This allows the WAP3205 to automatically set priority levels to services, such as e-mail, VoIP, chat, and so on. • Use the WPS screen (Section 10.9 on page 95) to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. • Use the WPS Station screen (Section 10.10 on page 97) to add a wireless station using WPS. • Use the Scheduling screen (Section 10.11 on page 97) to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on and off. • Use the WDS screen (Section 10.12 on page 99) to configure Wireless Distribution System on your WAP3205. 10.3 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. 10.3.1 Wireless Security Overview The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network. 84 WAP3205 User's Guide
