NSCAN - Wireless Security

I think it’s better to have a separate WLAN only for NScan so that you can apply maximum security which may not be a good idea for a general use WLAN.

We have a totally separate WLAN for access control. We are using WPA encryption (since both your router and scanner model have to support it you may not always have the choice to go for the maximum wireless data encryption), MAC address filtering, static IP, and we also don’t broadcast SSID as an extra security measure so that nobody can see the network and try to connect to it.

Those of you using NSCAN...did you have to implement any additional, beyond the normal security measures for the wireless network? We have a venue that has its own wireless network but I'm wondering if we should set up a separate wireless network for the scanners only.
