Verifying
the
Installation
Make
sure
the
access
point
is
connected
to
the
LAN
and
associate
some
wireless
clients
with
the
network.
Once
you
have
tested
the
basics
of
your
wireless
network,
you
can
enable
more
security
and
fine
‐
tune
the
AP
by
modifying
advanced
configuration
features.
1.
Connect
the
access
point
to
the
LAN.
• If
you
configured
the
access
point
and
administrator
PC
by
connecting
both
into
a
network
hub,
then
your
access
point
is
already
connected
to
the
LAN.
The
next
step
is
to
test
some
wireless
clients.
• If
you
configured
the
access
point
by
using
a
direct
cable
connection
from
your
computer
to
the
access
point,
do
the
following
procedures:
a. Disconnect
the
cable
from
the
computer
and
the
access
point.
b. Connect
an
Ethernet
cable
from
the
access
point
to
the
LAN.
c. Connect
your
computer
to
the
LAN
by
using
an
Ethernet
cable
or
a
wireless
card.
2.
Test
LAN
connectivity
with
wireless
clients.
Test
the
UAP
by
trying
to
detect
it
and
associate
with
it
from
some
wireless
client
devices.
For
information
about
requirements
for
these
clients,
see
“Wireless
Client
Requirements”
on
page
17
.
3.
Secure
and
configure
the
access
point
by
using
advanced
features.
Once
the
wireless
network
is
up
and
you
can
connect
to
the
AP
with
some
wireless
clients,
you
can
add
in
layers
of
security,
create
multiple
virtual
access
points
(VAPs),
and
configure
performance
settings.
By
default,
no
security
is
in
place
on
the
access
point,
so
any
wireless
client
can
associate
with
it
and
access
your
LAN.
An
important
next
step
is
to
configure
security,
as
described
in
“Virtual
Access
Point
Settings”
on
page
70
.
Note:
The
WLAN
AP
is
not
designed
for
multiple,
simultaneous
configuration
changes.
If
more
than
one
administrator
is
logged
onto
the
Administration
Web
pages
and
making
changes
to
the
configuration,
there
is
no
guarantee
that
all
configuration
changes
specified
by
multiple
users
will
be
applied.
