Configuring the Wireless LAN Settings
To connect wireless clients to the Access Point using the default startup
configuration settings, you will need to reconfigure the wireless clients so that the
following parameters are the same as the Access Point:
SSID (Service Set ID) setting, see Configuring the SSID
All wireless clients that you want to communicate with the Access Point must
have the same SSID as the Access Point.
Privacy setting (optional, if enabled), see Configuring the Privacy Setting
If the Privacy Setting is set to Plain, wireless clients can communicate freely
with the Access Point.
Channel setting (optional, if enabled), see Configuring the Channel Setting
If the Channel Setting is set to Auto, wireless clients can automatically select
the correct communications channel.
Configuring the SSID
The Service Set ID (SSID) is a group name that is shared by every computer on a
wireless network. To set up the SSID for the Access Point:
1.
In the Access Point Configuration dialog box, click the Wireless tab.
2.
Click Change SSID.
3.
In the New SSID dialog box, in the SSID box, enter the wireless LAN group
name, and then click OK.
The SSID must be the same
for each client computer so
that they can establish a
connection with each other
on the network.
