Once you have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security and fine-tune the AP by modifying advanced configuration features. 1. Connect the access point to the LAN If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network hub, then your access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some wireless clients. If you configured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer to the access point, do the following procedures: A. Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point. B. Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN. C. Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card. 2. Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients. Test the access point by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client devices. For information about requirements for these clients, see "Wireless Client Requirements" on page 22 in the Preparing to Install the Access Point chapter. 3.

Using the CLI to Configure 802.1X Authentication Information

Table 10

shows the commands you can use to configure 802.1X supplicant information by

using the CLI.

In the following example, the administrator enables the 802.1X supplicant and sets the user

name to wlanAP and the password to test1234.

DLINK-WLAN-AP#

set dot1x-supplicant status up

DLINK-WLAN-AP#

set dot1x-supplicant user wlanAP

DLINK-WLAN-AP#

set dot1x-supplicant password test1234

DLINK-WLAN-AP#

get dot1x-supplicant

Verifying the Installation

Make sure the access point is connected to the LAN and associate some wireless clients with

the network. Once you have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more

security and fine-tune the AP by modifying advanced configuration features.

Connect the access point to the LAN

If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network

hub, then your access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some

wireless clients.

If you configured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer

to the access point, do the following procedures:

Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point.

Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the

LAN

Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card.

Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients.

Test the access point by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client

devices. For information about requirements for these clients, see

“Wireless Client

Requirements”

on page 22 in the

Preparing to Install the Access Point

chapter.

Secure and configure the access point by using advanced features.
