D-Link DSR-Series User Manual 96
Section 6 - Wireless Settings
Proles
Creating a prole allows you to assign the security type, encryption and authentication to use when connecting
the AP to a wireless client. The default mode is “open”, i.e., no security. This mode is insecure as it allows any
compatible wireless clients to connect to an AP congured with this security prole.
To create a new prole, use a unique prole name to identify the combination of settings. Congure a unique
SSID that will be the identier used by the clients to communicate to the AP using this prole. By choosing to
broadcast the SSID, compatible wireless clients within range of the AP can detect this prole’s availability. The AP
oers all advanced 802.11 security modes, including WEP, WPA2, and WPA+WPA2.
To add, edit, or delete a prole:
1. Click Wireless > General > Proles.
Path: Wireless > General > Proles
2. Right-click a current entry and select Edit or Delete. To add a new entry, click Add New Access Point.
3. Complete the elds in the table on the next page and click Save.
Note: DSR-1000AC which supports both the bands, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, allows its user to edit the default proles
also.
