Verifying Wireless Connectivity (Security)
Using a Client PC with an 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n wireless adapter with the correct wireless and
security settings for connection to the SRXN3205 (SSID, WEP/WPA, MAC ACL, etc.), verify
connectivity by using a browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Internet Explorer to browse
the Internet, or check for file and printer access on your network.
The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID configured in the ProSafe
Wireless-N VPN Firewall. If they do not match, no wireless connection will be made.
Deploying the VPN Firewall
Once you deploy your firewall in its final locaion, retest the SRXN3205 to ensure it is still
operating properly.
To deploy the VPN Firewall:
1.
Disconnect the SRXN3205 and position it where it will be deployed.
The best location is elevated, such as, on the top of a cubicle or wall mounted at the center of
your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices.
2.
Position all the antennas for the best coverage in your situation.
3.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the WAN connection on your VPN Firewall to a LAN port on
your router, switch, or hub.
Note:
If you are unable to connect, see
Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting and Debugging
.”
Note:
Refer to the antenna positioning information in
“Wireless Equipment
Placement and Range Guidelines” on page 4-2
earlier in this chapter.
