Chapter 4 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time
Assigning Basic Settings
Understanding the Security Settings
You can configure basic security settings in the Easy Setup > Radio Configuration section. You can
use the options given in this section to create unique SSIDs and assign one of four security types to them.
You can create up to 16 SSIDs on the wireless device. The created SSIDs appear in the Current SSID
List. On dual-radio wireless devices, the SSIDs that you create are enabled by default on both radio
interfaces.
Note In Cisco IOS Release 12.4(23c)JA and 12.xxx, there is no default SSID. You must configure an
SSID before client devices can associate to the access point.
The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric, case-sensitive, characters.
The first character can not contain the following characters:
• Exclamation point (!)
• Pound sign (#)
• Semicolon (;)
The following characters are invalid and cannot be used in an SSID:
• Plus sign (+)
• Right bracket (])
• Front slash (/)
• Quotation mark (")
• Tab
• Trailing spaces
