Overview
In addition to the LAN and DMZ networks, you can define a wireless internal
network called a WLAN (wireless LAN) network, when using Safe@Office 500W.
For information on default security policy rules controlling traffic to and from the
WLAN, see Default Security Policy on page
203.
You can configure a WLAN network in either of the following ways:
• Wireless Configuration Wizard. Guides you through the WLAN setup step
by step.
See Using the Wireless Configuration Wizard on page
176.
• Manual configuration. Offers advanced setup options.
See Manually Configuring a WLAN on page
165.
Note: It is recommended to configure the WLAN via Ethernet and not via a wireless
connection, because the wireless connection could be broken after making a
change to the configuration.
