WaveLAN Security Options
Introduction
6-4 WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 PC Card User’s Guide
2. Enter the MAC Address of these cards into an Access Control
Table file.
3. Load the Access Control Table file into all WavePOINT-II
access points that belong to the network infrastructure.
With the Access Control file loaded, the WavePOINT-II access
points will:
■ Only forward wireless data to/from “Authorized Stations” that
are identified in the Access Control table file, and
■ Ignore all request to forward data from/to stations that use a
WaveLAN card of which the MAC Address is not listed in the
Access Control table file.
Consult your LAN Administrator to verify whether your network
infrastructure uses the WavePOINT-II Access Control feature. If
this is the case, the LAN Administrator should add the MAC
Address of your card to the Access Control Table.
The MAC Address of your WaveLAN card is printed on a label on
the back-side of your WaveLAN card.
Wireless Data Encryption 6
If you would like to add an extra security layer to your wireless
communication, you can optionally install a WaveLAN IEEE 802.11
system that supports wireless data encryption.
Two types of WaveLAN PC Cards allow you to build such a
system:
■ WaveLAN/IEEE Silver Label Cards (described on page 1-6).
■ WaveLAN/IEEE Gold Label Cards (described on page 1-7).
To install such a system, all devices in your wireless network, must
be equipped with WaveLAN/IEEE PC Cards that support
encryption.
