Using Quick setup
Wireless communities
The M210 allows you to create up to four wireless communities. Each wireless community
defines the settings for a distinct wireless network, with its own network name (SSID), settings
for wireless protection, user authentication, VLANs, and more. Radio settings are shared by all
wireless communities.
If you selected the
Basic wireless network
environment, you cannot configure additional
wireless communities on the
Quick setup
page—this configuration assumes that only one
wireless network is needed. You can later configure additional communities on the
Wireless
>
Communities
page.
A default wireless community is defined on the M210. Its name (or SSID) is
HP
and it is
assigned to VLAN 1. The settings that initially display in the Wireless community settings
pertain to the default community.
Note
Before creating a new community, ensure that the name (SSID), VLAN, and security settings for
the default community are configured as needed.
To create a new community:
1. Select
Add New Wireless Community
.
An additional row displays in the wireless community table. The fields in the
Wireless
community settings
area display default values for the new community.
2. Modify the default values, if necessary. See
Wireless community settings
for a description
of these fields.
3. Select
Add
.
4. Select
Save
to accept the default settings in the
Wireless community settings
area,
or modify the settings and select
Add
, then
Save
.
If you select
Cancel
before selecting
Add
, the new wireless community will be deleted.
If you change these settings after saving a new wireless community, select
Update
, then
Save
. You can select
Cancel
before selecting
Update
to undo any changes to these
settings.
Wireless community settings
These settings apply to the default wireless community or, if you have created multiple
communities, the wireless community selected in the table. After you select
Save
, you can use
the
Wireless
>
Communities
page if you want to update these settings.
Identify the wireless network
Use this section to define a name for the wireless community.
Network name (SSID)
Specify a name to uniquely identify the wireless network associated with this community. Each
wireless user that wants to connect to this community must use the network name.
By default, the M210 will broadcast this name so that wireless users can see it when they try to
connect to the wireless network.
