Introduction to Wireless Networking
An AP extends the capability of an existing Ethernet network to devices on a wireless network. Wireless devices can
connect to a single Access Point, or they can move between multiple Access Points located within the same vicinity.
As wireless clients move from one coverage cell to another, they maintain network connectivity.
To determine the best location for an Access Point, Proxim recommends conducting a Site Survey before placing the
device in its final location. For information about how to conduct a Site Survey, contact your local reseller.
Before an Access Point can be configured for your specific networking requirements, it must first be initialized. See
Getting Started for details.
13
Introduction
Figure 1-1 Typical wireless network access infrastructure
Once initialized, the network administrator can configure each unit according to the networks requirements. The AP
functions as a wireless network access point to data networks. An AP network provides:
Seamless client roaming
Easy installation and operation
Over-the-air encryption of data
High speed network links
To be fully operational, the AP-2000 needs at least one wireless card installed.
Guidelines for Roaming
An AP can only communicate with client devices that support its wireless standard. For example, an 802.11a client
cannot communicate with an 802.11b AP and an 802.11b client cannot communicate with an 802.11a AP.
However, both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with an 802.11b/g AP.
All Access Points must have the same Network Name to support client roaming.
All workstations with an 802.11 client adapter installed must use either a Network Name of any or the same
Network Name as the Access Points that they will roam between. If an AP has Closed System enabled, a client
must have the same Network Name as the Access Point to communicate (see Interfaces).
All Access Points and clients must have the same security settings to communicate.
The Access Points cells must overlap to ensure that there are no gaps in coverage and to ensure that the roaming
client will always have a connection available.
The coverage area of an 802.11b or 802.11b/g AP is larger than the coverage area of an 802.11a AP. The 802.11b
and 802.11b/g APs operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency band; the 802.11a AP operates in the 5 GHz band. Products
that operate in the 2.4 GHz band offer greater range than products that operate in the 5 GHz band.
An 802.11a or 802.11b/g AP operates at faster data rates than the 802.11b AP. 802.11a and 802.11g products
operate at speeds of up to 54 Mbits/sec; 802.11b products operate at speeds of up to 11 Mbits/sec.
All Access Points in the same vicinity should use a unique, independent Channel. By default, the AP automatically
scans for available Channels during boot-up but you can also set the Channel manually (see Interfaces for details).
Access Points that use the same Channel should be installed as far away from each other as possible to reduce
potential interference.

Introduction
IEEE 802.11 Specifications
In 1997, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) adopted the 802.11 standard for wireless devices
operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This standard includes provisions for three radio technologies: direct
sequence spread spectrum, frequency hopping spread spectrum, and infrared. Devices that comply with the 802.11
standard operate at a data rate of either 1 or 2 Megabits per second (Mbits/sec).
In 1999, the IEEE modified the 802.11 standard to support direct sequence devices that can operate at speeds of up to
11 Mbits/sec. The IEEE ratified this standard as 802.11b. 802.11b devices are backwards compatible with 2.4 GHz
802.11 direct sequence devices (that operate at 1 or 2 Mbits/sec). Available Frequency Channels vary by regulatory
domain and/or country. See 802.11b Channel Frequencies for details.
Also in 1999, the IEEE modified the 802.11 standard to support devices operating in the 5 GHz frequency band. This
standard is referred to as 802.11a. 802.11a devices are not compatible with 2.4 GHz 802.11 or 802.11b devices.
802.11a radios use a radio technology called Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to achieve data
rates of up to 54 Mbits/sec. Available Frequency Channels vary by regulatory domain and/or country. See 802.11a
Channel Frequencies for details.
In 2003, the IEEE introduced the 802.11g standard. 802.11g devices operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency band using
OFDM to achieve data rates of up to 54 Mbits/sec. In addition, 802.11g devices are backwards compatible with
802.11b devices. Available Frequency Channels vary by regulatory domain and/or country. See 802.11g Channel
Frequencies for details.
Management and Monitoring Capabilities
There are several management and monitoring interfaces available to the network administrator to configure and
manage an AP on the network:
HTTP/HTTPS Interface
Command Line Interface
SNMP Management
HTTP/HTTPS Interface
The HTTP Interface (Web browser Interface) provides easy access to configuration settings and network statistics
from any computer on the network. You can access the HTTP Interface over your LAN (switch, hub, etc.), over the
Internet, or with a crossover Ethernet cable connected directly to your computers Ethernet Port.
HTTPS provides an HTTP connection over a Secure Socket Layer. HTTPS is one of two available secure
management options on the AP; the other secure management option is SNMPv3. Enabling HTTPS allows the user to
access the AP in a secure fashion using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) over port 443. The AP supports SSLv3 with a
128-bit encryption certificate maintained by the AP for secure communications between the AP and the HTTP client.
All communications are encrypted using the server and the client-side certificate.
The AP comes pre-installed with all required SSL files: default certificate, private key and SSL Certificate Passphrase
installed.
Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based configuration utility that supports a set of keyboard commands and
parameters to configure and manage an AP.
Users enter Command Statements, composed of CLI Commands and their associated parameters. Statements may
be issued from the keyboard for real time control, or from scripts that automate configuration.
For example, when downloading a file, administrators enter the download CLI Command along with IP Address, file
name, and file type parameters.
You access the CLI over a HyperTerminal serial connection or via Telnet. During initial configuration, you can use the
CLI over a serial port connection to configure an Access Points IP address. When accessing the CLI via Telnet, you
can communicate with the Access Point from over your LAN (switch, hub, etc.), from over the Internet, or with a
crossover Ethernet cable connected directly to your computers Ethernet Port.
See Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) for more information on the CLI and for a list of CLI commands and
parameters.
15
Introduction
SNMP Management
In addition to the HTTP and the CLI interfaces, you can also manage and configure an AP using the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). Note that this requires an SNMP manager program, like HP Openview or Castlerocks
SNMPc.
The AP supports several Management Information Base (MIB) files that describe the parameters that can be viewed
and/or configured over SNMP:
MIB-II (RFC 1213)
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
Ethernet-like MIB (RFC 1643)
802.11 MIB
ORiNOCO Enterprise MIB
Proxim provides these MIB files on the CD included with each Access Point. You need to compile one or more of the
above MIBs into your SNMP programs database before you can manage an Access Point using SNMP. Refer to the
documentation that came with your SNMP manager for instructions on how to compile MIBs.
The Enterprise MIB defines the read and read-write objects that can be viewed or configured using SNMP. These
objects correspond to most of the settings and statistics that are available with the other management interfaces. Refer
to the Enterprise MIB for more information; the MIB can be opened with any text editor, such as Microsoft Word,
Notepad, or WordPad.
SNMPv3 Secure Management
SNMPv3 is one of two available secure management options on the AP; the other secure management option is
HTTPS (HTTP connection over Secure Socket Layer). SNMPv3 is based on the existing SNMP framework, but
addresses security requirements for device and network management.
The security threats addressed by Secure Management are:
Modification of information: An entity could alter an in-transit message generated by an authorized entity in such a
way as to effect unauthorized management operations, including the setting of object values. The essence of this
threat is that an unauthorized entity could change any management parameter, including those related to
configuration, operations, and accounting
Masquerade: Management operations that are not authorized for some entity may be attempted by that entity by
assuming the identity of an authorized entity.
Message stream modification: SNMP is designed to operate over a connectionless transport protocol. There is a
threat that SNMP messages could be reordered, delayed, or replayed (duplicated) to effect unauthorized
management operations. For example, a message to reboot a device could be copied and replayed later.
Disclosure: An entity could observe exchanges between a manager and an agent and thereby learns the values of
managed objects and learn of notifiable events. For example, the observation of a set command that changes
passwords would enable an attacker to learn the new passwords.
To address the security threats listed above, SNMPv3 provides the following when secure management is enabled:
Authentication: Provides data integrity and data origin authentication.
Privacy (a.k.a Encryption): Protects against disclosure of message payload.
Access Control: Controls and authorizes access to managed objects
The default SNMPv3 username is administrator, with SHA authentication, and DES privacy protocol.
NOTE
The remainder of this guide describes how to configure an AP using the HTTP Web interface or the CLI
interface. For information on how to manage devices using SNMP, refer to the documentation that came with
your SNMP program. Also, refer to the MIB files for information on the parameters available via SNMP.

Prerequisites
Before installing an AP, you need to gather certain network information. The following section identifies the information
you need.
NOTE
Passwords must be configured with at least 6 characters in length.
Network Name (SSID of the wireless cards) You must assign the Access Point a Primary Network Name before wireless users can
communicate with it. The clients also need the same Network Name. This is not the same
as the System Name, which applies only to the Access Point. The network administrator
typically provides the Network Name.
APs IP Address If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, then you need to assign the
Access Point an IP address that is valid on your network.
HTTP Password Each Access Point requires a read/write password to access the web interface. The default
password is public.
CLI Password Each Access Point requires a read/write password to access the CLI interface. The default
password is public.
SNMP Read Password Each Access Point requires a password to allow get requests from an SNMP manager.
The default password is public.
SNMP Read-Write Password Each Access Point requires a password to allow get and set requests from an SNMP
manager. The default password is public. This password must be at least 6 characters in
length.
SNMPv3 Authentication Password If Secure Management is enabled, each Access Point requires a password for sending
authenticated SNMPv3 messages. The default password is public.
The default SNMPv3 username is administrator, with SHA authentication, and DES
privacy protocol.
SNMPv3 Privacy Password If Secure Management is enabled, each Access Point requires a password when sending
encrypted SNMPv3 data. The default password is public.
Security Settings You need to determine what security features you will enable on the Access Point.
Authentication Method A primary authentication server may be configured; a backup authentication server is
optional. The network administrator typically provides this information.
Authentication Server Shared Secret This is a password shared between the Access Point and the RADIUS authentication
server (so both passwords must be the same), and is typically provided by the network
administrator.
Authentication Server Authentication Port This is a port number (default is 1812) and is typically provided by the network
administrator.
Client IP Address Pool Allocation Scheme The Access Point can automatically provide IP addresses to clients as they sign on. The
network administrator typically provides the IP Pool range.
DNS Server IP Address The network administrator typically provides this IP Address.

