She clicks the Apply button to save her choices.

Clarisa goes to the left menu and clicks the “+” to the left of the Cafe WLAN node. A menu
item labeled Cafe Security appears and Clarisa selects it.

She confirms that the Cafe Security screen shows that no authentication and no encryption
methods.

Configuring the Printer WLAN

For the printer WLAN, Clarisa makes the following selections:

Name Printer

ESSID CCC-Printer

Subnet Printsn

Disallow MU to MU Communication

Yes

Use Voice Prioritization

No

Answer Broadcast ESS

No

There will not be any VoIP devices in the store, therefore voice prioritization will not be
useful. The wireless printers will never need to communicate with each other directly. MU
to MU communications can be safely disallowed. Allowing Answer Broadcast ESS is a
way to allow mobile units that are not configured with the network ESSID to associate with
the WLAN. She knows that she will configure all of the mobile units on this WLAN with
the correct ESSID, so she disallows this option, potentially keeping a cafe customer out of
the printer WLAN.
