Release Notes and User Guide Supplement

5.6CONFIGURING AP AND SM FOR CENTRALIZED AP AND SM USER NAME AND PASSWORD MANAGEMENT

5.6.1AP – Technician/Installer/Administrator Authentication

To control technician, installer, and administrator access to the AP from a centralized RADIUS server:

1.Set Authentication Mode on the AP’s Configuration > Security tab to RADIUS AAA as shown in Figure 5: AP's Account > User Authentication tab.

2.Set User Authentication Mode on the AP’s Account > User Authentication tab (the tab only appears after the AP is set to RADIUS authentication) to Remote or Remote then Local.

Local: The local SM is checked for accounts. No centralized RADIUS accounting (access control) is performed.

Remote: Authentication by the centralized RADIUS server is required to gain access to the SM if the SM is registered to an AP that has RADIUS AAA Authentication Mode selected. For up to 2 minutes a test pattern will be displayed until the server responds or times out.

Remote then Local: Authentication using the centralized RADIUS server is attempted. If the server sends a reject message, then the setting of Allow Local Login after Reject from AAA determines if the local user database is checked or not. If the configured servers do not respond within 2 minutes, then the local user database is used. The successful login method is displayed in the navigation column of the SM.

Either the same RADIUS server used for SM authentication and authorization can be used for user authentication and accounting (access control), or a separate RADIUS accounting server can be used. Indicate your network design under User Authentication Server.

If separate accounting server(s) are used, configure the IP address(es) and Shared Secret(s) in the Accounting Server fields. The default Shared Secret is “CanopyAcctSecret”. Up to 3 servers can be used for redundancy. Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not splitting the database. If Server 1 doesn’t respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, Server 2 is not tried.

Motorola has long been a key player in the wireless communications market, known for its innovative solutions that cater to various connectivity needs. Among its diverse product range, the Motorola PMP 100 and PTP 200 series stand out as robust solutions for both point-to-multipoint (PMP) and point-to-point (PTP) applications, utilizing advanced modulation technologies such as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) and FSK (Frequency Shift Keying).

The Motorola PMP 100 series is designed for wireless broadband access, enabling operators to provide high-speed internet connectivity to rural and underserved areas. Its capability to support multiple users makes it an ideal choice for ISPs looking to deliver last-mile connectivity. The PMP 100 operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz frequency bands, ensuring flexibility and compliance with various regulatory requirements. One of its key features is the use of OFDM technology, which enhances spectral efficiency and minimizes interference, resulting in reliable data transmission even in challenging environments.

On the other hand, the PTP 200 series focuses on point-to-point communication, offering high-capacity backhaul links between two locations. The PTP 200 is optimized for performance in line-of-sight scenarios, featuring advanced antenna options and narrow beam width capabilities. This product also leverages OFDM technology, which provides increased data rates and improved capacity, supporting applications such as video surveillance, voice over IP, and enterprise connectivity.

In addition to the PMP and PTP 200 series, Motorola also offers the PMP 400 and PTP 100, which utilize FSK modulation. The PMP 400 series further advances the capabilities of wireless broadband access, featuring enhanced error correction, allowing for better performance in adverse conditions. This series is particularly well-suited for environments with high noise levels, making it a reliable choice for industrial applications. The PTP 100 series, on the other hand, operates effectively in point-to-point scenarios with lower bandwidth requirements, ensuring cost-effective solutions for dedicated leased line services.

In summary, the Motorola PMP and PTP series represent a comprehensive suite of wireless communication solutions, utilizing advanced modulation technologies like OFDM and FSK to deliver high-speed, reliable connectivity. These products demonstrate Motorola's commitment to innovation, addressing the diverse needs of users ranging from ISPs to enterprise customers, all while ensuring robust performance and ease of deployment in various environments.
