access to the network via Telnet, Web browser, and SNMP. Other areas
include multiple levels of encryption and MD5-level security for HTTP
connections. The Security Configuration Menu (Figure 3-29) contains
all of the settings related to these functions.
NOTE: Security enhancements in entraNET 2.3.0 firmware necessi-
tate that encryption must be turned OFF prior to upgrading
entraNET Remote radios with the new firmware. Failure to
turn encryption off results in loss of communication between
an AP and entraNET Remote radios. Once the firmware
upgrade is complete, encryption may be re-enabled.
Additionally, any changes to encryption settings should be
made first at all Remote radios, then at the AP. This prevents a
loss of communication between the AP and Remote radios due
to security mismatches. Communication loss requires a
personal visit to each affected remote site, where restoration
can be performed at the Remote itself (see CHAPTER 4
REMOTE RADIO MANAGEMENT, beginning on Page 99).
3.7.1 Security Configuration Menu
The Security Configuration Menu (Figure 3-29) allows settings of sev-
eral parameters related to network access, user credentials, and encryp-
tion. A review of each item on the menu is important to safeguarding
your network from unauthorized access. Review these settings occa-
sionally to make sure they are applicable to the current state of
your network.
