Using the WS410 Web-based Management Interface CHAPTER 1 Using the WS410 Web-based Management Interface This section discusses the Web-based Management interface of the WS410. Covered are page layout, navigation, and modifying data. Navigating through the WS410 The Web-based Management interface of the WS410 is straightforward. A WS410 page comprises the following main sections: a menu bar, a header, and a main page area. Figure 1.1.
Using the WS410 Web-based Management Interface the menu bar in order to reach a page, all these menu items are listed in order in the header. • The main page area is specific to the functionality of each particular page. Initial navigation begins on the left-hand side of the application window. Menu selection items are Home, System, Network Interfaces, Association, Security, and Event Log. Notice that some of these items have a + symbol in front of the name.
Using the WS410 Web-based Management Interface Figure 1.3. Navigating to a Sub-Item Modifying Data Modifying data in the WS410 is a simple process and complies with Window’s Internet Explorer Web interfaces. There are several types of data-entry fields. • Text boxes signified by white rectangles allow direct text input • Dropdown list boxes have a set of options made available by clicking the arrow on the right side of the rectangle • Radio buttons are clicked to make a selection.
Using the WS410 Web-based Management Interface Saving Data In the WS410, applying data changes to take effect is a process consisting of several steps. To affect a change in a data f iel d 1. Edit the data in the field or make a selection. 2. Click Apply in the bottom right of the window. NOTE: You must click Apply before navigating to another page or the changes do not take effect. When you click Apply, the Web browser shows that the page is busy.
Using the WS410 Web-based Management Interface Again see the indication on the web browser that the request is being processed in the same way as described for the Apply button. It is necessary to let this cycle complete before doing anything else. NOTE: The red warning message does not go away when Save is pressed. A reboot of the system is still required. If necessary, reboot the WS410 either by power-cycling the unit, or by clicking Reboot at the bottom of the System window.

Managing Network Interfaces On this page you can configure the wireless interface. There are several recommendations for this page. Setting the Operational Channel Operational channels should be set up in such a way that if you have multiple units which are located in the same area, they interfere with each other as little as possible. If you have up to three units, it is recommended to use channels 1, 6, and 11, as that minimizes interference between the channels.

Managing System and Station Security Introducing IEEE 802.11 and WS410 Security Concepts IEEE 802.11 security is supported by the WS410 in two modes; Non-VLAN and VLAN. In Non-VLAN mode, all associated stations share the same wireless media and therefore have a single broadcast domain. When a client associates to the SSID, security credentials are checked and encryption keys (both unicast and broadcast keys) are assigned.
Managing System and Station Security Authentication Combinations WS410 allows authentication of various types and in various combinations. • The basic 802.11 authentications are Open (none) and Shared Key. In Shared Key Authentication, the WEP key is used as the shared key. If the SSID is configured to Open + Shared Key, this means that both types of clients can associate to the AP.
Managing System and Station Security VLAN Introduction and Configuration Tagging VLANs While on the Wireless media the VLANs are identified by different broadcast keys, on the Ethernet interface they are identified by tags. The VLAN tag is added following the Ethernet header. The default VLAN has the VLAN ID equal to 1. All management traffic to and from WS410 is on this VLAN, however, the traffic that leaves the unit is untagged.
Managing System and Station Security 3. Select Security>SSID-VLAN from the menu on the left to get the list of pre-defined (and disabled) SSIDs. The SSID page is displayed in VLANs mode. NOTE: The look of the SSID page varies significantly when VLANs are enabled. Throughout the rest of this section the VLAN format is used. Figure 6.10. SSID Page in VLANs Mode The following information is displayed on the SSID Table.
Managing System and Station Security 4. Click an SSID name to edit its parameters (e.g. VLAN2) to edit its parameters. Figure 6.11. Editing SSID Page 5. Click Add VLAN at the bottom right of the window to configure the VLAN Parameters. The Add VLAN section of the page is displayed. Figure 6.12. Editing SSID Page with Add VLAN Section Rev 1.1.
Managing System and Station Security 6. In the Rename SSID field, enter an SSID Name to be used in Probe Responses. NOTE: Only the Primary SSID (the first SSID) is advertised in Beacons. These additional SSIDs are hidden SSIDs. 7. Check the SSID Enabled checkbox. This enables the SSID. 8. Configure all security parameters: Mode, Authentication, and Encryption as required. See on page 76. Keys are added in the Related VLAN section below. 9. Within the Related VLANs edit the VLAN Name and VLAN ID. 10.
Managing System and Station Security Figure 6.14. Editing SSID Add VLAN WPA Configuring Multiple VLANS per SSID The SSID acts as a "security template" - it determines the general security mode (WPA, WEP, etc.). The Security details (the keys themselves) are linked to the VLAN. Therefore, there is an option to assign multiple VLANs to the same "security template" which is the SSID. This option is applicable only when another authority (i.e.
Managing System and Station Security Configuring RADIUS Assigned VLANS Figure 6.15. Editing SSID with RADIUS -- Multiple VLANs 1. Perform steps 1-7 in Configuring VLANs on page 70 above. 2. Under Security Configuration, under Authentication, if you select WPA RADIUS or WPA PSK + RADIUS you enable RADIUS authentication. In this case, there is an option to edit multiple VLANs, one after the other. There can be up to 16 VLANs in the overall system. 3. Only one VLAN has the Default for SSID checkbox marked.
Managing System and Station Security Security Modes: Authentication and Encryption Methods The following are the different combinations of security modes. Security Mode Authentication Mode Encryption Mode None Open system None WEP • Open system • Shared key • Open system + Shared • WEP/40 • WEP/104 key WPA • PSK (Pre-shared key) • Radius • PSK + Radius • TKIP • TKIP+WEP/40 • TKIP+WEP/104 Authentication Combinations WS410 allows authentication of various types and in various combinations.
Managing System and Station Security PSK gets assigned to the default VLAN, while the clients that authenticate using RADIUS have their VLAN determined by the RADIUS. Encryption Methods Legacy 802.11 clients may connect Open (no encryption), or WEP. In WEP, the encryption key can be either 40bit or 104bit. In WPA, WS410 supports TKIP encryption. Since some clients may be legacy (supporting only WEP), WS410 has the capability to have SSIDs that support both WEP and TKIP clients.
