Configuring the WS 5000 and Applying a WEP-128 Policy Before using this quick setup guide, be sure to complete the tasks in the WS 5000 Wireless Switch Quick Install Guide (QIG). This document is written for the network installer or administrator who is familiar with their Ethernet IP network but who is not necessarily trained on Symbol Technologies equipment. The goal of this document is to show this user how to: (1) Connect the WS 5000 in a basic, flat switch network topology and verify

Figure 2: The Network Topology Verifying the Connections If the WS 5000 is connected correctly, devices on the wireless LAN should be able to connect to devices on the LAN. To test the connection between the wireless client device and the computer shown in Figure 2, from the wireless client, enter: C:> ping xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy PING xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy (xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy: icmp_seq=0 ttl=127 time=0.39 ms 64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy: icmp_seq=1 ttl=12

Step 2: Initial Configuration Using the CLI This step should take less than 10 minutes to complete. Note: In this guide, MAC and IP addresses have been changed to protect actual devices from unauthorized access. To configure the WS 5000 with site-specific IP addressing and network policies, connect the administrative PC to the WS 5000 with the serial cable (as discussed in the QIG). Once the basic WS 5000 network configuration is complete, administrators can create a policy as discussed

Step 3: Creating a Policy Using the GUI This step should take less than 15 minutes to complete. When you finish this step, the WS 5000 will be operating with a WEP 128 security policy. The WS 5000 GUI simplifies creating policies. To use the GUI, start a web browser on a computer connected like the computer on the wired LAN in Figure 2. Direct the browser to the secure connection at 'https://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn', (not http://) where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address of the Ethernet port 2 o
