NOTE

A maximum of 16 WLANs are configurable within the access point Wireless

Configuration screen. The limitation of 16 WLANs exists regardless of the

number of radios supported.

a. Enter the Extended Services Set Identification (ESSID) and name

associated with the WLAN.

b. Use the Available On checkboxes to define whether the target WLAN is

operating over the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio. Ensure the radio

selected has been enabled (see step 8).

8. Once the WLAN’s radio designations have been made, the radio must be

configured in respect to intended 2.4 or 5 GHz radio traffic and the antennas

used. Refer to Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Radio Configuration ->

Radio1 (or Radio2), and configure the Radio Settings field (at a minimum). If

you know the radio’s Properties, Performance and Beacon Settings, those

fields can also be defined at this time.

Define the Channel Settings, Power Level and 802.11 mode in respect to the

2.4 or 5 GHz 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n radio traffic and anticipated gain of

the antennas.

CAUTION

Only a qualified wireless network administrator should set the access

point radio configuration. Refer to the Brocade Mobility 7131 Series

Access Point Product Reference Guide for an understanding of the

configurable values involved and their implications. To access the

guide, go to http://www.brocade.com/support/.

NOTE

Even an access point configured with minimal values must protect its data

against theft and corruption. A security policy should be configured for WLAN1

as part of the basic configuration outlined in this guide. A security policy can be

configured for the WLAN from within the Quick Setup screen. Policies can be

defined over time and saved to be used as needed as the access point’s

security requirements change. Brocade recommends you familiarize yourself

with the security options available on the access point before defining a

security policy.
