Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex 2925/2942/7942 User Guide | After the Installation (Post-Installation Setup)

The Configure::Wireless::Wireless (#) workspace appears.

3 Make the following entries:

Wireless Availability This option controls whether or not the wireless network is

available to users (Off or On).

Broadcast SSID This option controls whether or not the hotspot SSID is visible to

anyone looking for wireless networks. Disabling (hiding) the SSID

requires the user must be told the correct SSID before they can

connect to your network.

SSID This is the publicly-broadcast “name” of your wireless network.

A default SSID is present (which you ideally replaced in the

installation process). If the default SSID is still active, it is

strongly recommended that you change it. An effective SSID

somehow indicates your location or group name. The “name”

can be up to 32 characters in length, containing letters and

numbers, and is case-sensitive.

Threshold Settings This button opens a workspace where you can configure the Pro-

tection Mode you activated in the Wireless::Common work-

space. If Protection Mode is not active, ignore this option.

For more information, see “Setting Threshold Options” on

page26.

Encryption Method By default, all data exchanges in your wireless network are not

encrypted, but you can pick an encryption method in this

option, and use the extra workspace features that appear to

fine-tune the encryption.

For more information, see either “Customizing Wireless WEP

Encryption” on page29 or “Customizing Wireless WPA Encryp-

tion” on page30.
