Configuration and Management

Integrity Protocol) while WPA2 encryption follows AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). AES offers a higher level of security and is approved for sensitive corporate and government data transmission. WPA/WPA2 Mixed enables connection of both WPA and WPA2 clients.

WPA and WPA2 authentication and encryption require a passphrase. A passphrase is a sequence of words or other text and is similar to a password in usage, but is generally longer for added security.

Each client on your wireless network has to be configured with exactly the same passphrase as the one entered in the Ericsson W3x in order to allow encrypted data transmission.

A WPA or WPA2 passphrase is case sensitive (distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters) and consists of between 8 and 63 characters. It is recommended that the passphrase contains at least 20 characters.

Enter a passphrase in the “Passphrase / Key” field and click the settings.

Apply to save

Note: Avoid using special characters (such as :, “ and ¤) when entering a passphrase.

3.6.9Connected Devices

The “CONNECTED DEVICES” list on the Wireless LAN page includes the MAC (Media Access Control) addresses of all wireless clients currently connected to the Ericsson W3x.

3.6.10Whitelist

A common method of restricting WLAN access is to specify the MAC address(es) in a “whitelist” for those computers to be granted access to the WLAN. This kind of whitelist is also known as “MAC Association” or “MAC Access list”.

Up to 20 MAC addresses for wireless clients can be added to the whitelist. Once the whitelist has been enabled, only clients with an associated MAC address are allowed to connect to the WLAN.

Note: This feature does not require any configuration of clients, but it is recommended that some kind of encryption (WEP, WPA/WPA2) is used in combination with the whitelist.
