Configuring the Wireless Access Points for a Network with a Security Infrastructure (Windows CE 5.0)
After you have finished configuring TESTSERVER, you need to configure your wireless access points. All wireless networking traffic passes through the access points. Therefore both access points must be connected to TESTSERVER through a local area network (LAN). You must complete the following steps for each access point.
When configuring your access points use the following Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs):
| Access Point | SSID |
|---|---|
| Cisco AP (802.1x) | CE8021X |
| Buffalo Technology AP (WPA) | CEWPA |
Note SSIDs are case-sensitive. If you want to test roaming throughout multiple access points, you must use the same SSID for each access point that is used in the roaming scenario.
To configure your wireless access point
- Adjust the antenna on your access point so that it points straight up.
- Connect the access point to the hub that is connected to TESTSERVER by using an Ethernet cable.
- Plug in the power for the access point.
- On TESTSERVER, start DHCP Server and connect your access point to the network if you haven't already done so. The server automatically assigns an IP address to the access point.
- To browse the management pages for your access point, on TESTSERVER launch the Web browser and in the address bar, type the IP address for your access point.
To configure the settings for each individual access point, see
