Chapter 11 Wireless LAN 11.1.1 What You Can Do • Use the Wireless screen to enable or disable the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless LAN, set up wireless security between the ARMOR Z1 and the wireless clients, and make other basic configuration changes (Section 11.2 on page 88). • Use the Guest Wireless screen to set up multiple wireless networks on your ARMOR Z1 (Section 11.4 on page 94). • Use the MAC Filter screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from connecting to the ARMOR Z1 (Section 11.5 on page 96). • Use the Advanced screen to allow intra-BSS networking and set the RTS/CTS Threshold (Section 11.6 on page 97). • Use the WPS screen to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually (Section 11.7 on page 98). • Use the Scheduling screen to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on and off (Section 11.8 on page 100). 11.1.2 What You Should Know Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines. • Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID. The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity. • If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels. Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information. • Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP. Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Wireless Security Overview The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network. SSID Normally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess. This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network. MAC Address Filter Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User's Guide or other documentation. ARMOR Z1 User's Guide 84

What You Should Know

Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.

•

Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.

The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.

•

If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.

Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or

frequency, to send and receive information.

•

Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.

Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the

information that is sent in the wireless network.

Wireless Security Overview

The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless

network.

SSID

Normally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the

SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change

the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.

This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices to

get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the

wireless network.

MAC Address Filter

Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.

A MAC address is

usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters

; for example, 00A0C5000002 or

00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User’s

Guide or other documentation.
