32 Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your NOA-3570
VPN Passthrough
VPN (Virtual Private Network) connections use data encryption to provide secure
communications over unsecure networks (like the Internet). The NOA-3570 allows VPN
connections to go through it.
Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering
Your NOA-3570 checks the MAC address of the wireless station against a list of allowed or
denied MAC addresses.
WEP Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless
network to help keep network communications private.
IEEE 802.1x Network Security
The NOA-3570 supports the IEEE 802.1x standard to enhance user authentication. This
allows you to use a RADIUS (RFC2138, 2139 - Remote Authentication Dial In User Service)
server to authenticate users.
Embedded RADIUS Server
The NOA-3570’s embedded RADIUS server eliminates the need to purchase and maintain a
standalone external RADIUS server. Use the embedded RADIUS server to authenticate up to
32 users. You can also use an external RADIUS server to authenticate a potentially unlimited
number of users.
Backup RADIUS Server
You can configure the NOA-3570 to use backup external RADIUS servers and accounting
servers in case the primary external RADIUS or accounting server does not respond.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP
protocol suite. Your NOA-3570 supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manger
station to manage and monitor the NOA-3570 through the network. The NOA-3570 supports
SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two c (SNMPv2c).
Full Network Management
The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy setup and
management via Internet browser. Most functions of the NOA-3570 are also software
configurable via the SMT (System Management Terminal) interface. The SMT is a menu-
driven interface that you can access from a terminal emulator over a telnet connection.