Getting Started
Initialization
Proxim provides two tools to simplify the initialization and configuration of an AP:
ScanTool
Setup Wizard
ScanTool is included on the Installation CD; the Setup Wizard launches automatically the first time you access the
HTTP interface.
NOTE
These initialization instructions describe how to configure an AP over an Ethernet connection using ScanTool
and the HTTP interface. If you want to configure the unit over the serial port, see Setting IP Address using
Serial Port for information on how to access the CLI over a serial connection and Using the Command Line
Interface (CLI) for a list of supported commands.
ScanTool
ScanTool is a software utility that is included on the installation CD-ROM. ScanTool allows you to find the IP address of
an Access Point by referencing the MAC address in a Scan List, or to assign an IP address if one has not been
assigned.
The tool automatically detects the Access Points installed on your network, regardless of IP address, and lets you
configure each units IP settings. In addition, you can use ScanTool to download new software to an AP that does not
have a valid software image installed (see Client Connection Problems).
To access the HTTP interface and configure the AP, the AP must be assigned an IP address that is valid on its
Ethernet network. By default, the AP is configured to obtain an IP address automatically from a network Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server during boot-up. If your network contains a DHCP server, you can run ScanTool
to find out what IP address the AP has been assigned. If your network does not contain a DHCP server, the
Access Points IP address defaults to 10.0.0.1. In this case, you can use ScanTool to assign the AP a static IP address
that is valid on your network.
ScanTool Instructions
Follow these steps to install ScanTool, initialize the Access Point, and perform initial configuration:
1. Locate the units Ethernet MAC address and write it down for future reference. The MAC address is printed on the
product label. Each unit has a unique MAC address, which is assigned at the factory.
2. Confirm that the AP is connected to the same LAN subnet as the computer that you will use to configure the AP.
3. Power up, reboot, or reset the AP.
Result: The unit requests an IP Address from the network DHCP server.
4. Insert the Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive of the computer that you will use to configure the AP.
Result: The installation program will launch automatically.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Access Point software and documentation.
NOTE
The ORiNOCO Installation program supports the following operating systems:
Windows 98SE
Windows 2000
Windows NT
Windows ME
Windows XP
6. After the software has been installed, double-click the ScanTool icon on the Windows desktop to launch the
program (if the program is not already running).
Result: ScanTool scans the subnet and displays all detected Access Points. The ScanTools Scan List screen
appears, as shown in the following example.
25
Getting Started
NOTE
If your computer has more than one network adapter installed, you will be prompted to select the adapter that
you want ScanTool to use before the Scan List appears. If prompted, select an adapter and click OK. You
can change your adapter setting at any time by clicking the Select Adapter button on the Scan List screen.
Note that the ScanTool Network Adapter Selection screen will not appear if your computer only has one
network adapter installed.
Figure 2-13 Scan List
7. Locate the MAC address of the AP you want to initialize within the Scan List.
NOTE
If your Access Point does not show up in the Scan List, click the Rescan button to update the display. If the
unit still does not appear in the list, see Troubleshooting the AP-2000 for suggestions. Note that after
rebooting an Access Point, it may take up to five minutes for the unit to appear in the Scan List.
8. Do one of the following:
If the AP has been assigned an IP address by a DHCP server on the network, write down the IP address and
click Cancel to close ScanTool. Proceed to Setup Wizard for information on how to access the HTTP interface
using this IP address.
If the AP has not been assigned an IP address (in other words, the unit is using its default IP address,
10.0.0.1), follow these steps to assign it a static IP address that is valid on your network:
1. Highlight the entry for the AP you want to configure.
2. Click the Change button.
Result: the Change screen appears.

Installing the AP in a Plenum
In an office building, plenum is the space between the structural ceiling and the tile ceiling that is provided to help air
circulate. Many companies also use the plenum to house communication equipment and cables. However, these
products and cables must comply with certain safety requirements, such as Underwriter Labs (UL) Standard 2043:
Standard for Fire Test for Heat and Visible Smoke Release for Discrete Products and Their Accessories Installed in
Air-Handling Spaces.
The AP has been certified under UL Standard 2043 and can be installed in the plenum only when the following
conditions apply:
The unit's plastic cover has been removed.
The power supply of the Access Point has been removed.
There are two 802.11b cards in the cards slots.
OR
There is one 802.11b card and the other card slot is protected with the metal faceplate provided in your kit.
NOTE
The 5GHz Antenna Adapter Kit or 11a Upgrade Kit is not approved in accordance with UL-2043 for use in a
plenum. The Access Point using a power supply, should not be plenum mounted. Use Active Ethernet to
power the units mounted in a plenum environment.
Installing/Removing the Metal Faceplate
When using only one card in the Access Point mounted in a plenum environment, remove the plastic cover. Place the
top edge of the faceplate under the front ridge of the metal enclosure. Snap the faceplate in the empty card slot in the
Access Point.
CAUTION
!
Do not drop the faceplate into the card slot in the AP.
To install a second radio card, the faceplate must be removed. Gently pry the faceplate off using the tab on the
faceplate.
32
Getting Started
Active Ethernet
An Active Ethernet-enabled AP is equipped with an 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module. Active Ethernet (AE)
delivers both data and power to the access point over a single Ethernet cable. If you choose to use Active Ethernet,
there is no difference in operation; the only difference is in the power source.
The Active Ethernet (AE) integrated module receives ~48 VDC over a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable.
To use Active Ethernet, you must have an AE hub (also known as a power injector) connected to the network.
The cable length between the AE hub and the Access Point should not exceed 100 meters (approximately
325 feet).
The AE hub is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
If connected to an AE hub and an AC power simultaneously, the Access Point draws power from Active
Ethernet.
Maximum power supplied to an Access Point is 11 Watts; the unit typically draws approximately 10 Watts.
Also see Hardware Specifications.
NOTE
The APs 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module is backwards compatible with all ORiNOCO Active
Ethernet hubs that do not support the IEEE 802.3af standard.

DNS is a distributed database mapping the user readable names and IP addresses (and more) of every registered
system on the Internet. Dynamic DNS is a lightweight mechanism which allows for modification of the DNS data of
host systems whose IP addresses change dynamically. Dynamic DNS is usually used in conjunction with DHCP for
assigning meaningful names to host systems whose IP addresses change dynamically.
Access Points provide DDNS support by adding the host name (option 12) in DHCP Client messages, which is used
by the DHCP server to dynamically update the DNS server.
Access Point System Naming Convention
The Access Point's system name is used as its host name. In order to prevent Access Points with default
configurations from registering similar host names in DNS, the default system name of the Access Point is uniquely
generated. Access Points generate unique system names by appending the last 3 bytes of the Access Point's MAC
address to the default system name.
The system name must be compliant with the encoding rules for host name as per DNS RFC 1123. The DNS host
name encoding rules are:
Characters have to be alphanumeric or hyphen.
The name cannot start or end with a hyphen.
The name cannot start with a digit.
The number of characters has to be 63 or less. (Currently the system name length is limited to 32 bytes).
Image upgrades could cause the system to boot with an older system name format that is not DNS compliant. To
prevent problems with dynamic DNS after an image upgrade, the system name will automatically be converted to a
DNS compliant system name.
The rules of conversion of older system names are:
If the length is greater than 63 then the string is truncated. (This will not happen since the system name is anyway
limited to 31 bytes)
All invalid characters at the beginning or end of the string are replaced with the character 'X'.
All other invalid characters are replaced with hyphens.

