9.9 Wireless Local Area Networks
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the device to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before
using the device on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN
(sometimes known as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the device must both be properly configured to
enable this communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches,
Radius servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the
Wireless &
networks
