Management IP address Filter
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:
