The default security ID is NORANDOWL.
All WLIF access points and wireless stations in the network
must have the same security ID to communicate. The
security ID is case sensitive. That is, if the access point’s
security ID is in uppercase, the wireless station’s must also
be in uppercase. Refer to the wireless station’s user guide
for more information about setting its security ID.
Node Type
Node Type determines if this radio is a Master to which
wireless stations attach, or is a Slave radio that must
attach to a Master. Configuration of a WLIF radio as a
Slave is necessary if the access point is configured as a
wireless access point, or the designated bridge for a
secondary LAN.
Configuration as a wireless access point requires
installation of two WLIF radios: one Master and one Slave.
The Master radio services stations local to the wireless
access point. The Slave radio provides communications
between the wireless access point and the network
infrastructure. Figure 4-4 on page 4-65 shows a network
example.
Node Type options are:
