List of authorized access points
Specify the URL of the file that contains a list of all authorized access points. The format of this file is XML. Each
entry in the file is composed of two items: MAC Addres and SSID. Each entry should appear on a new line.
The easiest way to create this file is to wait for a scan to complete, then open the list of access points in Brief format.
Edit this list so that it contains only authorized access points and save it. Then specify its address for the list of
authorized access point parameters.

VLAN SUPPORT
The LPS-20x provides a robust and flexible VLAN implementation. VLANs can be assigned in one of three ways:
•Default VLAN
• Per-SSID VALN
• Per-User VLAN
DEFAULT VLAN
The LAN port can be configured with a default VLAN setting. Any outgoing traffic on the LAN port that is not tagged
with a VLAN ID will receive the default ID. The default VLAN can be restricted to carry managment traffic only. This
includes:
• all traffic that is exchanged with the access controller
• all traffic exchanged with external RADIUS servers
• HTTPS sessions established by administrators to the management tool
• incoming/outgoing SNMP traffic
• DNS requests/replies
