Basic Installation and Configuration

2-23

v1.0, May 2008

Program the wireless adapter of your PCs to have the same SSID that you configured in the
WNDAP330. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address by
DHCP from the WNDAP330.

Once your PCs have basic wireless connectivity to the WNDAP330, you can configure the
advanced wireless security functions.

Understanding Security Profiles

Security Profiles let you configure unique security settings for each SSID. You can configure up to
eight unique 802.11b/g/n wireless security profiles or up to eight unique 802.11a/n wireless
security profiles on the WNDAP330. The Security Profiles screens are shown below in

Note: If you are configuring the WNDAP330 from a wireless computer and you

change the SSID, channel, or Security Profile settings, you will lose your
wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then change the wireless
settings of your computer to match the new settings.

Note: If you are using a RADIUS Server, configure the RADIUS settings first, as

described in the

“Configuring WPA with RADIUS” on page 2-36
