When setting up the wireless appliance as an access point and station, you are responsible for complying with all laws prescribed by the governing regulatory domain and/or locale regarding radio operations.

To configure wireless settings

1. Navigate to DEVICE | Internal Wireless > Settings.

3. Enable WLAN Radio to provide clean wireless access to your mobile users.

   The WLAN radio is disabled by the default.

4. Set the time that WLAN radio is active from the Schedule drop-down menu.

   The Schedule list displays the schedule objects you create and manage on the OBJECT | Match Objects > Schedules page. The default value is Always on.

5. Select the Country Code in which the appliance is being used.

   The country code determines which regulatory domain the radio operation falls under.

6. Select your preferred Radio Mode from the drop-down menu.
7. Enable WDS AP to allow the WDS client to connect to this device as an access point.

8. Validate that the SSID field is filled in correctly.
