Understanding Security
The AT-WL2411 provide many different security features and solutions
that you can use to create a secure wireless network. To create a secure
wireless network, you need:
❑ Secure your backbone. Only authorized users should be able to
communicate with your network.
❑ Keep your data private. Make it difficult for an eavesdropper, such
as a rogue access point, to monitor your data.
❑ Authenticate wireless end devices. End devices must prove who
they are before they are allowed to communicate with your
network.
You can implement one or more of the security solutions in Table 6.
