8.4.5 MAC Filter
This screen allows you to configure the IAD to give exclusive access to specific
devices (Allow) or exclude specific devices from accessing the IAD (Deny). Every
Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC
address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal
characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC
addresses of the devices to configure this screen.
WPA2
Preauthenticatio
n This field is available only when you select WPA2.
Pre-authentication enables fast roaming by allowing the wireless client
(already connecting to an AP) to perform IEEE 802.1x authentication
with another AP before connecting to it. Select Enabled to turn on
preauthentication in WAP2. Otherwise, select Disabled.
Network Re-auth
Interval This field is available only when you select WPA2.
Specify how often wireless clients have to resend usernames and
passwords in order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between
10 and 2147483647 seconds.
Note: If wireless client authentication is done using a RADIUS
server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has
priority.
Group Key
Update Timer The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the RADIUS server
sends a new group key out to all clients.
Authentication Server
IP Address Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted
decimal notation.
Port Number Enter the port number of the external authentication server. The
default port number is 1812.
You need not change this value unless your network administrator
instructs you to do so with additional information.
Shared Secret Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be
shared between the external authentication server and the IAD.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and
your IAD. The key is not sent over the network.
