1.Select Wireless Configuration > System.

2.Select WISPr. The WISPr details are displayed.

3.Enter the ISO Country Code for the WISPr Location ID in the ISO COUNTRY CODE box.

4.Enter the E.164 Area Code for the WISPr Location ID in the E.164 AREA CODE box.

5.Enter the operator name of the Hotspot in the OPERATOR NAME box.

6.Enter the E.164 Country Code for the WISPr Location ID in the E.164 COUNTRY CODE box.

7.Enter the SSID/Zone section for the WISPr Location ID in the SSID/ZONE box.

8.Enter the name of the Hotspot location in the LOCATION NAME box. If no name is defined, the name of the AP to which the user is associated is used.

9.Click Save Settings to apply the changes.

The WISPr RADIUS attributes and configuration parameters are specific to the RADIUS server used by your ISP for the WISPr authentication. Contact your ISP to determine these values. You can find a list of ISO and ITU country and area codes at the ISO and ITU websites (www.iso.org and http://www.itu.int).

A Boingo smart client uses a NAS identifier in the format <CarrierID>_<VenueID> for location identification. To support Boingo clients, ensure that you configure the NAS identifier parameter in the RADIUS server profile for the WISPr server.

Blacklisting clients

The client blacklisting denies connection to the blacklisted clients. When a client is blacklisted, it is not allowed to associate with an AP in the network. If a client is connected to the network when it is blacklisted, a deauthentication message is sent to force client disconnection.

This section describes the following procedures:

•Blacklisting clients manually on page 55

•Blacklisting users dynamically on page 55

Blacklisting clients manually

Manual blacklisting adds the MAC address of a client to the blacklist. These clients are added into a permanent blacklist. These clients are not allowed to connect to the network unless they are removed from the blacklist.

Adding a client to the blacklist

To add a client to the blacklist manually:

1.Navigate to Wireless Configuration > Security > BLACKLISTING.

2.Click New and enter the MAC address of the client to be blacklisted in ENTER A NEW MAC ADDRESS.

3.Click Ok. The BLACKLISTED SINCE field displays the time at which the current blacklisting has started for the client.

To delete a client from the manual blacklist, select the MAC Address of the client under the MANUAL BLACKLISTING, and then click Delete.

Blacklisting users dynamically

The clients can be blacklisted dynamically when they exceed the authentication failure threshold or when a blacklisting rule is triggered as part of the authentication process.

Authentication failure blacklisting

When a client takes time to authenticate and exceeds the configured failure threshold, it is automatically blacklisted by an AP.