Network
The Network tab contains three sub-tabs.
IP Configuration
DHCP Server
Link Integrity
IP Configuration
You can configure and view the following parameters within the IP Configuration screen:
NOTE
You must reboot the Access Point in order for any changes to the Basic IP or DNS Client parameters take
effect.
Basic IP Parameters
IP Address Assignment Type: Set this parameter to Dynamic to configure the Access Point as a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client; the Access Point will obtain IP settings from a network DHCP server
automatically during boot-up. If you do not have a DHCP server or if you want to manually configure the
Access Points IP settings, set this parameter to Static.
IP Address: The Access Points IP address. When IP Address Assignment Type is set to Dynamic, this field is
read-only and reports the units current IP address. The Access Point will default to 10.0.0.1 if it cannot obtain an
address from a DHCP server.
Subnet Mask: The Access Points subnet mask. When IP Address Assignment Type is set to Dynamic, this field is
read-only and reports the units current subnet mask. The subnet mask will default to 255.0.0.0 if the unit cannot
obtain one from a DHCP server.
Gateway IP Address: The IP address of the Access Points gateway. When IP Address Assignment Type is set to
Dynamic, this field is read-only and reports the IP address of the units gateway. The gateway IP address will
default to 10.0.0.2 if the unit cannot obtain an address from a DHCP server.
DNS Client
If you prefer to use host names to identify network servers rather than IP addresses, you can configure the AP to act
as a Domain Name Service (DNS) client. When this feature is enabled, the Access Point contacts the networks DNS
server to translate a host name to the appropriate network IP address. You can use this DNS Client functionality to
identify RADIUS servers by host name. See RADIUS Profiles for details.
Enable DNS Client: Place a check mark in the box provided to enable DNS client functionality. Note that this
option must be enabled before you can configure the other DNS Client parameters.
DNS Primary Server IP Address: The IP address of the networks primary DNS server.
DNS Secondary Server IP Address: The IP address of a second DNS server on the network. The Access Point
will attempt to contact the secondary server if the primary server is unavailable.
DNS Client Default Domain Name: The default domain name for the Access Points network (for example,
proxim.com). Contact your network administrator if you need assistance setting this parameter.
Advanced
Default TTL (Time to Live): Time to Live (TTL) is a field in an IP packet that specifies how long in seconds the
packet can remain active on the network. The Access Point uses the default TTL for packets it generates for which
the transport layer protocol does not specify a TTL value. This parameter supports a range from 0 to 65535. By
default, TTL is 64.
40
DHCP Server
If your network does not have a DHCP Server, you can configure the AP as a DHCP server to assign dynamic IP
addresses to Ethernet nodes and wireless clients.
CAUTION
!
Make sure there are no other DHCP servers on the network and do not enable the DHCP server without
checking with your network administrator first, as it could bring down the whole network. Also, the AP must be
configured with a static IP address before enabling this feature.
When the DHCP Server functionality is enabled, you can create one or more IP address pools from which to assign
addresses to network devices.
Figure 4-3 DHCP Server Configuration Screen
41
You can configure and view the following parameters within the DHCP Server Configuration screen:
Enable DHCP Server: Place a check mark in the box provided to enable DHCP Server functionality.
NOTE
You cannot enable the DHCP Server functionality unless there is at least one IP Pool Table Entry configured.
Subnet Mask: This field is read-only and reports the Access Points current subnet mask. DHCP clients that
receive dynamic addresses from the AP will be assigned this same subnet mask.
Gateway IP Address: The AP will assign the specified address to its DHCP clients.
Primary DNS IP Address: The AP will assign the specified address to its DHCP clients.
Secondary DNS IP Address: The AP will assign the specified address to its DHCP clients.
Number of IP Pool Table Entries: This is a read-only field that reports the number of IP address pools currently
configured.
IP Pool Table Entry: This entry specifies a range of IP addresses that the AP can assign to its wireless clients.
The maximum number of entries allowed is 20. Click Add to create a new entry. Click Edit to change an existing
entry. Each entry contains the following field:
Start IP Address
End IP Address
Default Lease Time (optional): The default time value for clients to retain the assigned IP address. DHCP
automatically renews IP Addresses without client notification. This parameter supports a range between 3600
and 86400 seconds. The default is 86400 seconds.
Maximum Lease Time (optional): The maximum time value for clients to retain the assigned IP address.
DHCP automatically renews IP Addresses without client notification. This parameter supports a range
between 3600 and 86400 seconds. The default is 86400 seconds.
Comment (optional)
Status: IP Pools are enabled upon entry in the table. You can also disable or delete entries by changing this
fields value.
NOTE
You must reboot the Access Point before changes to any of these DHCP server parameters take effect.
Link Integrity
The Link Integrity feature checks the link between the AP and the nodes on the Ethernet backbone. These nodes are
listed by IP address in the Link Integrity IP Address Table. The AP periodically pings the nodes listed within the table.
If the AP loses network connectivity (that is, the ping attempts fail), the AP disables its wireless interface until the
connection is restored. This forces the units wireless clients to switch to another Access Point that still has a network
connection. Note that this feature does not affect WDS links (if applicable).
You can configure and view the following parameters within the Link Integrity Configuration screen:
Enable Link Integrity: Place a check mark in the box provided to enable Link Integrity.
Poll Interval (milliseconds): The interval between link integrity checks. Range is 500 - 15000 ms in increments of
500 ms; default is 500 ms.
Poll Retransmissions: The number of times a poll should be retransmitted before the link is considered down.
Range is 0 to 255; default is 5.
Target IP Address Entry: This entry specifies the IP address of a host on the network that the AP will periodically
poll to confirm connectivity. The table can hold up to five entries. By default, all five entries are set to 0.0.0.0. Click
Edit to update one or more entries. Each entry contains the following field:
Target IP Address
Comment (optional)
Status: Set this field to Enable to specify that the Access Point should poll this device. You can also disable
an entry by changing this fields value to Disable.

8Wireless-A and Wireless-B
Wireless A (802.11a)
You can configure and view the following parameters within the Wireless Interface Configuration screen for an
802.11a AP:
NOTE
You must reboot the Access Point before any changes to these parameters take effect.
Physical Interface Type: For an 802.11a AP, this field reports: 802.11a (OFDM 5 GHz). OFDM stands for
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing; this is the name for the radio technology used by 802.11a devices.
MAC Address: This is a read-only field that displays the unique MAC (Media Access Control) address for the
Access Points wireless interface. The MAC address is assigned at the factory.
Regulatory Domain: Reports the regulatory domain for which the AP is certified. Not all features or channels are
available in all countries. The available regulatory domains include:
FCC - U.S./Canada, Mexico, and Australia
ETSI - Europe and the United Kingdom
TELEC: J apan
SG: Singapore
ASIA: China, Hong Kong, and South Korea
TW: Taiwan
Network Name (SSID): Enter a Network Name (between 1 and 32 characters long) for the wireless network. You
must configure each wireless client to use this name as well.
Auto Channel Select: The AP scans the area for other Access Points and selects a free or relatively unused
communication channel. This helps prevent interference problems and increases network performance. By default
this feature is enabled. See 802.11a Channel Frequencies for a list of Channels.
NOTE
You cannot disable Auto Channel Select for 802.11a products in Europe (see Dynamic Frequency Selection
(DFS) for details).
Frequency Channel: When Auto Channel Select is enabled, this field is read-only and displays the Access Points
current operating Channel. When Auto Channel Select is disabled, you can specify the Access Points channel. If
you decide to manually set the units Channel, ensure that nearby devices do not use the same frequency.
Available Channels vary based on regulatory domain. See 802.11a Channel Frequencies. Note that you cannot
manually set the channel for 802.11a products in Europe (see Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for details).
Transmit Rate: Use the drop-down menu to select a specific transmit rate for the AP. Choose a particular rate
available for protocol being used or Auto Fallback. Auto Fallback is the default setting; it allows the AP unit to
select the best transmit rate based on the cell size.
DTIM Period: The Deferred Traffic Indicator Map (DTIM) is used with clients that have power management
enabled. DTIM should be left at 1, the default value, if any clients have power management enabled. This
parameter supports a range between 1 and 255.
44
RTS/CTS Medium Reservation: This parameter affects message flow control and should not be changed under
normal circumstances. Range is 0 to 2347. When set to a value between 0 and 2347, the Access Point uses the
RTS/CTS mechanism for packets that are the specified size or greater. When set to 2347 (the default setting),
RTS/CTS is disabled. See RTS/CTS Medium Reservation for more information.
Closed System: Check this box to allow only clients configured with the Access Points specific Network Name to
associate with the Access Point. When enabled, a client configured with the Network Name ANY cannot connect
to the AP. This option is disabled by default. See Broadcast SSID and Closed System for more information.
Wireless Service Status: Select shutdown to shutdown the wireless service on a wireless interface, or resume
to resume wireless service. See Wireless Service Status for more information.
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
802.11a APs sold in Europe use a technique called Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) to automatically select an
operating channel. During boot-up, the AP scans the available frequency and selects a channel that is free of
interference. If the AP subsequently detects interference on its channel, it automatically reboots and selects another
channel that is free of interference.
DFS only applies to 802.11a APs used in Europe (i.e., units whose regulatory domain is set to ETSI). The European
Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) requires that 802.11a devices use DFS to prevent interference with
radar systems and other devices that already occupy the 5 GHz band.
If you are using an 802.11a AP in Europe, keep in mind the following:
DFS is not a configurable parameter. It is always enabled and cannot be disabled.
You cannot manually select the devices operating channel; you must let DFS select the channel.
You cannot configure the Auto Channel Select option. Within the HTTP interface, this option always appears
enabled.
RTS/CTS Medium Reservation
The 802.11 standard supports optional RTS/CTS communication based on packet size. Without RTS/CTS, a sending
radio listens to see if another radio is already using the medium before transmitting a data packet. If the medium is
free, the sending radio transmits its packet. However, there is no guarantee that another radio is not transmitting a
packet at the same time, causing a collision. This typically occurs when there are hidden nodes (clients that can
communicate with the Access Point but are out of range of each other) in very large cells.
When RTS/CTS occurs, the sending radio first transmits a Request to Send (RTS) packet to confirm that the medium
is clear. When the receiving radio successfully receives the RTS packet, it transmits back a Clear to Send (CTS)
packet to the sending radio. When the sending radio receives the CTS packet, it sends the data packet to the receiving
radio. The RTS and CTS packets contain a reservation time to notify other radios (including hidden nodes) that the
medium is in use for a specified period. This helps to minimize collisions. While RTS/CTS adds overhead to the radio
network, it is particularly useful for large packets that take longer to resend after a collision occurs.
RTS/CTS Medium Reservation is an advanced parameter and supports a range between 0 and 2347 bytes. When set
to 2347 (the default setting), the RTS/CTS mechanism is disabled. When set to 0, the RTS/CTS mechanism is used
for all packets. When set to a value between 0 and 2347, the Access Point uses the RTS/CTS mechanism for packets
that are the specified size or greater. You should not need to enable this parameter for most networks unless you
suspect that the wireless cell contains hidden nodes.
Wireless Service Status
The user can shutdown (or resume) the wireless service on the wireless interface of the AP through the CLI, HTTP, or
SNMP interface. When the wireless service on a wireless interface is shutdown, the AP will:
Stop the AP services to wireless clients connected on that wireless interface by disassociating them
Disable the associated BSS ports on that interface
Disable the transmission and reception of frames on that interface
Indicate the wireless service shutdown status of the wireless interface through LED and traps
Enable Ethernet interface so that it can receive a wireless service resume command through CLI/HTTP/SNMP
interface
NOTE
WSS disables only BSS ports; WDS ports are still operational.
45
In shutdown state, AP will not transmit and receive frames from the wireless interface and will stop transmitting
periodic beacons. Moreover, none of the frames received from the Ethernet interface will be forwarded to that wireless
interface.
Wireless service on a wireless interface of the AP can be resumed through CLI/HTTP/SNMP management interface.
When wireless service on a wireless interface is resumed, the AP will:
Enable the transmission and reception of frames on that wireless interface
Enable the associated BSS port on that interface
Start the AP services to wireless clients
Indicate the wireless service resume status of the wireless interface through LED and traps
After wireless service resumes, the AP resumes beaconing, transmitting and receiving frames to/from the wireless
interface and bridging the frames between the Ethernet and the wireless interface.
Traps Generated During Wireless Service Shutdown (and Resume)
The following traps are generated during wireless service shutdown and resume, and are also sent to any configured
Syslog server.
When the wireless service is shutdown on a wireless interface, the AP generates a trap called
oriTrapWirelessServiceShutdown.
When the wireless service is resumed on a wireless interface, the AP generate a trap called
oriTrapWirelessServiceResumed.
NOTE
Wireless service can be shutdown/resumed on each wireless interface individually.
Wireless Interface Activity LED and Wireless Service Shutdown
When the wireless service is shutdown on a wireless interface, the Wireless Interface Activity LED for that interface
changes to an amber color.
When wireless service is resumed on a wireless interface, the Wireless Interface Activity LED for that interface
maintains an OFF state while there is no wireless link activity and changes to green color when there is wireless link
activity.
Wireless (802.11b)
You can configure and view the following parameters within the Wireless Interface Configuration screen for an
802.11b AP:
NOTE
Physical Interface Type: For 802.11b AP, this field reports: 802.11b (DSSS 2.4 GHz). DSSS stands for Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum; this is the name for the radio technology used by 802.11b devices.

