Basic Configuration
33
a. Enter the Extended Services Set Identification (ESSID) and name associated with the
WLAN.
b. Use the Available On checkboxes to define whether the target WLAN is operating over
the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio. Ensure the radio selected has been enabled
(see step 8).
8. Once the WLAN’s radio designations have been made, the radio must be configured in
respect to intended 2.4 or 5 GHz radio traffic and the antennas used. Refer to Network
Configuration -> Wireless -> Radio Configuration -> Radio1 (or Radio2), and
configure the Radio Settings field (at a minimum). If you know the radio’s Properties,
Performance and Beacon Settings, those fields can also be defined at this time.
Define the Channel Settings, Power Level and 802.11 mode in respect to the 2.4 or 5 GHz
802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n radio traffic and anticipated gain of the antennas.
9. Click Apply to save any changes to the Quick Setup screen. Navigating away from the
screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost, unless you use
the Un-applied Changes pop-up window to overwrite the current settings.
10. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the
settings displayed on the Quick Setup screen to the last saved configuration.
CAUTION Only a qualified wireless network administrator should set the access
point radio configuration. Refer to the AP-7131 Series Product
Reference Guide for an understanding of the configurable values
involved and their implications. To access the guide, go to
http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do
.
NOTE Even an access point configured with minimal values must protect its data
against theft and corruption. A security policy should be configured for
WLAN1 as part of the basic configuration outlined in this guide. A security
policy can be configured for the WLAN from within the Quick Setup
screen. Policies can be defined over time and saved to be used as needed
as the access point’s security requirements change. Motorola
recommends you familiarize yourself with the security options available
on the access point before defining a security policy.
