Managing wireless communities
To manage wireless communities, select Wireless Communities.
You can define up to four wireless communities.
• To edit an existing community, select its name in the list. Settings are displayed for the
community selected in the communities list. Modify the settings as needed and select
Update.
• To add a new community, select Add New Wireless Community. You can select
Save to accept the default settings, or modify the settings and select Add, then Save.
If you select Cancel before selecting Add, the new wireless community will be deleted.
If you change these settings after saving a new wireless community, select Update, then
Save. You can select Cancel before selecting Update to undo any changes to these
settings.
See Wireless community configuration options on page 36 for details on the settings.
About the default wireless community
By default, a single wireless community is defined. It is named HP, which is also its network
name (SSID). You can modify settings for the default community, but you cannot delete it. You
can create and delete additional communities.
Caution The default wireless community does not have any security or authentication options enabled
by default. To protect the wireless network from malicious third-party wireless users, it is strongly
recommended that you enable some form of wireless protection on the default wireless
community and on other communities you create.
