5.3 Enabling Wireless LANs (WLANs)

A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a data-communications system that flexibly extends the
functionalities of a wired LAN. A WLAN does not require lining up devices for line-of-sight
transmission, and are thus, desirable. Within the WLAN, roaming users can be handed off from one
access point to another like a cellular phone system. WLANs can therefore be configured around the
needs of specific groups of users, even when they are not in physical proximity.

Use the access point’s

Wireless Configuration

screen to create new WLANs, edit the properties of

existing WLANs or delete a WLAN to create space for a new WLAN. Sixteen WLANs are available
on the access point (regardless of single or dual-radio model).

To configure WLANs on the access point:

1.

Select

Network Configuration

->

Wireless

from the access point menu tree.

NOTE

DynDNS supports devices directly connected to the Internet. Having VPN
enabled, and the DynDNS Server on the other side of the VPN is not
supported.
