Configuring SonicOS for 400 Series
SonicWave Access Points
You only need to complete three simple configuration tasks in SonicOS to prepare your SonicWave access point
to provide secure wireless access.
1 Configuring the Network Interface
2 Configuring the WLAN Zone
3 Configuring the 400 Series Access Point Settings
Configuring the Network Interface
Each SonicWave or group of SonicWaves must be connected to a physical network interface that is configured in
a wireless zone. SonicOS provides a standard wireless zone (WLAN) which can be applied to any available
interface.
To configure the network interface in SonicOS:
1 Log into SonicOS as an administrator (default: admin / password).
2 In the MANAGE view, navigate to the System Setup | Network > Interfaces page and click Configure for
the interface to which your SonicWave is connected.
3 Select WLAN zone for the Zone type.
4 Select Static IP Mode for the Mode/IP Assignment.
5 In the IP Address field, type in any private IP address that does not interfere with the IP address range of
any other interfaces on the appliance.
6Enter a Subnet Mask. The default is 255.255.255.0.
7 Use the default settings or select appropriate settings for the other fields and then click OK.
NOTE: For addition information, see the online help with your firewall.
CAUTION: Allowing Management and User Login to the appliance from a wireless zone can pose a
security threat if you or your users have not set strong passwords.
