9 SVG2500 WIRELESS PAGES
The SVG2500 Wireless Pages allow you to configure your wireless
LAN (WLAN). You can click any Wireless submenu option to view or
change the configuration information for that option. WPA encryption
provides higher security than WEP encryption, but older wireless
client cards may not support the newer WPA encryption methods.
Setting Up Your Wireless LAN
You can use the SVG2500 as an access point for a wireless LAN
(WLAN) without changing its default settings.
Caution!
To enable security for your WLAN, you can do the following on the SVG2500:
To
Encrypt wireless transmissions
and restrict WLAN access
Further prevent unauthorized
WLAN intrusions
Caution!
Connect at least one computer to the SVG2500 Ethernet or USB port to perform
configuration. Do not attempt to configure the SVG2500 over a wireless connection.
You need to configure each wireless client (station) to access the SVG2500 LAN as
described in
Configuring the Wireless
Another step to improve wireless security is to place wireless components away
from windows. This decreases the signal strength outside the intended area.
To prevent unauthorized eavesdropping or access to WLAN data, you must
enable wireless security. The default SVG2500 settings provide no wireless
security. After your WLAN is operational, be sure to enable wireless security.
