Network Management Parameters
The Network Management Parameters menu enables protecting the Unit
from unauthorized access by defining a set of IP addresses from which
the unit can be managed using protocols such as Telnet, FTP, TFTP,
SNMP, DHCP and ICMP. This excludes management messages
generated in the unit, such as Traps or Ping Test frames, which are not
filtered. You can also determine the direction from which management
access is permitted, which means from the wireless media or the wired
Ethernet or both.
The Network Management Parameters menu includes the following
options:
Access to Network Management
The Access to Network Management option defines the port through
which the unit can be managed. The following options are available:
 From Wireless Link Only
 From Ethernet Only
 From Both Ethernet & Wireless Link
The default selection is From Both Ethernet & Wireless Link.
CAUTION
Be careful not to block your access to the unit. For example, if you manage an RB via
the wireless link, setting the Access to Network Management parameter to From
Ethernet Only completely blocks your management access to the unit. In this case, a
technician may be required to change the settings at the user's site.
Network Management Filtering
The Network Management Filtering option enables or disables the IP
address based management filtering. If management filtering is enabled,
the unit can only be managed by stations with IP addresses matching
one of the entries in the Set Network Management IP Addresses option,
described below, and that are connected to the unit via the defined
port(s). The following options are available:
 Disable: No IP address based filtering is configured.
