Chapter 4: Configuring Wireless Access
Change a Virtual Access Point's Settings
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 Edit.
5. Enter a unique AP Name to identify the VAP.
Note: This name identifies the VAP on the Configuration pages, but is not
broadcast.
6. In the SSID field, enter a case sensitive, alphanumeric name that identifies this VAP in a
wireless access list.
A maximum of 32 characters are allowed.
Note: All devices that attempt to connect to this VAP must have the same SSID.
7. In the Security field, select a security method for the wireless network:
l Open - This method requires no authentication to connect to the wireless device
and provides no data encryption.
Note: This is the least secure option and is NOT recommended.
l WPA - This method uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to connect to
the wireless device.
l This security method generates a new 128-bit key for each packet the device
transmits.
l Enter the security password in the Security Key field.
Important: All other devices that access this device must use the key
entered in the WPA field.
l WPA2 - This method uses CCMP, a strong AES encryption method, for securing
data over the network providing stronger security than WPA.
l Enter the security password in the Security Key field.
Important: All other devices that access this device must use the key
entered in the WPA2 field.
