Proles
Creating a prole 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 congured with this security prole.
To create a new prole, use a unique prole name to identify the combination of settings. Congure a unique
SSID that will be the identier used by the clients to communicate to the AP using this prole. By choosing to
broadcast the SSID, compatible wireless clients within range of the AP can detect this prole’s availability. The AP
oers all advanced 802.11 security modes, including WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
To add, edit, or delete a prole:
1. Click Wireless > General > Proles.
Path: Wireless > General > Proles
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.
