Basic Advanced TCP/IP Wireless
Setting Up Your Wireless LAN (WLAN)
You can use the
VT2500
as an
access point
for a wireless LAN (WLAN) without changing its default settings.
To enable security for your WLAN, you can do the following on the
VT2500
:
Connect at least one computer to the
VT2500
Ethernet port to perform configuration. Do not attempt to configure
the
VT2500
over a wireless connection.
You need to configure each wireless client (station) to access the
VT2500
LAN as described in “
Configuring the
Wireless Clients
”
.
For descriptions of all wireless configuration fields, see “
Wireless Pages in the VT2500 Setup Program
”.
Another step to improve wireless security is to place wireless components away from windows. This decreases
the signal strength outside the intended area.
Caution!
To prevent unauthorized eavesdropping or access to WLAN data, you must enable wireless security. The
default
VT2500
settings provide no wireless security. After your WLAN is operational, be sure to enable
wireless security.
