Wireless Settings

5-27

The wireless AP/Router’s wireless interface is configured by default as an “open 
system,” which broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured SSID. Wireless 
clients with a configured SSID of “ANY” can read the SSID from the beacon, and 
automatically set their SSID to allow immediate connection to the wireless network.

To improve wireless network security, you have to implement two main functions:

• Authentication – It must be verified that clients attempting to connect to the network 

are authorized users.

• Traffic Encryption – Data passing between the unit and clients must be protected 

from interception and eavesdropping.

For a more secure network, the wireless AP/Router can implement one or a 
combination of the following security mechanisms:

• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
• IEEE 802.1X
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or WPA2

The security mechanisms that may be employed depend on the level of security 
required, the network and management resources available, and the software 
support provided on wireless clients.

The wireless AP/Router supports two virtual access point (VAP) interfaces referred 
to as WLAN1 and WLAN2. Each VAP functions as a separate access point, and can 
be configured with its own security settings.

Note: WDS settings may only be configured for WLAN1, See “WDS Settings” on 

page 5-33. WLAN2 only operates as an access point service.

Note: Configuring WLAN1 to operate in WDS “Bridge” mode automatically disables 

WLAN2.
