Verifying Wireless Connectivity (With Security)
Using a Client PC with an 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n wireless adapter with the correct wireless and
security settings for connection to the VPN firewall (SSID, WEP/WPA settings, and so on), verify
connectivity by using a browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer to browse the
Internet, or check for file and printer access on your network.
The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID configured in the VPN firewall. If
they do not match, no wireless connection will be made.
Deploying the VPN Firewall
Once you deploy your firewall in its final location, retest the VPN firewall to ensure it is still
operating properly.
To deploy the VPN firewall:
1. Disconnect the VPN firewall and position it where it will be deployed.
The best location is elevated, such as, on the top of a cubicle or wall mounted at the center of
your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices.
2. Position the antennas for the best coverage in your situation.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the WAN connection on your VPN firewall to a LAN port on
your router, switch, or hub.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on your VPN firewall to a LAN port on your
switch.
5. Connect the power adapter to the VPN firewall and plug the power adapter in to a AC power
outlet. The PWR, Test, LAN, WAN, and Wireless LAN LEDs should light up.
6. Verify that you still have wireless connections to the VPN firewall.
Note: If you are unable to connect, see Chapter 11, “Troubleshooting.”
Note: For information about antenna positioning, see “Wireless Equipment
Placement and Range Guidelines” on page 4-2.
