Step by Step Setup

Step 1. Interface Set-Up

In the network interface | configuration |interface configuration menu you can set the TCP/IP

settings. br1 is pre-configured as the WLAN port of your Access Controller, ixp1 is the WAN port. By

default the bridge interface br1 initially contains two interfaces: wlan1_0 and ixp0. Wlan1_0 is the first

virtual AP which you can configure up to 16 virtual AP(16 MBSSID) and ixp0 is the LAN port. Both

ixp0 and wlan1_0 are DHCP server enabled by default.

You can modify these settings according to your local network requirements. Make sure that IP

subnets do not overlap.

Figure 13 – Interface Configuration Settings

If DHCP client, or PPPoE,is selected as a dial-up protocol for the WAN interface

the WAN settings of this table will be overwritten by the values retrieved from the

Internet Provider.

Step 2. DNS Set-Up

In the network interface | DNS menu you can specify your local domain name server or enter the

DNS server provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Figure 14 – DNS Redirection

DNS is set automatically if provided by the ISP dynamically via DHCP, PPPoE.

Step 3. IP Address Management

For automatic IP assignments to client stations, set the DHCP settings in the network interface |

DHCP menu according to your TCP/IP configuration from step 1. Only use address ranges within the

corresponding IP subnet of the LAN interface. In addition you can switch on the Universal Address

Translation function in the system | access | UAT menu. With UAT users do not need to change their

local TCP/IP settings to log on to the Access Controller. The Access Controller will translate fixed IP

numbers used in private networks transparently for the user.

Please refer to

Chapter 3 – Universal Address Translation for further details to

avoid IP conflicts.

Step 4. RADIUS Set-Up

In the network interface | RADIUS settings menu you can first define the local settings of the

integrated RADIUS client of the Access Controller. For example you can modify timeouts and the

NAS server ID (name of the RADIUS client):
