For security purposes Proxim recommends changing ALL PASSWORDS from the default “public”

immediately, to restrict access to your network devices to authorized personnel. If you lose or forget your

password settings, you can always perform the Reset to Factory Default Procedure.

IP Access Table

The IP Access Table limits management access over the Ethernet to the IP addresses or range of IP addresses

specified in the table. This feature applies to all management options (SNMP, HTTP, and CLI) except for CLI

management over the serial port.

Follow these steps to specify an authorized address range and enable this features:

1. Click Configure > Management > IP Access Table.

2. Click Add.

3. Enter the first IP address in the address range that will have access to the AP in the Start IP Address field.

4. Enter the last IP address in the address range in the End IP Address field.

NOTE

To specify a single IP address, enter the same address in both the Start IP Address and End IP Address

fields.

5. Click OK.

6. Enter additional address ranges, if necessary.

7. Click the back button to return to the previous screen.

8. Place a check mark in the Enable Access Control box.

9. Click OK.

Once enabled, only those IP addresses that fall within the ranges specified in the IP Access Table will have access to

the AP’s management interfaces over the Ethernet network. To delete an entry, click Edit and select Destroy from the

Status pull-down menu.

NOTE

You cannot enable Access Control unless one or more IP Address ranges exist in the IP Access Table. Also, if

you remove all entries from the table, Access Control will be automatically disabled (that is, the AP will

automatically remove the check mark from the Enable Access Control box).

You can configure the following management services:

NOTE

You must reboot the Access Point if you change the HTTP Port or Telnet Port.

•SNMP Interface Bitmask: To allow management of the AP using SNMP, set this parameter to Ethernet (the

default setting). You can also select Disabled to prevent a user from managing the AP via SNMP.

•HTTP Interface Bitmap: To allow management of the AP using the Web browser interface, set this parameter to

Ethernet (the default setting). You can also select Disabled to prevent Web-based management.

•HTTP Port: Configures the HTTP port from which you will manage the AP via the Web interface. By default, the

HTTP port is 80.
