Symbol Technologies AP-5131 - Manual (Page 192)

AP-5131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 6-6
Each WLAN (16 WLANs available in total to an AP-5131 regardless of the model) can have a separate
security policy. However, more than one WLAN can use the same security policy. Therefore, to avoid
confusion, do not name security policies the same name as WLANs. Once security policies have been
created, they are selectable within the
Security field of each WLAN screen. If the existing default
security policy does not satisfy the data protection requirements of a specific WLAN, a new security
policy (using the authentication and encryption schemes discussed above) can be created.
To enable an existing WLAN security policy or create a new policy:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Security from the AP-5131 menu tree.
The Security Configuration screen displays .
2. If a new security policy is required, click the Create button.
The New Security Policy screen displays with the Manually Pre-shared key/No
authentication and No Encryption options selected. Naming and saving such a policy (as
is) would provide no security and might only make sense in a guest network wherein no
sensitive data is either transmitted or received.
However, selecting any other authetnication or encryption checkbox displays a configuration
field for the selected security scheme within the
New Security Policy screen.
