Checking Basic Settings
Checking Basic Settings
Mismatched basic settings are the most common causes of lost connectivity with wireless clients. If the
access point does not communicate with client devices, check the following areas.
SSID
Wireless clients attempting to associate with the access point must use the same SSID as the access point.
If a client device’s SSID does not match the SSID of an access point in radio range, the client device will
not associate. The access point default SSID is tsunami.
WEP Keys
The WEP key you use to transmit data must be set up exactly the same on your access point and any
wireless devices with which it associates. For example, if you set WEP Key 3 on your client adapter to
0987654321 and select it as the transmit key, you must also set WEP Key 3 on the access point to exactly
the same value. The access point does not need to use Key 3 as its transmit key, however.
Refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for instructions
on setting the access point’s WEP keys.
