Subscriber Station Authentication
Subscriber Station Authentication Parameters determine the authentication method for SSs entering the BS’s network,
and specify a default Subscriber Station class used for any SS entering the network without an otherwise predefined
class.
Figure 3-32 Subscriber Station Authentication Parameters
The following parameters can be configured or viewed from the Subscriber Station Authentication page:
• Net Entry Mode: Select one of the following:
– Unrestricted: All Subscriber Stations may enter the network. This is the default selection.
NOTE: Unrestricted access is intended to simplify initialization and configuration, but as it is not secure, it is not
recommended for a secure deployment.
– Internally Authorized: Only Subscriber Stations listed in the Base Station’s list of authorized SSs can enter the
network. See Subscriber Station List.
– Externally Authorized: Only Subscriber Stations listed in the configured RADIUS server’s list of authorized SSs
can enter the network. When changing to external authorization from any other authorization type, SSs currently
in the SS List must be manually deleted.
• Default SS Class: When the Net Entry mode is set to “Unrestricted,” select the default SS class assigned to all SSs
entering the network without a preassigned SS class. The default is “Unlimited Best Effort.” See Subscriber Station
List for information on assigning non-default SS Classes from a list of pre-defined SS classes and Service Class
Creation for information on creating new classes.
NOTE: When the Net Entry mode is set to “Internally Authorized,” the SS Class is assigned when the SS is added to
the Subscriber Station List. When the Net Entry mode is set to “Externally Authorized,” the SS class is
assigned by the configured RADIUS server.
