an access point (AP). The procedures outlined within the following sections for an 802.11a/b/g card
facilitate a common security configuration to a target access point.
Refer to the Appendix B: Wireless Technology section on page 197 for more information on other security
methods.
After setting up the wireless card parameters, configure the communication parameters for the target Master;
see Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode section on page 33.
