User’s Guide for the WAB102 802.11a+b Dual Band Wireless Access Point

Setting Up Basic Wireless Connectivity

Security Configuration

To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over

the network, the Security screen of the AP Setup offers use of an authentication

protocol as well as data encryption, known as WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).

For a step-by-step treatment of security setup, see “Enabling Basic Wireless

Access Security Features“ on page 34.

1. Use a browser to connect to the WAB102.

2. Click Security on the AP Setup menu and log in.

3. Choose Your Authentication Method

To set authentication for either the 802.11a or 802.11b band, select the Open

System or Shared Key Authentication Type by selecting the radio button.

All other devices using this band must share this setting. Shared Key

operation offers a step up in security over Open System operation.

Note: The access point can be configured for Open System authentication but

still have active encryption on the same band.
