User manual SMC 2586W-G

[. . . ] SMC2586W-G 1 Copyright Information furnished by SMC Networks, Inc. (SMC) is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no responsibility is assumed by SMC for its use, nor for any infringements of patents or other rights of third parties which may result from its use. No license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of SMC. [. . . ] This is a full WPA mode, in which both the TKIP and IEEE 802. 1x dynamic key exchange mechanisms are enabled. The SMC2586W-G is highly secured in this mode. In the above security modes, a back-end RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server is needed if IEEE 802. 1x functionality is enabled. See Section 3. 5. 3 for more information about IEEE 802. 1x and RADIUS. According to the IEEE 802. 11 standard, WEP can be used for authentication and data encryption. Normally, Shared Key authentication is used if WEP data encryption is enabled. In rare cases, Open System authentication may be used when WEP data encryption is enabled. The Authentication algorithm setting is provided for better compatibility with wireless client computers 44 with various WLAN network adapters. There are three options available, including Open System, Shared Key, and Auto. When WEP is enabled by a security mode, the Key length can be specified to be 64 Bits or 128 Bits. The Selected key setting specifies the key to be used as a send-key for encrypting traffic from the local device side to the remote device side. All 4 WEP keys are used as receive-keys to decrypt traffic from the remote device side to the local device side. NOTE: Each field of a WEP key setting is a hexadecimal number from 0-9, AF. For example, when the security mode is Static WEP and the key length is 64 Bits, you could set Key 1 to "00012E3ADF". MAC-Address-Based Access Control Fig. 48 MAC-address-based access control settings. With MAC-Address-Based Access Control, you can specify the wireless clients (STAs or Bridge Slaves) that are permitted or not permitted to associate with the SMC2586W-G. When the table type is set to inclusive, entries in the table are permitted to associate with the SMC2586W-G. When the table type is set to exclusive, entries in the table are not permitted to associate with the SMC2586W-G. NOTE: MAC-address-based access control is only available when the SMC2586W-G is in AP or Bridge Master mode. To deny wireless clients' access to the wireless network: 1. Select Enabled from the Functionality drop-down list. [. . . ] TIP: If you forget the current IP address of the SMC2586W-G, use Wireless Router/AP Browser to get the information (see Appendix B-3). use the SMC Scan utility that is on the CD. · The DNS server(s) of the client computer do not respond to ping from the client computer. · Solve the preceding problems first. 90 · If you cannot find any incorrect settings of the SMC2586W-G, the default gateway of the SMC2586W-G may be really down or there are other communication problems on the network backbone. Other Problems · My SMC2586W-G has been set to obtain an IP address automatically by DHCP. [. . . ]
