WG102-500, WGAP150 ProSafe™ 802.11g Wireless Access Point
network authentication setting above (otherwise, the default is None). The data
encryption settings are explained in
“Creating and Editing Security Profiles” on page 37.
Wireless Client Security Separation
If enabled, the associated wireless clients (using the same SSID) will not be able to
communicate with each other. This feature is useful for hotspots and other public access
situations. By default, wireless client separation is disabled. For more information, see
“Configuring Wireless Client Separation” on page 58.
VLAN ID
If enabled and if the network devices (hubs and switches) on your LAN support the VLAN
(802.1Q) standard, the default VLAN ID for the wireless access point will be associated
with each profile. The default VLAN ID must match the IDs that are used by the other
network devices. This feature is available only when the AP Mode is set to Bridge (see
“Configuring Basic Wireless Network Settings” on page 27).
Some concepts and guidelines regarding the SSID are explained below:
A Basic Service Set (BSS) is a group of wireless stations and a single wireless access
point, all using the same SSID.
An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a group of wireless stations and multiple wireless
access points, all using the same ID (ESSID).
Different wireless access points within an ESS can use different channels. To reduce
interference, adjacent wireless access points should use different channels.
Roaming is the ability of wireless stations to connect wirelessly when they physically
move from one BSS to another within the same ESS. The wireless station automatically
changes to the wireless access point with the least interference or best performance.
Before You Change the SSID, WEP, and WPA Settings
For a new wireless network, print or copy this form and fill in the settings. For an existing
wireless network, the network administrator can provide this information. Be sure to set the
Country/Region correctly as the first step. Store this information in a safe place.
SSID: The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the wireless local area network.
You may customize it by using up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Write your SSID on the
line.
SSID: ___________________________________
Note: The SSID in the wireless access point is the SSID you configure in
the wireless adapter card. All wireless nodes in the same network
must be configured with the same SSID:
WEP Key Size, Key Format Passphrase, and Authentication
Choose the key size by circling one: 64, 128, or 152 bits.
