Appendix C: Configuring Security Settings On Wireless Clients
Configuring A Client To Access An Unsecure Network (Plain-text Mode)
Use this dialog for configuring all the different types of client security described in
the following sections. Make sure that the Wireless Network Properties dialog you
are working in pertains to the Network Name (SSID) for the network you want to
reach on the wireless client you are configuring.
C.4 Configuring A Client To Access An Unsecure Network
(Plain-text Mode)
If the access point or wireless network to which you want to connect is configured
as “Plain-text” security mode (no security), you need to configure the client accord-
ingly. A client using no security to connect is configured with Network Authentica-
tion Open to that network and Data Encryption Disabled, as described below.
If you do have security configured on a client for properties of an unsecure network,
the security settings actually can prevent successful access to the network because
of the mismatch between client and access point security configurations.
