WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point with Power Over Internet Administration Guide

A

Q.

Does the access point function as a firewall?

No. The access point is only a bridge from wired Ethernet to wireless
clients.

Q.

I have excellent signal strength, but I cannot see my network.

Wireless security, such as WEP or WPA, is probably enabled on the access
point, but not on your wireless adapter (or vice versa). Verify that the same
wireless security settings are being used on all devices in your wireless
network.

Q.

What is the maximum number of users the access point can handle?

No more than 63, but this depends on the volume of data and may be fewer
if many users create a large amount of network traffic.

Q.

How do I configure multiple Cisco WAP4410N access points with the
same configuration?

STEP 1

Configure one access point and then save the configuration file through its web
page.

STEP 2

Using a text editor, change the command "

secret_shown=1" to

"

secret_shown=0" in the configuration file, and then save the file.

STEP 3

Restore the file to the access point through its web page and save the
configuration, naming it

AP_Config.cfg.

STEP 4

At this point, all keys and passwords are shown in clear text.

STEP 5

Restore the

AP_config.cfg file on other access point’s through their web pages

one by one.

Windows Help

Many wireless products require Microsoft Windows. Windows comes with many
features that help make networking easier. These features can be accessed
through Windows Help and are described in this appendix.
