Security

The SMC2555W-AG is configured by default as an “open

system,” which broadcasts a beacon signal including the

configured SSID. Wireless clients can read the SSID from the

beacon, and automatically reset their SSID to allow immediate

connection to the nearest access point.

To improve wireless network security, you have to implement two

main functions:

• Authentication: It must be verified that clients attempting to

connect to the network are authorized users.

• Traffic Encryption: Data passing between the access point and

clients must be protected from interception and evesdropping.

For a more secure network, the access point can implement one

or a combination of the following security mechanisms:

• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) page 5-50

• IEEE 802.1x page 5-14

• Wireless MAC address filtering page 5-13

• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) page 5-55
