Authentication Mode
If the AP has authentication capability, then you can use this field to select from among
the following authentication modes:
• Authentication Disabled—the AP requires no SMs to authenticate.
• Authentication Required—the AP requires any SM that attempts registration to
be authenticated in BAM or Prizm before registration.
If the AP does not have authentication capability, then this parameter displays
Authentication Not Available.
Authentication Server 1 to 3
If either BAM or the BAM subsystem in Prizm is implemented and the AP has
authentication capability, enter the IP address of one or more BAM servers that perform
authentication for SMs registered to this AP. Enter these in order of primary, secondary,
then tertiary.
Encryption
Specify the type of air link security to apply to this AP:
• Encryption Disabled provides no encryption on the air link. This is the default
mode.
• Encryption Enabled provides encryption, using a factory-programmed secret
key that is unique for each module.
Encrypt Downlink Broadcast
When Encryption Enabled is selected in the Airlink Security parameter (described
above) and Enable is selected in the Encrypt Downlink Broadcast parameter, the AP
encrypts downlink broadcast packets as
• DES where the AP is DES capable.
• AES where the AP is AES capable.
For more information about the Encrypt Downlink Broadcast feature, see Encrypting
Downlink Broadcasts on Page 384.
SM Display of AP Evaluation Data
You can use this field to suppress the display of data about this AP on the AP Evaluation
tab of the Tools page in all SMs that register.
Web, Telnet, FTP Session Timeout
Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via HTTP, telnet, or ftp
access to the AP.
IP Access Control
You can permit access to the AP from any IP address (IP Access Filtering Disabled) or
limit it to access from only one, two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access
Filtering Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you must populate
at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted
from any IP address, including access and management by Prizm.
