If you chose B/G/N-Mixed, N-Only, or G/N Mixed, in the

Wireless Band Selection

field, select the wireless bandwidth on your network (

20MHz

or

20/40MHz

). If

you chose N-Only, you must use WPA2 security on your network. See

Configuring

the Security Mode

.

STEP

5

In the

Wireless Channel

field, choose the wireless channel from the drop-down

menu.

STEP

6

In the

AP Management VLAN

field, choose

VLAN 1

if you are using the default

settings.

If you create additional VLANs, choose a value that corresponds with the VLAN

configured on other switches in the network. This is done for security purposes.

You might need to change the management VLAN to limit access to Device

Manager.

STEP

7

(Optional) In the

U-APSD (WMM Power Save)

field, check

Enable

to enable the

Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD) feature, also referred to as

WMM Power Save, which allows the radio to conserve power.

U-APSD is a power-saving scheme optimized for real-time applications, such as

VoIP, transferring full-duplex data over WLAN. By classifying outgoing IP traffic as

voice data, these types of applications can increase battery life by approximately

25% and minimize transmit delays.

STEP

8

(Optional) Configure the settings of the four wireless networks (see

Editing

Wireless Network Settings

).

STEP

Configuring the Security Mode

You can configure one of the following security modes for wireless networks:

Configuring WEP

The WEP security mode offers weak security with a basic encryption method that

is not as secure as WPA. WEP may be required if your network devices do not

support WPA.

NOTE

If you do not have to use WEP, we recommend that you use WPA2. If you are using

the Wireless-N only mode, you must use WPA2.

Enable SSID

Click

On

to enable the network.

SSID Name

Enter the name of the network.

SSID Broadcast

Check this box to enable SSID broadcast. If

SSID broadcast is enabled, the wireless router

advertises its availability to wireless-equipped

devices in the range of the router.

Security Mode

See

Configuring the Security Mode

.

MAC Filter

See

Configuring MAC Filtering

.

VLAN

Choose the VLAN associated with the network.

Wireless Isolation with SSID

Check this box to enable wireless isolation

within the SSID.

WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)

Check this box to enable WMM.

Max Associated Clients

The maximum number of clients that can

connect to the selected wireless network. Enter

a number between 1 and 64.

WPS

Check this box to map the device WPS button

on the front panel to this network.

To configure the WEP security mode:

STEP 1

Choose

Wireless

>

Basic Settings

. In the

Wireless Table

, check the box for the

network you want to configure.

STEP

2

Click

Edit Security Mode

. The

Security Settings

page appears.

STEP

3

In the

Select SSID

field, choose the SSID for which to configure the security

settings.

STEP

4

From the

Security Mode

menu, choose

WEP

.

STEP

5

In the

Authentication Type

field, choose one of the following options:

•

Open System

—This is the default option.

•

Shared Key

—Select this option if your network administrator recommends

this setting. If you are unsure, select the default option.

In both cases, the wireless client must provide the correct shared key (password)

to access the wireless network.

STEP

6

In the

Encryption

field, choose the encryption type:

•

10/64-bit(10 hex digits)—

Provides a 40-bit key.

•

26/128-bit(26 hex digits)

—Provides a a 104-bit key, which offers stronger

encryption, making the key more difficult to decipher. We recommend 128-

bit encryption.

STEP

7

(Optional) In the

Passphrase

field, enter an alphanumeric phrase (longer than eight

characters for optimal security) and click

Generate Key

to generate four unique

WEP keys in the

WEP Key

fields.

If you want to provide your own key, enter it directly in the

Key 1

field

(recommended). The length of the key should be 5 ASCII characters (or 10

hexadecimal characters) for 64-bit WEP and 13 ASCII characters (or 26

hexadecimal characters) for 128-bit WEP. Valid hexadecimal characters are 0 to 9

and A to F.

STEP

8

In the

TX Key

field, choose which key to use as the shared key that devices must

use to access the wireless network.

STEP

9

Click

Configuring WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, and WPA2-Personal Mixed

The WPA Personal, WPA2 Personal, and the WPA2 Personal Mixed security

modes offer strong security to replace WEP.

•

WPA-Personal

—WPA is part of the wireless security standard (802.11i)

standardized by the Wi-Fi Alliance and was intended as an intermediate

measure to take the place of WEP while the 802.11i standard was being

prepared. WPA-Personal supports Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)

and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.

•

WPA2-Personal

—(Recommended) WPA2 is the implementation of the

security standard specified in the final 802.11i standard. WPA2 supports

AES encryption and this option uses Preshared Key (PSK) for

authentication.

•

WPA2-Personal Mixed

—Allows both WPA and WPA2 clients to connect

simultaneously using PSK authentication.

The personal authentication is the PSK that is an alphanumeric passphrase shared

with the wireless peer.

To configure the WPA Personal security mode:

STEP 1

In the

Wireless Table

(

Wireless

>

Basic Settings

), check the box for the network

you want to configure.

STEP

2

Click

Edit Security Mode

. The

Security Settings

page appears.

STEP

3

In the

Select SSID

field, choose the SSID for which to configure the security

settings.

STEP

4

From the

Security Mode

menu, choose one of the three WPA Personal options.

STEP

5

(WPA-Personal only) In the

Encryption

field, choose one of the following options:

•

TKIP/AES

—Choose

TKIP/AES

to ensure compatibility with older wireless

devices that may not support AES.

•

AES

—This option is more secure.

STEP

6

In the

Security Key

field, enter an alphanumeric phrase (8–63 ASCII characters or

64 hexadecimal digits). The password strength meter shows how secure the key

is: below minimum, weak, strong, very strong, or secure. We recommend using a

security key that registers on the strength meter as secure.

STEP

7

To show the security key as you are entering it, check the Unmask Password box.
