To connect wireless devices to
the AirStation, you may either
enter the SSID and encryption key
manually, or you can use AOSS.
For more information on AOSS, see
pages 14 and 15.
Consult your wireless clients’
manuals for instructions on
configuring them manually. You
can get SSID and encryption
information from the AirStation’s
Connecting Wireless Clients to the Access Point
initial setup screen, as shown above. By default, encryption is
not enabled
(“open”).
If you prefer to use encryption and/or a different SSID, you may change these
default settings under the
Wireless Config
Tab.
