Creating/Editing Individual WLANs
If the WLANs displayed within the Wireless Configuration screen do not satisfy your network
requirements, you can either create a new WLAN or edit the properties of an existing WLAN.
NOTE
Before editing the properties of an existing WLAN, ensure it is not being used by an Altitude 35xx radio, or
is a WLAN that is needed in its current configuration. Once updated, the previous configuration is not available
unless saved.
CAUTION
When using the access point’s hotspot functionality, ensure MUs are re-authenticated when changes are
made to the characteristics of a hotspot enabled WLAN, as MUs within the WLAN will be dropped from device
association.
Use the New WLAN and Edit WLAN screens as required to create/modify a WLAN. To create a new
WLAN or edit the properties of an existing WLAN:
1 Select Network Configuration > Wireless from the Altitude 35xx menu tree.
The Wireless Configuration screen displays.
2 Click the Create button to configure a new WLAN, or highlight a WLAN and click the Edit button to
modify an existing WLAN. Either the New WLAN or Edit WLAN screen displays.
