What About Security?
You have multiple options for adding security to your WLAN. Set
security according to the needs of your network.
■ You can limit access to parts of the network by setting
passwords and creating special shared files. Refer to your
operating system’s documentation for more information.
■ You can set up a firewall to protect your network from intrusion
by the outside world (over the Internet) by installing a router.
Go to the Adaptec Web site at
www.adaptec.com for more
information on Adaptec’s Wireless Router.
■ You can exclude unauthorized users from your WLAN by using
the security and encryption features built into your Wireless
device. See Connecting to the WLAN on page 14 and Changing the
Set-up of Your WLAN on page 20, and refer to your other
Wireless devices’ documentation for more details.
