Encryption, DES (Data Encryption Standard) and AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard).
IMPORTANT
The same encryption protocol must be set for all
Fluidmesh units in the wireless network.
6. To change the current encryption passphrase, enter a new
passphrase in the SNMP v3 encryption passphrase: field. The
default encryption passphrase is fluidmesh. To show the
passphrase as it is being typed, check the Show SNMP v3
encryption passphrase: check-box.
7. SNMP traps can be enabled for significant system-related events.
If needed, enable SNMP event traps by checking the Enable
SNMP event trap: check-box, and enter the name of the network
management station (NMS) host in the NMS hostname: field.
IMPORTANT
The NMS host to which traps are sent must have an
SNMP agent configured to collect v2c traps.
8. You can also configure the unit to send SNMP traps at defined
periodic intervals. If needed, enable periodic SNMP traps by
checking the Enable SNMP periodic trap: check-box, and enter
the name of the network management station (NMS) host in the
NMS hostname: field.
9. Save the SNMP settings by clicking the Save button.
Alternatively, clear the settings by clicking the Reset button.
7.6.7. Wireless access point configuration
All 1200 VOLO, 3200-series and 4200-series radio transceivers equipped
with firmware version 6.5 and above have a built-in wireless access point
(AP).
This wireless AP is intended for use by the network's service and
maintenance personnel. If the AP is enabled, you can easily connect to
the transceiver unit from a short distance aw using a laptop computer or
any other Wi-Fi-enabled device.
Note that the radio unit can be configured as a wireless access point (AP)
or as a wireless station (STA).
IMPORTANT
To minimize impact on overall system performance, wireless
AP bandwidth is limited to 5 Mb/s. This is sufficient for
maintenance purposes, but is not sufficient to support normal
wireless carrier operations.