46
current operating channel. When Auto Channel Select is disabled, you can specify the Access Points operating
channel. If you decide to manually set the units channel, ensure that nearby devices do not use the same
frequency (unless you are setting up a WDS). Available Channels vary based on regulatory domain. See 802.11b
Channel Frequencies.
Distance Between APs: Set to Large, Medium, Small, Microcell, or Minicell depending on the site survey for
your system. By default, this parameter is set to Large. The distance value is related to the Multicast Rate
(described next). In general, a larger distance between APs means that your clients operate a slower data rates
(on average). This feature is available only if you are using an Orinoco Classic Gold card. See Distance Between
APs for more information.
Multicast Rate: Sets the rate at which Multicast messages are sent. This value is related to the Distance Between
APs parameter (described previously). The table below displays the possible Multicast Rates based on the
Distance between APs setting. By default, this parameter is set to 2 Mbits/sec. This feature is available only if you
are using an Orinoco Classic Gold card. See Multicast Rate for more information.
Interference Robustness: Enable this option if other electrical devices in the 2.4 GHz frequency band (such as a
microwave oven or a cordless phone) may be interfering with the wireless signal. The AP will automatically
fragment large packets into multiple smaller packets when interference is detected to increase the likelihood that
the messages will be received in the presence of interference. The receiving radio reassembles the original packet
once all fragments have been received. This feature is available only if you are using an Orinoco Classic Gold
card. This option is disabled by default.
associate with the Access Point. When enabled, a client configured with the Network Name ANY cannot connect
Wireless Service Status: Select shutdown to shutdown the wireless service on a wireless interface, or resume
to resume wireless service. See Wireless Service Status for more information.
Load Balancing: Enable this option so clients can evaluate which Access Point to associate with, based on
current AP loads. This feature is enabled by default; it helps distribute the wireless load between APs. This feature
is not available if you are using an ORiNOCO ComboCard or a non-ORiNOCO client with the AP.
Medium Density Distribution: When enabled, the Access Point automatically notifies wireless clients of its
Distance Between APs, Interference Robustness, and RTS/CTS Medium Reservation settings. This feature is
enabled by default and allows clients to automatically adopt the values used by its current Access Point (even if
these values differ from the clients default values or from the values supported by other Access Points). Note that
this feature is available only if you are using an Orinoco Classic Gold card. Proxim recommends that you leave this
parameter enabled, particularly if you have ORiNOCO clients on your wireless network (leaving this parameter
enabled should not adversely affect the performance of any ORiNOCO ComboCards or non-ORiNOCO cards on
your network).
Distance Between APs
Distance Between APs defines how far apart (physically) your AP devices are located, which in turn determines the
size of your cell. Cells of different sizes have different capacities and, therefore, suit different applications. For
instance, a typical office has many stations that require high bandwidth for complex, high-speed data processing. In
contrast, a typical warehouse has a few forklifts requiring low bandwidth for simple transactions.
47
NOTE
This feature is available only if you are using an Orinoco Classic Gold card.
Cell capacities are compared in the following table, which shows that small cells suit most offices and large cells suit
most warehouses:
Coverage
The number of Access Points in a set area determines the network coverage for that area. A large number of
Access Points covering a small area is a high-density cell. A few Access Points, or even a single unit, covering the
same small area would result in a low-density cell, even though in both cases the actual area did not change only
the number of Access Points covering the area changed.
In a typical office, a high density area consists of a number of Access Points installed every 20 feet and each
Access Point generates a small radio cell with a diameter of about 10 feet. In contrast, a typical warehouse might have
a low density area consisting of large cells (with a diameter of about 90 feet) and Access Points installed every
200 feet.
Figure 4-5 Low Density vs. Ultra High Density Network
The Distance Between Cells parameter supports five values: Large, Medium, Small, Minicell, and Microcell.
CAUTION
!
The distance between APs should not be approximated. It is calculated by means of a manual Site Survey, in
which an AP is set up and clients are tested throughout the area to determine signal strength and coverage,
and local limits such as physical interference are investigated. From these measurements the appropriate cell
size and density is determined, and the optimum distance between APs is calculated to suit your particular
business requirements. Contact your reseller for information on how to conduct a Site Survey.
Multicast Rate
The multicast rate determines the rate at which broadcast and multicast packets are transmitted by the Access Point to
the wireless network. Stations that are closer to the Access Point can receive multicast packets at a faster data rate
than stations that are farther away from the AP. Therefore, you should set the Multicast Rate based on the size of the
Access Points cell. For example, if the Access Points cell is very small (e.g., Distance Between APs is set to
Microcell), you can expect that all stations should be able to successfully receive multicast packets at 11 MBits/sec so
you can set Multicast Rate to 11 Mbits/sec. However, if the Access Points cell is large, you need to accommodate
Small Cell Large Cell
Physically accommodates few stations Physically accommodates many stations
High cell bandwidth per station Lower cell bandwidth per station
High transmit rate Lower transmit rate
48
stations that may not be able to receive multicast packets at the higher rates; in this case, you should set Multicast
Rate to 1 or 2 Mbits/sec.
Figure 4-6 1 Mbits/s and 11 Mbits/s Multicast Rates
NOTE
There is an inter-dependent relationship between the Distance between APs and the Multicast Rate. In
general, larger systems operate at a lower average transmit rate. The variation between Multicast Rate and
Distance Between APs is presented in the following table:
The Distance Between APs must be set before the Multicast Rate, because when you select the Distance
Between APs, the appropriate range of Multicast values automatically populates the drop-down menu. This
feature is not available if you are using an ORiNOCO ComboCard or a non-ORiNOCO client with the AP.
Wireless (802.11b/g)
You can configure the following radio parameters for an 802.11b/g AP:
NOTE
Operational Mode: An 802.11b/g wireless interface can be configured to operate in the following modes:
802.11b mode only: The radio uses the 802.11b standard only.
802.11g mode only: The radio is optimized to communicate with 802.11g devices. This setting will provide
the best results if this radio interface will only communicate with 802.11g devices.
1.0 Mbit/s 2.0 Mbits/s 5.5 Mbits/s 11 Mbits/s
Large yes yes
Medium yes yes yes
Small yes yes yes yes
Minicell yes yes yes yes
Microcell yes yes yes yes
49
802.11b/g mode: This is the default mode. Use this mode if you want to support a mix of 802.11b and
802.11g devices.
802.11g-wifi: This mode was developed for Wi-Fi compliance testing purposes. It is similar to 802.11g only
mode.
In general, you should use either 802.11g only mode (if you want to support 802.11g devices only) or 802.11b/g
mode to support a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g devices.
Physical Interface Type: Depending on the Operational Mode, this field reports:
For 802.11b mode only: "802.11b (CCK/DSSS 2.4 GHz)"
For 802.11g and 802.11g-wifi modes: "802.11g (OFDM/DSSS 2.4 GHz)"
For 802.11b/g mode: "802.11b/g (ERP-CCK/DSSS/OFDM 2.4 GHz)"
OFDM stands for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing; this is the name for the radio technology used by
802.11a devices. DSSS stands for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum; this is the name for the radio technology
used by 802.11b devices.

