Appendix C - PC and Server Configuration
Overview
All wireless stations need to have settings that match the wireless access point. These settings
depend on the mode in which the access point is being used.
•
If using WEP or WPA2-PSK, it is only necessary to ensure that each wireless station's
settings match those of the wireless access point, as described below.
•
For 802.1x modes, configuration is much more complex. The RADIUS server must be
configured correctly, and setup of each wireless station is also more complex.
Using WEP
For each of the following items, each wireless station must have the same settings as the wireless
access point.
Mode
On each PC, the mode must be set to Infrastructure.
SSID (ESSID)
This must match the value used on the wireless access point.
The default value is LinksysSMB24G for radio 1 and LinksysSMB5G for radio 2.
Note—The SSID is case sensitive.
Wireless
Security
•

The key values on the PC must match the key values on the access point.
Note—One set of WEP keys is supported per radio.
