User manual BUFFALO WLM-L11G

[. . . ] PART I 1. 0 Introduction I The WLM-L11G protects customers' investments over the long term. Buffalo's new WLAN product, WLM-L11G, is the IEEE802. 11b-based access point (AP) with room to grow to IEEE802. 11a or IEEE802. 11g, depending on the user's needs. The Buffalo solution offers simultaneous communication on both 5GHz and 2. 4GHz bands without annoying bottlenecks. High reliability, manageability and standard Buffalo features are integrated in the product and will assure easy management and high quality signal communication. [. . . ] · A setup over an AP is forbidden. This keeps anyone who is actually connected to a DIFFERENT AP from configuring the WLM-L11G. · A request from a WLAN is ignored. Changes to the parameters (DHCP, DNS, etc. ) are locked out. If you make a mistake here and "lock yourself out, " the WLML11G can be returned to the factory default settings (ALL of them!) by holding down the INIT button on the back of the unit for 3 seconds. 8. 7. 2 Filter Information Displays the current settings. To change a setting, check the box on the item to be changed and click "delete the checked rules. " The setting can be reset to the default by clicking "Initialize Rule. " 8. 8 Security Security features include Authentication, Privacy and Access Authorization. 8. 8. 1 Authentication 802. 11b Configure EAP authentication process. Configure EAP in the Security/802. 11b screen. Note: For MAC Access Restriction, do not check the "Enable" box until you have set up Authorized MAC addresses (Section 9. 8. 4. 3). 8. 8. 2 Privacy, WEP Encryption Code Set the encryption method used in wireless communications for the protection of your data. It is necessary that the WEP key match between two parties for secure communications. If multiple keys are used, the order must match between communicating devices. Examples of WEP key input are: · 5 digits of ASCII characters. They are case sensitive and "_" is allowed, i. e. Skey5. · 10 digits of hexadecimal numbers, i. e. · If WEP is not used, leave the box blank or input all 0s, which is equivalent to no-WEP. 8. 8. 3 Access Authorization, RADIUS Set up RADIUS parameters. When a client requests communication with the WLM-L11G access point, the WLM-L11G reports its own MAC address to the RADIUS server and asks for communication approval to the client. Once the client is recognized by the RADIUS, the RADIUS issues a key to the AP as well as the client for initiation of communications. Server Name=The name of the RADIUS server or the IP address. Port Number=The port number to be used at the RADIUS upon approval. [. . . ] Server: Any computer that makes access to files or peripheral devices available to users of the network. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): The protocol used to define and deliver electronic mail (e-mail) from one server to another. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol): An application layer protocol that outlines the formal structure for communication among network devices. Static IP Address: Also known as a global IP.
