You can limit access to the management interface by selecting
Specify
and entering
the access IP addresses. By default,
Any
IP Address is allowed. When
Specify
is
selected, only addresses within that range will be able to manage the Controller. Do
a hard reset to factory defaults if you forget what addresses are allowed and cannot
get in. In any case, the administrator must still enter the correct username and
password.
NAS ID
The editable text box is the NAS ID of the Controller. The Controller sends this value
to the RADIUS Server. If you enable SysLog, the NAS ID is sent as part of the Sysco
messages. It is a good idea to give your Controller a NAS ID related to the installation
site to make management easier. For example, Bob’s Hotel could have the NAS ID
“bobshotel”.
LAN IP settings
Auto IP
In this section, select either
Enable
or
Disable
radio button to
enable or disable the Auto IP subscriber address support. Auto-
IP will allow subscribers with Static IP addresses to connect to
the internet normally without changing their settings. These
subscribers’ connections may be slower than DHCP subscribers’
due to the translation process to and from their static IP address
by the Controller for each packet.
Auto LAN Isolation (requires Auto-IP enabled)
When Auto LAN Isolation and Auto-
IP are enabled the Controller prevents subscribers and other
machines on the network from being able to access each other
or share resources, using Microsoft Networking for example. You
will not be able to access or manage local machines or access
points on the LAN with Auto LAN Isolation enabled unless you
enter their addresses into the
Exception List
. Auto LAN
Isolation is also effective at blocking subscriber-to-subscriber
traffic not connected directly to the Controller with some
limitations:
1.
LAN Broadcast traffic is not blocked, so some subscribers
may see other computers listed under “Computers Near
Me” in Windows. These subscribers will not be able to
