WavePoint 10e
5. After the connection is established, open a web browser and enter the IP address in the
browser navigation bar.
The IP address was entered in the LAN Setup page.
The Login page is shown when a successful wireless connection has been made.
If there is no connection, see the Internet Connection and Browser Display on page 147
Enabling Virtual Access Points
A Virtual Access Point (VAP) is similar to a VLAN, but in a wireless environment. VAPs are a way to
segment a wireless network so a single AP presents itself in the network as multiple APs.
Connecting wireless Repeaters or Clients see a VAP as a unique and independent AP while it is
actually a single, physical AP in the network.
Using VAPs offer these advantages:
l Differing levels of security across the VAPs.
l Isolate portions of the wireless network.
A single WavePoint 10e can be used for multiple purposes, providing cost savings
and simplicity in designing the network.
Each radio in the WavePoint 10e can have a maximum of three VAPs enabled. Each VAP enabled
on a single radio uses the settings set for the radio in the Wireless LAN > Radios > Basic and
Wireless LAN > Radios > Advanced pages.
Note: Enabling VAPs can impact the overall throughput available for a radio.
Procedure
1. Connect to the WavePoint 10e either through an Ethernet cable connected to Ethernet
port 3 or 4 or through the computer's wireless options.
2. Use a web browser to access the Configuration pages.
3. On the Wireless LAN menu, click Virtual APs.
The table lists the available VAPs for each radio and their status.
4. Right-click a VAP in the list and click Enable.
