Repeat steps 1 through 9 for all other Base Stations.
Access Control
Another method to restrict wireless access to the Base Stations is to use the
access control table feature and/or the RADIUS Server Access Control feature.
If you decide to enable the access control table feature your Base Stations will:
! only bridge messages to/from authorized stations, that have been identified
in the access control table.
! ignore all requests to forward data to/from non-listed BreezeNET stations.
Enabling access control is a more rigid security mechanism than “Closing the
Wireless Network”, as it requires the LAN administrators to authorize each
individual Wireless LAN station.
To authorize wireless stations to access the network, the LAN administrator(s)
must:
! append the unique universal MAC address of the Wireless LAN station to
the access control table file (*.tbl), and
! upload the access control table file to all Base Stations.
If you decide to enable RADIUS Access Control, you can:
! Specify the lifetime of a granted authorization
! Set the authorization password
! Assign up to two RADIUS servers for validating the MAC address of
wireless stations.
To enable RADIUS Server Access Control refer to Enabling RADIUS Server
Access Control
Enabling Access Control
To enable access control you will first need to create an access control table file
(*.tbl) using the AP Manager program.
You can upload the access control table file into all Base Stations in your
network as part of a (new) configuration (see Importing an Access Control
Table for more information).
Creating/Editing an Access Control Table
To create or edit the access control table:
NOTE:
The access control feature does not work in network environments that require local MAC
addressing.
