Chapter 3 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time
Protecting Your Wireless LAN
Note You can restore the access point to its factory defaults by unplugging the power jack and
plugging it back in while holding down the Mode button for a few seconds, or until the Status
LED turns amber.
Default Settings on the Express Setup Page
Table 3-1 lists the default settings for the settings on the Express Setup page.
Protecting Your Wireless LAN
After you assign basic settings to your access point, you must configure security settings to prevent
unauthorized access to your network. Because it is a radio device, the access point can communicate
beyond the physical boundaries of your building. Configure some combination of these security features
to protect your network from intruders:
• Unique SSIDs that are not broadcast in the access point beacon (see Cisco IOS Software
Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points)
• WEP and additional WEP features, such as TKIP and broadcast key rotation (see Cisco IOS Software
Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points)
