Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual (Continued) Setting Description L2 Isolation To prevent WiFi and LAN clients on the same AirBridge from communicating with each other, select the Enable radio button. If you enable L2 isolation, clients can still communicate with each other over the Internet. By default, the Disable radio button is selected. If you enable L2 isolation, to exclude a device from L2 isolation, enter the MAC address of the device in a Whitelist field. Wireless Security Security Mode From the Security Mode menu, select WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Enterprise for the connection to the selected SSID. For information about WPA2-Enterprise, see Set up WPA2-Enterprise security on a master or access point on page 81. Note: We recommend that you set up security, although in certain situations, and if you are aware of the risks, you can select None. Encryption If you select WPA2-PSK from the Security Mode menu, this field is fixed at AES. You cannot select another option. Passphrase If you select WPA2-PSK from the Security Mode menu, enter a passphrase (network key or WiFi password). The length of the passphrase must be from 8 to 63 characters. You must enter the same passphrase on a client bridge that must connect to the access point. WiFi clients must enter the same passphrase enter to connect to the SSID.

If you enter 0, the update interval is disabled and the group key is not changed. For greater security, we recommend that you do not disable the update interval so that the group key can be changed automatically. Fast Roaming Status To enable fast roaming, select the Enable radio button. By default, the Disable radio button is selected. If your network includes WiFi clients that must be able to roam from one AirBridge to another AirBridge or access point, enable fast roaming so that certain client applications can quickly reassociate with a new AirBridge or access point. Fast roaming is not available if you select None from the Security Mode menu.
