CHAPTER 10
Wireless Security Screen
10.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to use the Wireless Security screen. This screen
allows you to configure the security mode for your NWA.
Wireless security is vital to your network. It protects communications between
wireless stations, access points and the wired network.
Figure 91 Securing the Wireless Network
In the figure above, the NWA checks the identity of devices before giving them
access to the network. In this scenario, computer A is denied access to the
network, while computer B is granted connectivity.
The NWA secure communications via data encryption, wireless client
authentication and MAC address filtering. It can also hide its identity in the
network.
10.2 What You Can Do in the Security Screen
Use the Wireless > Security screen (see Section 10.4 on page 150) to choose
the security mode for your NWA.