current operating channel. When Auto Channel Select is disabled, you can specify the Access Points operating
channel. If you decide to manually set the units channel, ensure that nearby devices do not use the same
frequency (unless you are setting up a WDS). Available Channels vary based on regulatory domain. See 802.11g
Channel Frequencies.
Transmit Rate: Select a specific transmit rate for the AP. The values available depend on the Operational Mode.
Auto Fallback is the default setting; it allows the AP to select the best transmit rate based on the cell size.
For 802.11b only -- Auto Fallback, 1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbits/sec
For 802.11g only -- Auto Fallback, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbits/sec
For 802.11b/g and 802.11g-wifi -- Auto Fallback, 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbits/sec

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) creates a link between two 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11b/g APs over their radio
interfaces. This link relays traffic from one AP that does not have Ethernet connectivity to a second AP that has
Ethernet connectivity. WDS allows you to configure up to six (6) point-to-point links between Access Points.
In the WDS Example below, AP 1 and AP 2 communicate over a WDS link (represented by the blue line). This link
provides Client 1 with access to network resources even though AP 1 is not directly connected to the Ethernet
network. Packets destined for or sent by the client are relayed between the Access Points over the WDS link.
50
Figure 4-7 WDS Example
Bridging WDS
Each WDS link is mapped to a logical WDS port on the AP. WDS ports behave like Ethernet ports rather than like
standard wireless interfaces: on a BSS port, an Access Point learns by association and from frames; on a WDS or
Ethernet port, an Access Point learns from frames only. When setting up a WDS, keep in mind the following:
The WDS link shares the communication bandwidth with the clients. Therefore, while the maximum data rate for
the Access Points cell is still 11 Mb, client throughput will decrease when the WDS link is active.
If there is no partner MAC address configured in the WDS table, the WDS port remains disabled.
Each WDS port on a single AP should have a unique partner MAC address. Do not enter the same MAC address
twice in an APs WDS port list.
Each Access Point that is a member of the WDS must have the same Channel setting to communicate with each
other.
Each Access Point that is a member of the WDS must have the same network domain.
Each Access Point that is a member of the WDS must have the same WEP Encryption settings. WDS does not
use 802.1x. Therefore, if you want to encrypt the WDS link, you must configure each Access Point to use WEP
encryption, and each Access Point must have the same Encryption Key(s). See SSID/VLAN/Security.
If your network does not support spanning tree, be careful to avoid creating network loops between APs. For
example, creating a WDS link between two Access Points connected to the same Ethernet network will create a
network loop (if spanning tree is disabled). For more information, refer to the Spanning Tree section.
WDS Setup Procedure
NOTE
You must disable Auto Channel Select to create a WDS. Each Access Point that is a member of the WDS
must have the same Channel setting to communicate with each other.
NOTE
For radio cards that belong to the ETSI regulatory domain, ACS is enabled by default, and cannot be disabled.
Therefore, it is not possible to set up a WDS link. This only applies to ETSI 802.11a wireless radios.

Select the desired speed and transmission mode from the drop-down menu. Half-duplex means that only one side can
transmit at a time and full-duplex allows both sides to transmit. When set to auto-duplex, the AP negotiates with its
switch or hub to automatically select the highest throughput option supported by both sides.
For best results, Proxim recommends that you configure the Ethernet setting to match the speed and transmission
mode of the device the Access Point is connected to (such as a hub or switch). If in doubt, leave this setting at its
default, auto-speed-auto-duplex. Choose between:
10 Mbit/s - half duplex, full duplex, or auto duplex
100 Mbit/s - half duplex or full duplex
auto speed - half duplex or auto duplex

Passwords
The following passwords are configurable:
SNMP Read Community Password: The password for read access to the AP using SNMP. Enter a password in
both the Password field and the Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32 characters. The default
password is public.
SNMP Read/Write Community Password: The password for read and write access to the AP using SNMP. Enter
a password in both the Password field and the Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32
characters. The default password is public.
SNMPv3 Authentication Password: The password used when sending authenticated SNMPv3 messages. Enter
a password in both the Password field and the Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32
characters, but a length of at least at least 8 characters is recommended. The default password is public. Secure
Management (Services tab) must be enabled to configure SNMPv3.
The default SNMPv3 username is administrator, with SHA authentication, and DES privacy protocol.
SNMPv3 Privacy Password: The password used when sending encrypted SNMPv3 data. Enter a password in
both the Password field and the Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32 characters, but a length
of at least at least 8 characters is recommended. The default password is public. Secure Management (Services
tab) must be enabled to configure SNMPv3.
Telnet (CLI) Password: The password for the CLI interface (via serial or Telnet). Enter a password in both the
Password field and the Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32 characters. The default password
is public.
HTTP (Web) Password: The password for the Web browser HTTP interface. Enter a password in both the
Password field and the Confirm field. This password must be between 6 and 32 characters. The default password
is public.
NOTE
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 Management IP Access table limits in-band management access 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. To configure this table, click Add and set the following parameters:
IP Address: Enter the IP Address for the management station.
IP Mask: Enter a mask that will act as a filter to limit access to a range of IP Addresses based on the IP Address
you already entered.
The IP mask 255.255.255.255 would authorize the single station defined by the IP Address to configure the
Access Point. The AP would ignore commands from any other IP address. In contrast, the IP mask
255.255.255.0 would allow any device that shares the first three octets of the IP address to configure the AP.
For example, if you enter an IP address of 10.20.30.1 with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, any IP address
between 10.20.30.1 and 10.20.30.254 will have access to the APs management interfaces.
Comment: Enter an optional comment, such as the station name.
To edit or delete an entry, click Edit. Edit the information, or select Enable, Disable, or Delete from the Status
pull-down menu.

Services
You can configure the following management services:
NOTE
You must reboot the Access Point if you change the HTTP Port or Telnet Port.
Secure Management
Secure Management allows the use of encrypted and authenticated communication protocols such as SNMPv3, and
Secure Socket Link (SSL), to manage the Access Point.
Secure Management Status: Enables the further configuration of HTTPS Access, and SNMPv3. After enabling
Secure Management, you can choose to configure HTTPS (SSL) access on the Services tab, and configure
SNMPv3 passwords on the Passwords tab.
SNMP Settings
SNMP Interface Bitmask: Configure the interface or interfaces (Ethernet, Wireless-Slot A, Wireless-Slot B, All
Interfaces) from which you will manage the AP via SNMP. Select Disabled to prevent a user from accessing the
AP via SNMP.
HTTP Access
HTTP Interface Bitmap: Configure the interface or interfaces (Ethernet, Wireless-Slot A, Wireless-Slot B, All
Interfaces) from which you will manage the AP via the Web interface. For example, to allow Web configuration via
the Ethernet network only, set HTTP Interface Bitmask to Ethernet. Select Disabled to prevent a user from
accessing the AP from the Web interface.
HTTP Port: Configure the HTTP port from which you will manage the AP via the Web interface. By default, the
HTTP port is 80. You must reboot the Access Point if you change the HTTP Port.
HTTP Setup Wizard: The Setup Wizard appears automatically the first time you access the HTTP interface. If you
exited out of the Setup Wizard and want to relaunch it, enable this option, click OK, and then close your browser or
reboot the AP. The Setup Wizard will appear the next time you access the HTTP interface.
HTTPS Access
HTTPS (Secure Web Status): The user can access the AP in a secure fashion using Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
over port 443. The AP comes pre-installed with all required SSL files: default certificate and private key installed.
Check this box to enable SSL on the AP.
SSL Certificate Passphrase: After enabling SSL, the only configurable parameter is the SSL passphrase. The
default SSL passphrase is proxim.
The AP supports SSLv3 with a 128-bit encryption certificate maintained by the AP for secure communications
between the AP and the HTTP client. All communications are encrypted using the server and the client-side
certificate.
If you decide to upload a new certificate and private key (using TFTP or HTTP File Transfer), you need to change
the SSL Certificate Passphrase for the new SSL files.
NOTE
SSL requires Internet Explorer version 6, 128 bit encryption, Service Pack 1, and patch Q323308.
NOTE
You need to reboot the AP after enabling or disabling SSL for the changes to take effect.
Accessing the AP through the HTTPS interface
The user should use a SSL intelligent browser to access the AP through the HTTPS interface. After configuring
SSL, access the AP using https:// followed by the APs management IP address.

