In the Security tab of the SM, you may set the following parameters.
Authentication Key
Only if the AP to which this SM will register requires authentication, specify the key that
the SM should use when authenticating. For alpha characters in this hex key, use only
upper case.
Select Key
The Use Default Key selection specifies the predetermined key for authentication in
BAM or Prizm. See Authentication Manager Capability on Page 389.
The Use Key above selection specifies the 32-digit hexadecimal key that is permanently
stored on both the SM and the BAM or Prizm database.
NOTE:
The SM and BAM or Prizm pad the key of any length by the addition of leading
zeroes, and if the entered keys match, authentication attempts succeed.
However, Cyclone recommends that you enter 32 characters to achieve the
maximal security from this feature.
Web, Telnet, FTP Session Timeout
Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via HTTP, telnet, or ftp
access to the SM.
Ethernet Access Control
If you want to prevent any device that is connected to the Ethernet port of the SM from
accessing the management interface of the SM, select Ethernet Access Disabled. This
selection disables access through this port to via http (the GUI), SNMP, telnet, ftp, and
tftp. With this selection, management access is available through only the RF interface
via either an IP address (if Network Accessibility is set to Public on the SM) or the
Session Status or Remote Subscribers tab of the AP.
NOTE:
This setting does not prevent a device connected to the Ethernet port from
accessing the management interface of
other SMs in the network. To prevent
this, use the IP Access Filtering Enabled selection in the IP Access Control
parameter of the SMs in the network. See IP Access Control below.
If you want to allow management access through the Ethernet port, select
Ethernet Access Enabled. This is the factory default setting for this parameter.
