Extreme Networks 4700 manual Excluding MUs from Association, Testing Mobile Unit Connectivity

Basic 4700 Series Configuration

Keys #1-4	Use the Key #1-4fields to specify key numbers. For WEP
	64 (40-bit key), the keys are 10 hexadecimal characters in
	length. For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26
	hexadecimal characters in length. Select one of these keys
	for activation by clicking its radio button. The access point
	and its target client(s) must use the same key to
	interoperate.

5Click the Apply button to save the security policy and return to the AP-4700 Quick Setup screen.

At this point, you can either restrict specific MU access to the access point (using the ACL) or test the access point for MU interoperability.

Excluding MUs from Association

Optionally, use the access point Access Control List ACL to specify which MUs can or cannot gain access to an access point managed WLAN. By default, all mobile units can gain access. For specific information on configuring (restricting) MU access, refer to the Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide available at

http://www.extremenetworks.com/go/documentation.

Testing Mobile Unit Connectivity

Verify the access point’s link with an MU by sending Wireless Network Management Protocol (WNMP) ping packets to the associated MU. Use the Echo Test screen to specify a target MU and configure the parameters of the ping test. The WNMP ping test only works with Motorola Solutions MUs. Only use a Motorola Solutions MU to test connectivity using WNMP.

To ping a specific MU to assess its connection with an access point:

NOTE

Before testing for connectivity, the target MU needs to be set to the same ESSID as the access point. Since WEP 128 has been configured for the access point, the MU also needs to be configured for WEP 128 and use the same WEP keys. Ensure the MU is associated with the access point before testing for connectivity.
