Web Console Configuration

This option enables configuration of an optional second RADIUS server. A second RADIUS server can be used as backup for the primary RADIUS server. The second RADIUS server is consulted only when the primary server is not available or not responding. The fields Second

RADIUS Server IP Address, RADIUS Server Port, Second RADIUS server Shared Secret, Second MAC Address Authentication provide the corresponding parameters for the second RADIUS Server.

MAC Address Filter

The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on the unique MAC addresses of their network adaptor(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network. A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the network adaptor.

 

Enable MAC Address Filter

 

When this is enabled, computers are granted or denied network access depending on the mode of

 

the filter.

 

 

NOTE

Configuring this feature incorrectly could prevent machines from accessing the network. In this

 

case, you can regain access by activating the factory defaults button on the Access Point itself.
