Chapter 6: Management

Password: Specify a password for the SNMPv3 administrator or user. Only the SNMP commands carrying this password are allowed to access the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender.

Confirm Password: Input that password again to make sure it is your desired one.

Access Type: Select “Read Only” or “Read and Write.”

Authentication Protocol: Select an authentication algorithm. SHA authentication is stronger than MD5, but is slower.

Privacy Protocol: Specify the encryption method for SNMP communication. None and DES are available.

None: No encryption is applied.

DES: Data Encryption Standard (DES) applies a 58-bit key to each 64-bit block of data.

6.3 Coovachilli Settings

Coovachilli is a captive portal management that allows WLAN users to easily and securely access the Internet. Under Router mode, when Coovachilli is enabled, the IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Access Point will force an HTTP client on a network to see a special web page (usually for authentication purposes) before using the Internet normally. The browser is then redirected to a Web page that requires authentication. Captive portals are used at most Wi-Fi hotspots. Therefore, to use Coovachilli, you need to find Coovachilli service providers that have the additional services needed to make Coovahcilli work.
