The default security ID is NORANDOWL.
All WLIF access points and wireless stations in the network

must have the same security ID to communicate. The

security ID is case sensitive. That is, if the access point’s

security ID is in uppercase, the wireless station’s must also

be in uppercase. Refer to the wireless station’s user guide

for more information about setting its security ID.

Node Type

Node Type determines if this radio is a Master to which

wireless stations attach, or is a Slave radio that must

attach to a Master. Configuration of a WLIF radio as a

Slave is necessary if the access point is configured as a

wireless access point, or the designated bridge for a

secondary LAN.
Configuration as a wireless access point requires

installation of two WLIF radios: one Master and one Slave.

The Master radio services stations local to the wireless

access point. The Slave radio provides communications

between the wireless access point and the network

infrastructure. Figure 4-4 on page 4-65 shows a network

example.
Node Type options are:

Master
