Address of mail
server for SMTP
port redirection
In some public access wireless networks, to prevent spamming, ISPs do not allow email to
be sent via their default mail server if the user is not a member of that network. The
network administrator for such a network may designate a special SMTP server for this
purpose, but this requires that users change their SMTP IP address and other settings.
This BSC setting allows you to specify the IP address or hostname of the SMTP server (or
leave it blank for no SMTP redirection). When the BSC sees SMTP traffic, it will redirect it
to the SMTP server at the specified IP address and the user's email will be routed
appropriately. No changes to email settings by the user are required.
)
Note: You must disable any extended SMTP (ESMTP) features on the mail server where
the traffic will be redirected. ESMTP requires extended features such as username/
password authentication that users would not have.
Allow access
from clients with
fixed IP
addresses
Users logging into a public access wireless network may have fixed IP settings already
configured by their corporate office. Accessing the wireless network would require users
to re-configure their clients for DHCP address assignment.
If this checkbox is marked, the BSC handles any user's fixed IP address and allows the
user to access the network and attempt login without re-configuration of client-side IP
addressing.
If cleared, the BSC assumes that users in public access WLANs are using DHCP. Default
value: Disabled.
This feature works on the physical managed interface and on managed side VLANs.
Saving the

You may be prompted to restart the BSC. We recommend that you do not restart the BSC
until you have completely finished configuring the BSC for use in your network.
