NOA-3570 User’s Guide
56 Chapter 5 Wireless LAN
• Use the Local User Database if you have less than 32 wireless clients in your network.
The NOA-3570 uses MD5 encryption when a client authenticates with the Local User
Database
5.2.3 Restricted Access
The MAC Filter screen allows you to configure the AP to give exclusive access to devices
( Allow Association ) or exclude them from accessing the AP ( Deny Association ).
5.2.4 Hide NOA-3570 Identity
If you hide the SSID, then the NOA-3570 cannot be seen when a wireless client scans for local
APs. The trade-off for the extra security of “hiding” the NOA-3570 may be inconvenience for
some valid WLAN clients. If you don’t hide the ESSID, at least you should change the default
one.
5.2.5 Configuring Wireless LAN on the NOA-3570
1 Configure the ESSID and WEP in the Wireless screen.
2 Use the MAC Filter screen to restrict access to your wireless network by MAC address.
3 Configure WPA or WPA-PSK in the 802.1x/WPA screen. You can also configure
802.1x wireless client authentication in the 802.1x/WPA screen.
4 Configure the RADIUS settings in the AUTH. SERVER screens.
The following table shows the relative effectiveness of these wireless security methods
available on your NOA-3570.
Note: You must enable the same wireless security settings on the NOA-3570 and on
all wireless clients that you want to associate with it.
If you do not enable any wireless security on your NOA-3570, your network is
accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range.
