172-2  Getting to Know Radio Wireless Security Options WNI Global, Inc. wants to make wireless networking as safe and easy for you as possible. This radio provides several network security features, but they require specific action on your part for implementation.   Security Precautions The following is a complete list of security precautions that may be taken as shown in this User’s Manual. 1. Change the default SSID. 2. Disable SSID Broadcast. 3. Change the default password for the Administrator account. 4. Enable MAC Address Filtering. 5. Change the SSID periodically. 6. Use the highest encryption algorithm possible. Use WPA if it is available. Please note that this may reduce your network performance. 7. Change the WEP encryption keys periodically. To ensure network security, steps one through four should be followed at a minimum.Security Options There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network: • Restrict Access Based on MAC address. You can restrict access to only trusted clients so that unknown clients cannot wirelessly connect to the radio. MAC address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is still fully exposed. • Use WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined eavesdropper.  • Use WPA or WPA-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data security. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA makes it virtually impossible to compromise. • Enable Wireless Security Separator.    The associated wireless clients will not be able to communicate with each other if this feature is enabled. The default setting is disabling.
182-3  Installing the radio as an AP (Access Point) Before installing, you should make sure that your Ethernet network is working perfectly. You will be connecting the radio to the Ethernet network so that computers with 10/100 Fast Ethernet adapters will communicate with computers, servers, etc., on the Ethernet. 1. SET UP THE AP  Tip:   Before mounting the radio in a high location, first set up and test the radio and verify wired network connectivity .a.  Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter.
