Checking Basic Settings
Mismatched basic settings are the most common causes of lost connectivity with wireless clients. If the
access point does not communicate with client devices, check the following settings.
SSID
Wireless clients attempting to associate with the access point must use the same SSID as the access point.
The default SSID is tsunami.
WEP Keys
The WEP key you use to transmit data must be set up exactly the same on your access point and any
wireless devices with which it associates. For example, if you set WEP Key 3 on your wireless LAN
adapter to 0987654321 and select it as the transmit key, you must also set WEP Key 3 on the access point
to exactly the same value. The access point does not need to use Key 3 as its transmit key, however.
Refer to the “Security” section in Chapter 3 of the Cisco Aironet Access Point Software Configuration
Guide for instructions on setting the access point’s WEP keys.
