7. Client Access Control
Two steps are required to add a client to a new or existing Multipoint network.
First, the necessary Base Station Information must be entered into a new client.
See your SkyWay 5000 Client User’s Guide for more information.
Second, the Client’s MAC address must be added to the Base Station’s access
control list. To access the relevant web screen click on the
Management
->
Add Client
menu option on the Navigation Toolbar.
-
Client’s MAC
: This is the hardware MAC address of the client station
with which the base will connect. This can be found in the user interface
of the client station unit.
-
Description
: Type in any description that will easily identify the user of
the base station with the above MAC address (e.g. main-street-branch).
This is an optional field and can be left blank.
CAUTION
: Descriptions must be a single word only. No spaces are
allowed.
Once both Client and Base station have valid MAC addresses, a link will be
established.
Additions or changes to the Base Station’s access control list do not require a
reboot of the Base or Client radios.

Protocol”) a remote management utility. To configure a unit’s SNMP settings,
