Wireless LAN Configuration Wizard

The Ericsson W3x may function as a WLAN Access Point (AP) for the local

network providing wireless client(s) with Internet and LAN access. The

Wireless LAN Configuration Wizard guides you step-by-step through the

basic setup for the Wireless LAN (WLAN).

Note:

The wireless setup typically requires configuration of both the

Ericsson W3x and the wireless clients. For more information about

configuring wireless clients, see 6.2 –

Wireless LAN Settings

.

Click the

Configuration Wizard…

button on the

Overview

page to start the

wizard.

3.3.2

Network Name

All clients on the local wireless network share a common Service Set

IDentifier (SSID) or network name. This name is required to establish

connection between the Ericsson W3x and the wireless client(s), and to

distinguish the wireless network from any other(s) that may be in use

nearby. Only devices configured with the same network name as the one

set on the Ericsson W3x can obtain access to it.

Figure 15 – Wireless LAN: Network Name (SSID) page

The network name is case-sensitive (distinguish between uppercase and

lowercase letters) and can be changed to any combination of numbers (0 –

9), letters (a – z), and hyphens (-) with a maximum length of 32 characters.

If the “Enable SSID broadcast” option is selected, your local wireless

client(s) will find the network name when scanning the air. If not, the

network name is hidden and has to be manually provided to the wireless

client(s).

If you want to change the preconfigured network name (MBR), type a new

name in the “Network name (SSID):” field and also select if the SSID shall

be hidden or not.

3.3.3

Wireless LAN Authentication

All communication on the wireless LAN can be protected from potential

intruders and eavesdroppers through standard authentication and

encryption methods.

Authentication is used to restrict access to the wireless network and

encryption is the translation of data into a form that cannot be easily

understood by unauthorized users. The encrypted data can only be sent

and received by users with access to a private encryption key.

Note:

Make sure that the operating system(s) and Wireless LAN

interface(s) of the wireless client(s) support the selected

authentication method.

Figure 16 – Wireless LAN: Authentication page

Select one of the authentication methods from the “Authentication” drop-

down list. The available options are as follows:

•

Open (No security)

;

f you select “Open” as authentication method no client configuration is

needed but be aware of that the WLAN will now be open without any

kind of security.

•

WEP-64, WEP-128 (Low security)

;

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is considered to be a low security

option. WEP encrypted data is translated into blocks of either 64 bits

length or 128 bits length.

•

WPA, WPA2 (High security)

;

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and its successor WPA2 are the most

reliable security options. WPA encryption uses the Temporal Key

Integrity Protocol (TKIP) while WPA2 encryption follows the Advanced

Encryption Standard (AES). AES offers a higher level of security and is

approved for sensitive corporate and government data transmission.