Telnet Configuration Settings
Telnet Interface Bitmask: Select the interface (Ethernet, Wireless-Slot A, Wireless-Slot B, All Interfaces) from
which you can manage the AP via telnet. This parameter can also be used to Disable telnet management.
Telnet Port: The default port number for Telnet applications is 23. However, you can use this field if you want to
change the Telnet port for security reasons (but your Telnet application also must support the new port number you
select). You must reboot the Access Point if you change the Telnet Port.
Login Idle Timeout (seconds): Enter the number of seconds the system will wait for a login attempt. The AP
terminates the session when it times out. The range is 1 to 300 seconds; the default is 30 seconds.
Session Idle Timeout (seconds): Enter the number of seconds the system will wait during a session while there
is no activity. The AP will terminate the session on timeout. The range is 1 to 36000 seconds; the default is 900
seconds.
Secure Shell (SSH) Settings
The AP supports SSH version 2, for secure remote CLI (Telnet) sessions. SSH provides strong authentication and
encryption of session data.
The SSH server (AP) has host keys - a pair of assymetric keys - a private key that resides on the AP and a public
key that is distributed to clients that need to connect to the AP. As the client has knowledge of the server host keys,
the client can verify that it is communicating with the correct SSH server. The client authentication can be performed in
two ways:
Using asymmetric keys. This method requires all the client keys to be installed on the AP.
Using a username/password pair to authenticate the user over a secure channel created using SSH.
SSH Session Setup
An SSH session is setup through the following process:
The SSH server public key is transferred to the client using out-of-band or in-band mechanisms.
The SSH client verifies the correctness of the server using the servers public key.
The user/client authenticates to the server.
An encrypted data session starts. The maximum number of SSH sessions is limited to two. If there is no activity for
a specified amount of time (the Telnet Session Timeout parameter), the AP will timeout the connection.
SSH Clients
The following SSH clients have been verified to interoperate with the APs server. The following table lists the clients,
version number, and the website of the client.
For key generation, OpenSSH client has been verified.
Configuring SSH
Perform the following procedure to enable or disable SSH and set the SSH host key:
1. Click Configure -> Management -> Services.
2. To enable SSH, select Enable from the Enable SSH (Secure Shell) drop down menu.
NOTE
When Secure Management is enabled on the AP, SSH will be enabled by default and cannot be disabled.
3. Select the SSH Host Key Status from the drop-down menu.
Host keys must either be generated externally and uploaded to the AP (see Uploading Externally Generated Host
Keys), generated manually, or auto-generated at the time of SSH initialization if SSH is enabled and no host keys are
present. There is no key present in an AP that is in a factory default state.

Per for ming Advanced Configur at ion
Ser ial Configur ation Settings
The serial port interface on the AP is enabled at all times. See Setting IP Address using Serial Port for information on
how to access the CLI interface via the serial port. You can configure and view following parameters:
Serial Baud Rate: Select the serial port speed (bits per second). Choose between 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, or 57600; the default Baud Rate is 9600.
Serial Flow Control: Select either None (default) or Xon/Xoff (software controlled) data flow control.
NOTE
To avoid potential problems when communicating with the AP through the serial port, Proxim recommends
that you leave the Flow Control setting at None (the default value).
Serial Data Bits: This is a read-only field and displays the number of data bits used in serial communication
(8 data bits by default).
Serial Parity: This is a read-only field and displays the number of parity bits used in serial communication
(no parity bits by default).
Serial Stop Bits: This is a read-only field that displays the number of stop bits used in serial communication
(1 stop bit by default).
NOTE
The serial port bit configuration is commonly referred to as 8N1.
RADIUS Based Management Access
User management of APs can be centralized by using a RADIUS server to store user credentials. The AP
cross-checks credentials using RADIUS protocol and the RADIUS server accepts or rejects the user.
HTTP/HTTPS and Telnet/SSH users can be managed with RADIUS. Serial CLI and SNMP cannot be managed by
RADIUS. Two types of users can be supported using centralized RADIUS management:
Super User: The super user has access to all functionality of a management interface. A super user is configured
in the RADIUS server by setting the filter ID attribute (returned in the RADIUS Accept packet) for the user to a
value of super user (not case sensitive). A user is considered a super user if the value of the filter-id attribute
returned in the RADIUS Accept packet for the user is super user (not case sensitive).
Limited User: A limited user has access to only a limited set of functionality on a management interface. All users
who are not super users are considered limited users. However, a limited user is configured in the RADIUS server
by setting the filter-id attribute (returned in the RADIUS Accept packet) to limited user (not case sensitive).
Limited users do not have access to the following configuration capabilities:
Update/retrieve files to and from APs
Reset the AP to factory defaults
Reboot the AP
Change management properties related to RADIUS, management modes, and management passwords.
When RADIUS Based Management is enabled, a local user can be configured to provide Telnet, SSH, and HTTP(S)
access to the AP when RADIUS servers fail. The local user has super user capabilities. When secure management is
enabled, the local user can only login using secure means (i.e., SSH or SSL). When the local user option is disabled
the only access to the AP when RADIUS servers are down will be through serial CLI or SNMP.
The Radius Based Management Access parameters allows you to enable HTTP or Telnet Radius Management
Access, to configure a RADIUS Profile for management access control, and to enable or disable local user access,
and configure the local user password. You can configure and view the following parameters:
HTTP RADIUS Access Control Status: Enable RADIUS management of HTTP/HTTPS users.
Telnet RADIUS Access Control Status: Enable RADIUS management of Telnet/SSH users.
RADIUS Profile for Management Access Control: Specifies the RADIUS Profile to be used for RADIUS Based
Management Access.
Local User Status: Enables or disables the local user when RADIUS Based Management is enabled. The default
local user ID is root.
Local User Password and Confirm Password: The default local user password is public. Root cannot be
configured as a valid user for Radius based management access when local user access is enabled.
59
Automatic Configuration (AutoConfig)
The Automatic Configuration feature which allows an AP to be automatically configured by downloading a specific
configuration file from a TFTP server during the boot up process.
Automatic Configuration is disabled by default. The configuration process for Automatic Configuration varies
depending on whether the AP is configured for dynamic or static IP.
When an AP is configured for dynamic IP, the Configuration filename and the TFTP server IP address are contained in
the DHCP response when the AP gets its IP address dynamically from the DHCP server. When configured for static
IP, these parameters are instead configured in the AP interface.
After setting up automatic configuration you must reboot the AP. When the AP reboots it receives the new
configuration information and must reboot one additional time. If Syslog is configured, a Syslog message will appear
indicating the success or failure of the Automatic Configuration.
Auto Configuration and the CLI Batch File
The Auto Configuration feature allows download of the TLV (tag, length, value) format configuration file or the CLI
Batch file. The AP detects whether the file uploaded is TLV format or a CLI Batch file. If the AP detects a CLI Batch file
(a file with extension .cli), the AP executes the file immediately.
The AP will reboot after executing the CLI Batch file. Auto Configuration will not result in repeated reboots if the CLI
Batch file contains rebootable parameters.
For more information, refer to CLI Batch File.
Set up Automatic Configuration for Static IP
Perform the following procedure to enable and set up Automatic Configuration when you have a static IP address for
the TFTP server.
1. Click Configure >Management >AutoConfig.
The Automatic Configuration Screen appears.
2. Check Enable Auto Configuration.
3. Enter the Configuration Filename.
4. Enter the IP address of the TFTP server in the TFTP Server Address field.
NOTE
The default filename is config. The default TFTP IP address is 10.0.0.2 for AP-2000.
5. Click OK to save the changes.
6. Reboot the AP. When the AP reboots it receives the new configuration information and must reboot one additional
time. If a Syslog server was configured, the following messages can be observed on the Syslog server:
AutoConfig for Static IP
TFTP server address and configuration filename
AutoConfig Successful
60
Figure 4-12 Automatic Configuration Screen
Set up Automatic Configuration for Dynamic IP
Perform the following procedure to enable and set up Automatic Configuration when you have a dynamic IP address
for the TFTP server via DHCP.
The Configuration filename and the TFTP server IP address are contained in the DHCP response when the AP gets its
IP address dynamically from the DHCP server. A Syslog server address is also contained in the DHCP response,
allowing the AP to send Auto Configuration success and failure messages to a Syslog server.
NOTE
The configuration filename and TFTP server IP address are configured only when the AP is configured for
Static IP. If the AP is configured for Dynamic IP these parameters are not used and obtained from DHCP.
1. Click Configure >Management >AutoConfig.
The Automatic Configuration Screen appears.
2. Check Enable Auto Configuration.
When the AP is Configured with Dynamic IP, the DHCP server should be configured with the TFTP Server IP address
("Boot Server Host Name", option 66) and Configuration file ("Bootfile name", option 67) as follows (note that this
example uses a Windows 2000 server):
3. Select DHCP Server >DHCP Option >Scope.
The DHCP Options: Scope Screen appears.

