about how to
configure WPA or WPA2 settings.
WARNING:
If you use a wireless computer to configure wireless security
settings, you are disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure
your wireless computer to match the new settings, or access the
wireless access point from a wired computer to make further
changes.
To configure and enable a security profile:
1.
Select
Configuration > Security > Profile Settings
.
The Profile Settings screen for the 802.11b/bg/ng modes displays eight wireless security
profiles. (If the 2.4 GHz radio is disabled, the Enable column is masked out.)
