Note: Do not set all the stations in the Access Control table to Read. Once this is set and enabled, it will be difficult to modify the AP. Should this situation occur, use the AP COMFig utility to re-set the configuration.

Two levels of access are available. To set access rights, enter a station’s IP address and community string (the community string must be the same as the AP’s in the Host Table of the APMS manager terminal, i.e. the PC running APMS) and choose Read or Read/Write.

Read

Read-only rights. The user may read everything

 

except the Access Control settings, but cannot

 

alter anything

 

 

Read/Write

The user may read and alter all settings

 

 

The Add button will become active. Click Add to add the information to the AP Access Control table. Click another tab to continue configuration setting or click OK to complete the AP setting. Click the Config/Reset AP menu item to make the changes effective.

MAC Access Control:

Limit access rights to this Access Point. You may enter up to 1000 stations (identified by their MAC addresses) into the list.
