9.6 Wireless LAN Configuration
To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless
Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings, as
follows:
Mode
On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to
"Infrastructure".
(The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure"
mode.)
SSID
(ESSID)
Wireless Stations should use the same SSID
(ESSID) as the Access Point they wish to connect
to. Alternatively, the SSID can be set to "any" or null
(blank) to allow connection to any Access Point.
Wireless
Security
The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must
use the same settings for Wireless security. (None,
WEP, WPA-PSK).
WEP: If WEP is used, the Key size (64Bit, 128Bit),
Key value, and Authentication settings must be the
same on the Wireless Stations and the Access
Point.
WPA-PSK: If WPA-PSK is used, all Wireless
Stations must be set to use WPA-PSK, and have the
same Pre-shared Key and encryption system.
For Ad-hoc networks (no Access Point), all
Wireless stations must use the same security
settings.
