Wireless Setup
Allow wireless connections to the optional interface
1. To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP address
of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
2. From the navigation bar, select Network > Optional. Select the Wireless tab.
3. Select the Enable wireless bridge to Optional Network check box to enable the Edge optional
interface as a wireless access point. Any wireless clients on the optional network will have full access to
computers on the optional network, and access to the Internet as defined in the outgoing firewall rules
on your Edge.
If the wireless client sets the IP address on its wireless network card with DHCP, the DHCP server on the Edge’s
optional network must be active and configured.
4. To configure the Edge wireless interface to send and answer SSID requests, select the Broadcast SSID
and respond to SSID queries check box.
5. Select the Log Authentication Events check box if you want the Edge to send a log message to the
log file each time a wireless computer tries to connect to the Edge optional interface.
6. In the Network name (SSID) text box, type a unique name for your Edge wireless optional network or
use the default name.
7. To change the fragmentation threshold, type a value in the Fragmentation Threshold field. The
possible values are 256 through 2346. We do not recommend you change this setting.
