Specifications

66 GE MDS entraNET Reference Manual 05-4055A01, Rev. D
• Approve Remotes—Enables authentication of Remote radios
before granting access to the network. Enabling forces the entra-
NET radio to check the Approved Remotes List (described
below) before continuing the authorization process. Before
enabling this option, at least one entry must already exist in the
Approved Remotes List. [Enabled, Disabled; Disabled]
• Encryption Enable— Enable encryption of over-the-air data pack-
ets. Enabling forces the transceiver to use 128-bit encryption on
all over-the-air messages. This option requires the Encryption
Phrase (see below) to be previously configured. [Enabled, Dis-
abled; Enabled
]
• HTTP Access—Prevents remote access through HTTP (a Web
browser) on Port 80. [Enabled, Disabled; Enabled]
• Telnet Access—Prevents remote access through Telnet sessions
on Port 23. [Enabled, Disabled; Enabled]
• SNMP Mode— Prevents remote access through SNMP com-
mands on Port 161. [Disabled, v1 only; v2 only, v3 only, v1-v2,
v1-v2-v3; v1-v2-v3
]
• Approved Remotes List (Menu)—Presents a menu where the cre-
ation and management of Remote radios allowed to communi-
cate with the AP is performed. For more information, refer to
Approved Remotes List Menu below.
• Remote Access Manager—Allows management of the Approved
Remotes List using optional GE MDS Remote Access Manager
software (Part Number 06-4490A01). Set the Remote multicast
address to use with the Remote Access IP setting (listed below).
[Enabled, Disabled; Disabled]
• Encryption Phrase—An alphanumeric phrase added to the
encryption algorithm. A minimum of eight characters must be
entered for this string. [Any 8-41 character alphanumeric string;
Blank]
NOTE: When changing the Encryption Phrase, it is recommended that
you change the most distant Remotes first, followed by the
APs, so that proper association occurs.
•
HTTP Security Mode—Select the security mode or level of log-in
using an HTTP browser. Disabling HTTP Access prevents access
through HTTP.
HTTP Security Mode is functional if HTTP Access is
enabled. [Basic Auth, MD5 Digest; Basic Auth]
Basic mode requires a password, but the actual password text is
transmitted unencrypted.
MD5 Digest is more secure because it encrypts the password.
•
Auto Key Rotation—Used to select whether or not the encryption
key is automatically rotated (changed) periodically. [
