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 Mobility 7131 Product Reference
Guide
for an understanding of the configurable values involved and
their implications. To access the guide, go to

NOTE

Even a Mobility 7131 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 Mobility 7131’s
security requirements change. Brocade recommends you familiarize yourself
with the security options available on the Mobility 7131 before defining a
security policy.

11. Click Apply

to save any changes to the Mobility 7131 Quick Setup screen.

Navigating away from the screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to
the screens being lost, unless you use the Un-applied Changes pop-up window
to overwrite the current settings.

12. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes

reverts the settings displayed on the Mobility 7131 Quick Setup screen to the
last saved configuration.

Configuring basic Mobility 7131 security

For testing basic connectivity, there is no reason to configure a server supported
authentication scheme. WEP 128 is described in this guide as a basic security
scheme sufficient to protect the Mobility 7131’s initial transmissions. For details on
configuring more sophisticated authentication and encryption options available to
the Mobility 7131, refer to the Mobility 7131 Product Reference Guide. The guide is
available at
