Wireless Access Point Conguration
General
Wireless Setup allows your computer’s PC Card to communicate with
the access point. Once you have completed wireless access point congu-
ration, you can complete the rest of the conguration wirelessly unless
you will be employing the FIPS 140-2 secure mode, assuming that you
have installed and congured a wireless PC card on your computer. (If
you have not done so, you will have to do that to establish communica-
tions. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to set up the PC Card on
each wireless device that will be part of the WLAN.)
NOTE: The 3e–527A3 is always in FIPS 140-2 secure mode, there-
fore your conguration will have to be accomplished through the
LAN port due to the secure nature of the access point. There is no
direct access from wireless clients.
The Wireless Access Point — General screen lists the MAC Address
of the AP card. This is not the MAC Address that will be used for the BS-
SID for bridging setup, however. That is found on the Wireless Bridge
— Radio screen.
If you will be using an SSID for a wireless LAN, enter it here and in
the setup of each wireless client. This nomenclature has to be set on the
access point and each wireless device in order for them to communicate.
