Parameter Description
Delimiter character Specify a character ( for example, colon or dash) as a delimiter for the MAC address string.
When configured, the W-IAP will use the delimiter in the MAC authentication request. For
example, if you specify colon as the delimiter, MAC addresses in the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
format are used. If the delimiter is not specified, the MAC address in the xxxxxxxxxxxx
format is used.
NOTE: This option is available only when MAC authentication is enabled.
Uppercase support Set to Enabled to allow the W-IAP to use uppercase letters in MAC address string for MAC
authentication.
NOTE: This option is available only if MAC authentication is enabled.
Authentication server To configure an authentication server, select any of the following options:
l If the server is already configured, select the server from the list.
l To create new external RADIUSserver, select New. For more information, see
Configuring an External Server for Authentication on page 151.
Reauth interval Specify a value for the reauthentication interval at which the W-IAPs periodically
reauthenticate all associated and authenticated clients.
Accounting mode Select an accounting mode from the Accounting mode drop-down list for posting
accounting information at the specified Accounting interval. When the accounting mode
is set to Authentication, the accounting starts only after client authentication is successful
and stops when the client logs out of the network. If the accounting mode is set to
Association, the accounting starts when the client associates to the network successfully
and stops when the client is disconnected.
Accounting interval Configure an accounting interval in minutes within the range of 0–60, to allow W-IAPs to
periodically post accounting information to the RADIUS server.
Blacklisting
If you are configuring a wireless network profile, select Enabled to enable blacklisting of
the clients with a specific number of authentication failures.
Max authentication
failures
If you are configuring a wireless network profile and Blacklisting is enabled, specify the
maximum number of authentication failures after which users who fail to authenticate
must be dynamically blacklisted.
Walled garden
Click the link to open the Walled Garden window. The walled garden configuration
determines access to the websites. For more information, see Configuring Walled Garden
Access on page 137.
Disable if uplink type
is
Select the type of the uplink to exclude.
Encryption
Select Enabled to configure encryption settings and specify the encryption parameters.