6. Set the value of the Bootfile Name parameter to the Configuration filename. For example: AP-Config
7. If using Syslog, set the Log server IP address (option 7, Log Servers).
8. Reboot the AP. When the AP reboots it receives the new configuration information and must reboot one additional
time. If a Syslog server was configured, the following messages can be observed on the Syslog server:
AutoConfig for Dynamic IP
TFTP server address and configuration filename
AutoConfig Successful

Hardware Configuration Reset (CHRP)
Hardware Configuration Reset Status is a parameter that defines the hardware configuration reset behavior of the AP
(i.e., what effect pressing the reload button has on an AP operating in normal operating mode).
If a user loses or forgets the APs HTTP/Telnet/SNMP password, the reset button on the AP provides a way to reset
the AP to default configuration values to gain access to the AP. However, in AP deployments where physical access to
the AP is not protected, an unauthorized person could reset the AP to factory defaults and thus gain control of the AP.
The user can disable the hardware configuration reset functionality to prevent unauthorized access.
The hardware configuration reset feature operates as follows:
When hardware configuration reset is enabled, the user can press the hardware reload button for 10 seconds
when the AP is in normal operational mode in order to delete the AP configuration.
When hardware configuration reset is disabled, pressing the reload button when the AP is in normal operational
mode does not have any effect on the AP.
The hardware configuration reset parameter does not have any effect on the functionality of the reload button to
delete the AP image during AP boot loaded execution.
The default hardware configuration reset status is enabled. When disabling hardware configuration reset, the user
is recommended to configure a configuration reset password. A configuration reset option appears on the serial
port during boot up, before the AP reads its configuration and initializes.
Whenever the AP is reset to factory default configuration, hardware configuration reset status is enabled and the
configuration reset password is set to the default, public.
If secure mode is enabled in the AP, only secure (SSL, SNMPv3, SSH) users can modify the values of the
Hardware Configuration Reset Status and the configuration reset password.
Configuration Reset via Serial Port During Bootup
If hardware configuration reset is disabled, the user gets prompted by a configuration reset option to reset the AP to
factory defaults during boot up from the serial interface. By pressing a key sequence (ctrl-R), the user gets prompted to
enter a configuration reset password before the configuration is reset.
NOTE
It is important to safely store the configuration reset password. If a user forgets the configuration reset
password, the user will be unable to reset the AP to factory default configuration if the AP becomes
inaccessible and the hardware configuration reset functionality is disabled.
63
Configuring Hardware Configuration Reset
Perform the following procedure to configure Hardware Configuration Reset and to set the Configuration Reset
Password.
1. Click Configure ->Management ->CHRD.
2. Check (enable) or uncheck (disable) the Enable Hardware Configuration Reset checkbox.
3. Change the default Configuration Reset Password in the Configuration Reset Password and Confirm fields.
NOTE
It is important to safely store the configuration reset password. If a user forgets the configuration reset
password, the user will be unable to reset the AP to factory default configuration if the AP becomes
inaccessible and the hardware configuration reset functionality is disabled.
Figure 4-15 Hardware Configuration Reset
Procedure to Reset Configuration via the Serial Interface
1. During boot up, observe the message output on the serial interface.
The AP prompts the user with the message: Press ctrl-R in 3 seconds to choose configuration reset option.
2. Enter ctrl-R within 3 seconds after being prompted.
The AP prompts the user with Press ctrl-Z to continue with normal boot up or enter password to reset configuration. If
the user enters ctrl-Z, the AP continues to boot with the stored configuration.
3. Enter the configuration reset password. The default configuration reset password is public.
When the correct configuration reset password is entered, the AP gets reset to factory defaults and displays the
message AP has been reset to Factory Default Settings. The AP continues to boot up. If an incorrect configuration
reset password is entered, the AP shows an error message and reprompts the user. If the incorrect password is
entered three times in a row, the AP proceeds to boot up.
64
Filtering
The Access Points Packet Filtering features help control the amount of traffic exchanged between the wired and
wireless networks. There are four sub-tabs under the Filtering tab:
Ethernet Protocol
Static MAC
Advanced
TCP/UDP Port
Ethernet Protocol
The Ethernet Protocol Filter blocks or forwards packets based on the Ethernet protocols they support.
Follow these steps to configure the Ethernet Protocol Filter:
1. Select the interface or interfaces that will implement the filter from the Ethernet Protocol Filtering drop-down
menu.
Ethernet: Packets are examined at the Ethernet interface
Wireless - Slot A: Packets are examined at the Wireless A interface
Wireless - Slot B: Packets are examined at the Wireless B interface
All Interfaces: Packets are examined at both interfaces
Disabled: The filter is not used
2. Select the Filter Operation Type.
If set to Passthru, only the enabled Ethernet Protocols listed in the Filter Table will pass through the bridge.
If set to Block, the bridge will block enabled Ethernet Protocols listed in the Filter Table.
3. Configure the Ethernet Protocol Filter Table. This table is pre-populated with existing Ethernet Protocol Filters,
however, you may enter additional filters by specifying the appropriate parameters.
To add an entry, click Add, and then specify the Protocol Number and a Protocol Name.
Protocol Number: Enter the protocol number. See http://www.iana.org/assignments/ethernet-numbers
for a list of protocol numbers.
Protocol Name: Enter related information, typically the protocol name.
To edit or delete an entry, click Edit and change the information, or select Enable, Disable, or Delete from the
Status drop-down menu.
An entrys status must be enabled in order for the protocol to be subject to the filter.
4. Reboot the AP for any changes to the Ethernet Protocol Filter Table to take effect.
Static MAC
The Static MAC Address filter optimizes the performance of a wireless (and wired) network. When this feature is
properly configured, the AP can block traffic between wired devices and wireless devices based on MAC address.
For example, you can set up a Static MAC filter to prevent wireless clients from communicating with a specific server
on the Ethernet network. You can also use this filter to block unnecessary multicast packets from being forwarded to
the wireless network.
NOTE
The Static MAC Filter is an advanced feature. You may find it easier to control wireless traffic via other filtering
options, such as Ethernet Protocol Filtering.
Each static MAC entry contains the following fields:
Wired MAC Address
Wired Mask
Wireless MAC Address
Wireless Mask
Comment: This field is optional.
Status
65
Each MAC Address or Mask is comprised of 12 hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F) that correspond to a 48-bit identifier.
(Each hexadecimal digit represents 4 bits (0 or 1).)
Taken together, a MAC Address/Mask pair specifies an address or a range of MAC addresses that the AP will look for
when examining packets. The AP uses Boolean logic to perform an AND operation between the MAC Address and
the Mask at the bit level. However, for most users, you do not need to think in terms of bits. It should be sufficient to
create a filter using only the hexadecimal digits 0 and F in the Mask (where 0 is any value and F is the value specified
in the MAC address). A Mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 corresponds to all MAC addresses, and a Mask of
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF applies only to the specified MAC Address.
For example, if the MAC Address is 00:20:A6:12:54:C3 and the Mask is FF:FF:FF:00:00:00, the AP will examine the
source and destination addresses of each packet looking for any MAC address starting with 00:20:A6. If the Mask is
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, the AP will only look for the specific MAC address (in this case, 00:20:A6:12:54:C3).
When creating a filter, you can configure the Wired parameters only, the Wireless parameters only, or both sets of
parameters. Which parameters to configure depends upon the traffic that you want block:
To prevent all traffic from a specific wired MAC address from being forwarded to the wireless network, configure
only the Wired MAC Address and Wired Mask (leave the Wireless MAC Address and Wireless Mask set to all
zeros).
To prevent all traffic from a specific wireless MAC address from being forwarded to the wired network, configure
only the Wireless MAC address and Wireless Mask (leave the Wired MAC Address and Wired Mask set to all
zeros).
To block traffic between a specific wired MAC address and a specific wireless MAC address, configure all four
parameters.
To create an entry, click Add and enter the appropriate MAC addresses and Masks to setup a filter. The entry is
enabled automatically when saved. To edit an entry, click Edit. To disable or remove an entry, click Edit and change
the Status field from Enable to Disable or Delete.

