CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE
When a wired client is allowed to “Connect” to the Wireless Barricade, it means that it has full access to the Internet and network resources.
When a wired client is not allowed to “Connect” to the Wireless Barricade, it means that it CAN communicate with the other clients on the wired LAN, but CANNOT:
•Connect to the Internet
•Use the Print Server function
•Communicate with the clients on the wireless LAN
•Use the Wireless Barricade’s Web configuration
Association Control: The Association process is the exchange of information between wireless clients and a wireless access point to establish a link between them. A wireless client is capable of transmitting and receiving data to an access point only after the association process is sucessfully completed.
Association control allows an administrator to allow or deny wireless clients from linking to the Wireless Barricade. Check “Association control” to control which of the wireless clients will be able to “associate” to the wireless LAN. If a client is denied “association” to the wireless LAN, it means that the client can’t send or receive any data through the Wireless Barricade. Choose “Allow” or “Deny” to allow or deny clients whose MAC addresses are not listed in the “Control table.”
When a wireless client is allowed to “Associate” to the wireless LAN, and “Connect” to the Wireless Barricade, that means it can have full access to the Internet and network resources.
