AP6562 Access Point
20. Set the following parameters for each of the two WLAN configurations available as part of this Initial AP
Setup Wizard:
•
SSID
- Enter or modify the
Services Set Identification
(SSID) associated with the WLAN. The WLAN
name is auto-generated using the SSID until changed by the user. The maximum number of characters
is 32. Do not use < > | “ & \ ? , This is a required parameter for each WLAN.
•
WLAN Type
- Set the data protection scheme used by clients and access points within the WLAN. The
following options are available:
•
No Authentication and no Encryption
- Select this option to provide no security between the access
point and connected clients on this WLAN.
•
Captive Portal Authentication and No Encryption
- Select this option to use a Web page (either
internally or externally hosted) to authenticate users before access is granted to the network. If
using this option, define whether a local or external RADIUS authentication resource is used.
•
PSK Authentication and WPA2 Encryption
- Select the option to implement a pre-shared key that
must be correctly shared between the access point and requesting clients using this WLAN. If using
this option, specify a WPA key in either ASCII (8-63 characters) or HEX (64 characters) format.
•
EAP Authentication and WPA2 Encryption
- Select this option to authenticate clients within this
WLAN through the exchange and verification of certificates. If using this option, define whether a
local or external RADIUS authentication resource is used.
•
WPA Key
- If a WPA key is required (PSK Authentication and WPA2 Encryption), enter an alphanumeric
string of 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 64 HEX characters as the primary string both transmitting and
receiving authenticators must share. The alphanumeric string allows character spaces. This
passphrase saves the administrator from entering the 256-bit key each time keys are generated.
•
RADIUS Server
- If the WLAN requires a RADIUS server to validate user credentials, designate
whether the access point is using an
External RADIUS Server
resource or the access point's own
Onboard RADIUS Server
. If using an external RADIUS server resource, provide the IP address of the
external server and the shared secret used to authenticate the request.
21. Select
Next
. The Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the
RADIUS Server Configuration
screen if the
access point’s onboard RADIUS server is required to validate user requests. If an onboard RADIUS server
is not required, the Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the
Country/Date/Time
screen to set device
deployment, administrative contact and system time information.
NOTE
If using the access point’s onboard RADIUS server, an additional
RADIUS
Server Configuration
screen displays within the Navigation Panel on
the left-hand side of the screen. Use this screen to create user accounts
validated when the access point authenticates client connection requests
to the onboard RADIUS server.
