• Station Separation: If you enable this option, clients that connect to this access point will no longer be
able to communicate directly with each other. (This is also known as layer 2 isolation.)
• Wireless Security – Type: Security is disabled by default. To enable wireless security, select an option
from the drop-down menu. For detailed information on configuring the security features of the W7x, such
as WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA Mixed, WPA-PSK Mixed, WPA2, and WPA2-PSK, see the next section. When you
select a wireless security option from the drop-down menu, the configuration options for that mode
appear on the page. (For details on setting the security options, see the next section.)
• Click “Save” to update your changes. The SSID profile window will close and you need to click on “Accept”
under the Network Settings to update the configuration.
NOTE: For any changes to take effect, you must click the “Save Changes” button on the lower left below
the menu. This will reboot the access point, applying the configuration changes.
WIRELESS SECURITY
When you select a wireless security Type, as described at the end of the previous section, the
configuration options for that mode appear (See the figure below). The following sections describe the available
options, depending on the type of security you have chosen.
WEP
In the SSID Profile page, under Wireless Security, choose a wireless security protocol Type from the drop-
down list. For example, if your wireless network uses WEP encryption, choose WEP from the drop-down list. (WEP
is an acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a protocol that offers the same level of security for wireless networks
as for wired networks.)
