Step 7: Enable Wireless LANs (WLANs)
The WS2000 Wireless Switch works either in a wired or wireless environment; however, the power of the
switch is associated with its support of wireless networks. In order to use the wireless features of the
switch, the administrator needs to enable up to four wireless LANs (WLANs).
To start the WLAN configuration process, select the Network Configuration --> Wireless item from the
left menu. The following Wireless summary screen appears.
Wireless Summary Area
The top portion of the window displays a summary of the WLANs that are currently defined. This is the
screen in which the administrator can enable or disable a WLAN. At first, eight WLANs are listed WLAN1,
WLAN2, WLAN3, WLAN4, WLAN5, WLAN6, WLAN7 and WLAN8; however, only WLAN1 is enabled.
1. Verify that WLAN1 is enabled (checked) and associated with Subnet1.
CHAP A type of authentication in which the user logging in uses a secret information and some special
mathematical operations to calculate a numerical value. The server, the user is logging into, knows
the same secret value and performs the same mathematical operations to arrive at a value. If the
values match, the user is authorized to access the server. One of the numbers used in the
mathematical operation is changed after every log-in. This is to protect the server against an intruder
secretly copying a valid authentication session and replaying it later to log in.
PAP An identity verification method used to send a username and password over a network to a computer
that compares the username and password to a table listing authorized users. This method of
authentication is less secure, because the username and password travel as clear text that a hacker
could read and use to launch an attack.
