Configuring DWL-8220AP Access Points
Encryption
Encrypted SSIDs can use the following encryption methods:
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
• Non-WPA dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
• Non-WPA static WEP
Dynamic WEP is enabled by default.
Radio Profiles
You can easily assign radio configuration parameters to many radios by configuring a radio
profile and assigning the profile to the radios. To use a radio, you must assign a profile to the
radio. You can enable the radio when you assign the profile.
The table below summarizes the parameters controlled by radio profiles. Generally, the
only radio parameters controlled by the profile that you need to modify are the SSIDs and,
if applicable, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) settings. The other parameter settings are
standard.
