CAUTION! If your wireless network is using EAP/external RADIUS server for client
authentication and you have Windows Vista clients, make sure that they are
upgraded to Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1). SP1 includes fixes for client authentication
issues when using EAP/external RADIUS server.
If You Change the Internal WLAN to WEP or 802.1X
If you replace the default configuration of the internal WLAN, your users must
reconfigure the wireless LAN connection settings on their devices. This process is
described in detail below and can be performed when logging into the WLAN as a
new user.
If Switching to WEP-based Security
1 Each user should be able to repeat the Zero-IT Wireless Activation process and
install the WEP key by executing the activation script.
2 Alternatively, they can manually enter the WEP key text into their wireless device
connection settings.
If Switching to 802.1X-based Security
1 ( Applies only to the use of the built-in EAP server. ) Each user should be able to
repeat the Zero-IT Wireless Activation process and download the certificates and
an activation script generated by ZoneDirector.
2 Each user must first install certificates to his/her computer.
3 Each user must then execute the activation script, in order to configure the
correct wireless setting on his/her computer.
4 To manually configure 802.1X/EAP settings for non-EAP capable client use, use
the wireless settings generated by ZoneDirector.

For example, if your wireless network covers three building floors (1st Floor to 3rd
Floor) and you need to provide wireless access to visitors on the 1st Floor, you can
do the following:
