10 What to Do Next
The following are some of the post-installation tasks that Ruckus Wireless recommends.
Refer to the ZoneFlex 2741 802.11g Outdoor Access Point User Guide for more information
on configuring and managing the Access Point.
Change the Administrative Password
Management access to the Web interface of the Access Point is controlled through
administrative user name and password. Make sure you change the default administrative
user name and password as soon as you complete the Access Point setup. This will help
prevent unauthorized users from logging in to the Access Point’s Web interface and
changing the access point settings to compromise your network.
Configure the Security Settings
Unlike wired networks, anyone with a compatible wireless adapter can receive wireless
data transmissions from your network well beyond your walls. To prevent unauthorized
users from entering your wireless network and accessing your computers and files, Ruckus
Wireless strongly recommends enabling and configuring wireless security on the Access
Point. The Access Point supports several types of encryption and authentication methods
to help prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network.
