3.4.1 Configuring Basic Security

For testing basic connectivity, there is no reason to configure a server supported authentication

scheme. WPA2/CCMP is described in this guide as a basic security scheme sufficient to protect the

AP-7131N-FGR’s initial transmissions. For details on configuring other authentication and encryption

options available to the access point, refer to the AP-7131N-FGR Access Point Product Reference

Guide. The guide is available on the Motorola Web site, at

https://support.symbol.com/support/product/FIPS_and_CC_Compliant_Products.html

To configure WPA2/CCMP:

1. From the Quick Setup screen, click the Create button to the right of the Security Policy item.

The

New Security Policy screen displays with the Manually Pre-shared key/No

authentication

and No Encryption options selected. Naming and saving such a policy (as is)

would provide no security and might only make sense in a guest network wherein no

sensitive data is either transmitted or received. Consequently, at a minimum, a basic

security scheme (in this case, WPA2/CCMP is recommended.

2. Ensure the

Name of the security policy suits the intended configuration of the policy.

Multiple WLANs can share the same security policy, so be careful not to name security

policies after specific WLANs or risk defining a WLAN to single policy. Motorola

recommends naming the policy after the attributes of the authentication or encryption

type selected.

NOTE A VPN tunnel must also be established to ensure the access point is using

a secure connection to the external server providing NTP, syslog or Radius

resources. For more information, see “

Defining an IPSec VPN Tunnel”

on page 34.

NOTE For information on configuring other encryption and authentication

options available to the access point, refer to the AP-7131N-FGR Access
