Step 7: Configure Access Ports
Mobile Unit Access Control List (ACL)
Use this list to specify which mobile units can or cannot gain access to the WLAN. The list employs an adoption rule for allowing or denying specific mobile units by way of exception.
1.Select Allow or Deny from the
2.Click the Add button to add a new entry to the list.
3.Each entry in the table specifies one or more MAC address to be used to match with a mobile unit’s MAC address that is attempting to gain access to the WLAN. Specify a single address (by specifying Start Address only) or a range of MAC access (by using both the Start Address and the End Address).
For example, if Allow is selected, all mobile units that match any of the specified MAC addresses or MAC address ranges in the table can be adopted by the WLAN. If Deny is selected, all mobile units that match any of the specified MAC addresses or MAC address ranges in the table cannot be adopted by the WLAN.
4.Click the Apply button to save changes.
Step 7: Configure Access Ports
The WS 2000 Wireless Switch automatically detects Access Ports when they are attached to one of the switch’s LAN ports. When the switch starts communication with an Access Port that can be adopted by the switch, it uploads the firmware appropriate for the Access Port.
At this time, the Access Port becomes active. The switch also automatically adds the Access Port to the list of known ports under the left menu item, Network Configuration
For an Access Port to be adopted by the WS 2000 Wireless Switch, three things must be configured:
1.The Country field in the System Settings screen must be set.
2.The Access Port’s MAC address must be set as one of the addresses that can be adopted by one of the enabled WLANs. (see Step 4)
3.A WLAN that can adopt Access Port must be associated with an enabled subnet. (see Step 5)
The switch can adopt up to six Access Ports at a time, but the number of Access Ports listed can exceed six in number. A
The switch creates a default name for a newly found switch consisting of “AP” and a unique number. During this detection process, the switch collects the following information from the Access Port:
