Configuring Basic Security Settings
After you assign basic settings to the wireless device, you must configure security settings to prevent
unauthorized access to your network. Because it is a radio device, the wireless device can communicate
beyond the physical boundaries of your worksite.
Just as you use the Express Setup page to assign basic settings, you can use the Express Security page
to create unique SSIDs and assign one of four security types to them. Figure 4-5 shows the Express
Security page.

The Express Security page helps you configure basic security settings. You can use the web-browser
interface’s main Security pages to configure more advanced security settings.
