Wireless Module for the UTM9S
570
ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance
Test Basic Wireless Connectivity
After you have configured the wireless module as explained in the previous sections, test
your wireless clients for connectivity before you place the UTM9S at its permanent position.
 To test for wireless connectivity:
1. Configure the 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n wireless clients so that they all have the same
SSID that you have configured on the wireless access point. Make sure that the wireless
mode on the wireless access point supports the wireless capacity of the wireless clients.
(For example, 802.11b-compliant devices cannot connect to the wireless access point if
the wireless mode is set to ng.)
2. Verify that your wireless clients have a link to the wireless access point. If you have enabled
the DHCP server on the UTM9S (see Configure a VLAN Profile on page 96) and have
assigned a VLAN to the wireless access point, verify that your wireless clients are able to
obtain an IP address through DHCP from the UTM9S.
3. Verify network connectivity by using a browser such as Internet Explorer 6.0 or later or
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later to browse the Internet, or check for file and printer access on your
network.
If you have trouble connecting to the wireless module, try to connect without security by
selecting OPEN from the Security drop-down list on the Edit Profiles screen. If that does not
help you to solve the connection problem, see Chapter 12, Troubleshooting and Using Online
Support.
