(hostile devices), see Configuring Rogue AP Detection on page 6-42.
6.2 Setting Passwords
Before setting the access point security parameters, verify an administrative password for the access
point has been created to restrict access to the device before advanced device security is configured.
To password protect and restrict access point device access:
1. Connect a wired computer to the access point LAN port using a standard CAT-5 cable.
2. Set up the computer for TCP/IP DHCP network addressing and make sure the DNS settings
are not hardcoded.
NOTE Security for the access point can be configured in various locations
throughout the access point menu structure. This chapter outlines the
security options available to the AP-7131N-FGR, and the menu locations
and steps required to configure specific security measures.
