appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
Figure 46
Example of a Wireless Network
The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are
called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices
(such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your WAP5705 is the AP.
9.2 What You Can Do
• Use the General screen ( Section 9.4 on page 76 ) to enter the SSID, enable intra-BSS traffic and
select the channel.
• Use the Security screen ( Section 9.5 on page 77 ) to configure wireless security between the
WAP5705 and the wireless clients.
• Use the MAC Filter screen ( Section 9.6 on page 80 ) to allow or deny wireless stations based on
their MAC addresses from connecting to the WAP5705.
