Configuration 802.11 Configuration
4-13
Dedicated Port Host
A dedicated host can be defined for a port using the Change Port [Portlist] Dedicated command. When a
serial user logs in to a dedicated port, the MSS will automatically connect him to the specified host; he
cannot access the MSS Local> prompt. When the connection is closed, the MSS automatically logs him out.
Figure 4-33: Defining a Dedicated Service
Environment strings can be added to the command to change connection characteristics. See the Change
Dedicated command in the MSS Reference Manual for more information.
802.11 Configuration
Note: The MSS does not support PC card hot-swapping. Any time you insert a PC card into an
MSS PC card slot, you must reboot the MSS.
The following parameters should be configured only if you are using the MSS for 802.11 wireless Ethernet
networking and plan to use a wireless LAN PC card in one of the MSS PC card slots. Users in countries
other than the United States must set the Region appropriately before using 802.11.
Not all configuration options will be available on all 802.11 cards. If you try to enter an option that is not
supported by your card, you will receive an Error message.
Note: Even though the MSS4 has two PC card slots, you can only install one 802.11 card. The
card can be installed in either slot.
This section assumes that you understand IEEE 802.11 concepts and architectures. If you do not, please
refer to the IEEE 802.11 standard or the documentation that came with your PC card or Access Point (AP).
Any time you enable or disable 802.11 networking, you must reboot the MSS before the change takes effect.
Any other changes you request with the Change 80211 commands will not take place until you have entered
the Change 80211 Reset command.
802.11 Terms
The following acronyms are used in this section:
AP Access Point, a device that relays communications between one or more wireless
devices and possibly other devices on a network. APs are usually connected to a
physical network.
Note: If you are using an AP and WEP is not enabled, set the AP to accept Open System
Authentication. If WEP is enabled, set the AP to Shared Key Authentication. For more
information about WEP, see the definition below.
