VAP Data

Enter the desired settings for each of the following:

VAP Name

Enter a suitable name for this VAP.

SSID

Enter the desired SSID. Each VAP must have a unique SSID.

Broadcast SSID

If Disabled, no SSID is broadcast.

If enabled, the SSID will then be broadcast to all Wireless Stations.

Stations which have no SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the

correct SSID for connections to this Access Point.

Isolation within

VAP

If enabled, then each Wireless station using the Access Point is

invisible to other Wireless stations. In most business stations, this

setting should be Disabled.

Security Settings

Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected method.

The available options are:

x None - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network.

x WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption

system is not very strong.

x WPA-PSK - Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than

WEP, and should be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each

Wireless station. The 256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes fre-

quently.
