Use the
Name
field to define a logical security policy name.
Remember, multiple WLANs can share the same security policy, so be careful not to name
security policies after specific WLANs or risk defining a WLAN to single policy. Symbol
recommends naming the policy after the attributes of the authentication or encryption type
selected (for example, WPA2 Allow TKIP).

Enable and configure an
