You can operate your system as an access point and therefore connect individual work sta-
tions (e.g. laptops, PCs with wireless card or wireless adapter) by wireless connections to
your local network via WLAN (Wireless LAN) and let them communicate with each other.
The table “Data for the Wireless LAN configuration” shows the information required.
As data can be transmitted over the air in the WLAN, this data can in theory be intercepted
and read by any attacker with the appropriate resources. Particular attention must therefore
be paid to protecting the wireless connection.
Note the following:
• Follow the security instructions when configuring your WLAN.