Static MAC Filter Examples
Consider a network that contains a wired server and three wireless clients. The MAC address for each unit is as
follows:
Wired Server: 00:40:F4:1C:DB:6A
Wireless Client 1: 00:02:2D:51:94:E4
Wireless Client 2: 00:02:2D:51:32:12
Wireless Client 3: 00:20:A6:12:4E:38
Prevent Two Specific Devices from Communicating
Configure the following settings to prevent the Wired Server and Wireless Client 1 from communicating:
Wired MAC Address: 00:40:F4:1C:DB:6A
Wired Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
Wireless MAC Address: 00:02:2D:51:94:E4
Wireless Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
Result: Traffic between the Wired Server and Wireless Client 1 is blocked. Wireless Clients 2 and 3 can still
communicate with the Wired Server.
Prevent Multiple Wireless Devices From Communicating With a Single Wired Device
Configure the following settings to prevent Wireless Clients 1 and 2 from communicating with the Wired Server.
Wireless MAC Address: 00:02:2D:51:94:E4
Wireless Mask: FF:FF:FF:00:00:00
Result: When a logical AND is performed on the Wireless MAC Address and Wireless Mask, the result corresponds
to any MAC address beginning with the 00:20:2D prefix. Since Wireless Client 1 and Wireless Client 2 share the same
prefix (00:02:2D), traffic between the Wired Server and Wireless Clients 1 and 2 is blocked. Wireless Client 3 can still
communicate with the Wired Server since it has a different prefix (00:20:A6).
Prevent All Wireless Devices From Communicating With a Single Wired Device
Configure the following settings to prevent all three Wireless Clients from communicating with Wired Server 1.
Wireless MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Wireless Mask: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Result: The Access Point blocks all traffic between Wired Server 1 and all wireless clients.
Prevent A Wireless Device From Communicating With the Wired Network
Configure the following settings to prevent Wireless Client 3 from communicating with any device on the Ethernet.
Wired MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Wired Mask: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Wireless MAC Address: 00:20:A6:12:4E:38
Wireless Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
Result: The Access Point blocks all traffic between Wireless Client 3 and the Ethernet network.
Prevent Messages Destined for a Specific Multicast Group from Being Forwarded to the Wireless LAN
If there are devices on your Ethernet network that use multicast packets to communicate and these packets are not
required by your wireless clients, you can set up a Static MAC filter to preserve wireless bandwidth. For example, if
routers on your network use a specific multicast address (such as 01:00:5E:00:32:4B) to exchange information, you
can set up a filter to prevent these multicast packets from being forwarded to the wireless network:
Wired MAC Address: 01:00:5E:00:32:4B
67
Wireless MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Wireless Mask: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Result: The Access Point does not forward any packets that have a destination address of 01:00:5E:00:32:4B to the
wireless network.
Advanced
You can configure the following advanced filtering options:
Enable Proxy ARP: Place a check mark in the box provided to allow the Access Point to respond to Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests for wireless clients. When enabled, the AP answers ARP requests for wireless
stations without actually forwarding them to the wireless network. If disabled, the Access Point will bridge ARP
requests for wireless clients to the wireless LAN.
Enable IP/ARP Filtering: Place a check mark in the box provided to allow IP/ARP filtering based on the IP/ARP
Filtering Address and IP Mask. Leave the box unchecked to prevent filtering. If enabled, you should also configure
the IP/ARP Filtering Address and IP/ARP IP Mask.
IP/ARP Filtering Address: Enter the Network filtering IP Address.
IP/ARP IP Mask: Enter the Network Mask IP Address.
The following protocols are listed in the Advanced Filter Table:
Deny IPX RIP
Deny IPX SAP
Deny IPX LSP
Deny IP Broadcasts
Deny IP Multicasts
The AP can filter these protocols in the wireless-to-Ethernet direction, the Ethernet-to-wireless direction, or in both
directions. Click Edit and use the Status field to Enable or Disable the filter.
TCP/UDP Port
Port-based filtering enables you to control wireless user access to network services by selectively blocking TCP/UDP
protocols through the AP. A user specifies a Protocol Name, Port Number, Port Type (TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP), and
filtering interfaces ( Ethernet, Wireless A only, Wireless A and Ethernet, Wireless B only, Wireless B and Ethernet, All
Interfaces) in order to block access to services, such as Telnet and FTP, and traffic, such as NETBIOS and HTTP.
For example, an AP with the following configuration would discard frames received on its Ethernet interface with a
UDP destination port number of 137, effectively blocking NETBIOS Name Service packets.

Severity Levels
There are three severity levels for system alarms:
Critical
Major
Informational
Critical alarms will often result in severe disruption in network activity or an automatic reboot of the AP
Major alarms are usually activated due to a breach in the security of the system. Clients cannot be authenticated or an
attempt at unauthorized access into the AP has been detected.
Informational alarms are there to provide the network administrator with some general information about the activities
the AP is performing.
Alarm Host Table
To add an entry and enable the AP to send SNMP trap messages to a Trap Host, click Add, and then specify the IP
Address and Password for the Trap Host.
NOTE
Up to 10 entries are possible in the Alarm Host table.
IP Address: Enter the Trap Host IP Address.
Password: Enter the password in the Password field and the Confirm field.
Comment: Enter an optional comment, such as the alarm (trap) host station name.
To edit or delete an entry, click Edit. Edit the information, or select Enable, Disable, or Delete from the Status
drop-down menu.
Syslog
The Syslog messaging system enables the AP to transmit event messages to a central server for monitoring and
troubleshooting. The AP can send messages to multiple Syslog servers. The access point logs Session Start (Log-in)
and Session Stop (Log-out) events for each wireless client as an alternative to RADIUS accounting.
See RFC 3164 at http://www.rfc-editor.org for more information on the Syslog standard.
Setting Syslog Event Notifications
Syslog Events are logged according to the level of detail specified by the administrator. Logging only urgent system
messages will create a far smaller, more easily read log then a log of every event the system encounters. Determine
which events to log by selecting a priority defined by the following scale:
Configuring Syslog Event Notifications
You can configure the following Syslog settings from the HTTP interface:
Enable Syslog: Place a check mark in the box provided to enable system logging.
Syslog Port Number: This field is read-only and displays the port number (514) assigned for system logging.
Syslog Lowest Priority Logged: The AP will send event messages to the Syslog server that correspond to the
selected priority and above. For example, if set to 6, the AP will transmit event messages labeled priority 0 to 6 to
the Syslog server(s). This parameter supports a range between 1 and 7; 6 is the default.
Event Priority Description
LOG_EMERG 0 system is unusable
LOG_ALERT 1 action must be taken immediately
LOG_CRIT 2 critical conditions
LOG_ERR 3 error conditions
LOG_WARNING 4 warning conditions
LOG_NOTICE 5 normal but significant condition
LOG_INFO 6 informational
LOG_DEBUG 7 debug-level messages
73
Syslog Heartbeat Status: Enables or disables the sending of heartbeat messages from the AP to the configured
Syslog servers.
Syslog Heartbeat Interval: Specifies the interval (in seconds) at which Syslog Heartbeat messages are sent to
the configured Syslog servers.
Syslog Host Table: This table specifies the IP addresses of a network servers that the AP will send Syslog
messages to. Click Add to create a new entry. Click Edit to change an existing entry. Each entry contains the
following field:
IP Address: Enter the IP Address for the management host.
Comment: Enter an optional comment such as the host name.
Status: The entry is enabled automatically when saved (so the Status field is only visible when editing an
entry). Disable or delete entries by changing this fields value.
Syslog Messages
The following messages are supported in the AP:

Rogue Access Point Detection (RAD)
The Rogue AP Detection (RAD) feature provides an additional security level for wireless LAN deployments. Rogue AP
detection provides a mechanism for detecting Rogue Access Points by utilizing the coverage of the trusted Access
Point deployment.
The Rogue AP Scan employs background scanning using low-level 802.11 scanning functions for effective wireless
detection of Access Points in its coverage area with minimal impact on the normal operation of the Access Point.
This RAD feature can be enabled on an Access Point via its HTTP, CLI, or SNMP Interfaces. The scan repetition
duration is configurable. If the Access Point uses directional antennas to provide directional coverage, then the
interface bitmask can be configured to maximize the scanning coverage area. The Access Point will periodically scan
the wireless network and report all the available Access Points within its coverage area using SNMP traps. For
additional reliability the results are stored in the Access Point in a table, which can be queried via SNMP. The BSSID
and Channel number of the detected Access Points are provided in the scan results.
The RAD scan is done on a channel list initialized based on the regulatory domain of the device. The RAD Scan then
performs background scanning on all the channels in this channel list using 802.11 MAC scanning functions. It will
either actively scan the network by sending probe requests or passively scan by only listening for beacons. The access
point information is then gathered from the probe responses and beacons.
To minimize traffic disruption and maximize the scanning efficiency, the RAD feature employs an enhanced
background-scanning algorithm and uses the CTS to Self mechanism to keep the clients silent. The scanning
algorithm allows traffic to be serviced between each channel scan. Before start of every scan (except scan on the
working channel) the CTS to self-mechanism is used to set the NAV values of clients to keep them silent during the
scanning period. In addition, the scan repetition duration can also be configured to reduce the frequency of RAD scan
cycles to maximize Access Point performance.
RAD Configuration Requirements
The RAD feature can be configured/monitored via the HTTP, CLI, or SNMP management interfaces.
The following management options are provided:
The RAD feature can be enabled or disabled.
The repetition interval of RAD can be configured.
The interface on which RAD can operate can be configured.
SNMP Traps are sent after completion of a RAD scan cycle and also whenever a new Access Point is detected.
Figure 4-18 Example Rogue AP Detection Deployment
Additionally, the RAD scan results are maintained in a table that can be queried via SNMP. The system administrator
has to enable RAD on the Access Points in the wireless network and also configure the Trap Host on all these Access

Management Station
Trusted AP

75
Points to the IP address of the management station. The Access Points on detecting a new Access Point sends a RAD
Scan Result Trap to the management station.
An example network deployment is shown. The Trusted AP has Rogue Access Detection enabled and the trap host is
configured to be the management station. The Trusted AP on detecting the Rogue AP will send a trap to the
management station with the Channel and BSSID of the Rogue Access Point.
Configuring RAD
Perform this procedure to enable and configure RAD.
The RAD screen also displays the time of the last scan and the number of new access points detected in the last scan.
1. Enable the Security Alarm Group. Select the Security Alarm Group link from the RAD screen. Configure a Trap
Host to receive the list of access points detected during the scan.
2. Click Configure >Alarms >RAD.
3. Enable RAD by checking Enable Rogue AP Detection.
4. Enter the Scan Interval.
The Scan Interval specifies the time period in minutes between scans and can be set to any value between 15
and 1440 minutes.
5. Select the Scan Interface as Wireless - Slot A, Wireless - Slot B, or Both Wireless - Slots A & B.
6. Click OK.
The results of the RAD scan be viewed in the Status page in the HTTP interface.

Bridge
The AP is a bridge between your wired and wireless networking devices. As a bridge, the functions performed by the
AP include:
MAC address learning
Forward and filtering decision making
Spanning Tree protocol used for loop avoidance
Once the AP is connected to your network, it learns which devices are connected to it and records their MAC
addresses in the Learn Table. The table can hold up to 10,000 entries. To view the Learn Table, click on the Monitor
tab and select the Learn Table tab.
The Bridge tab has four sub-tabs.
Spanning Tree
Storm Threshold
Intra BSS
Packet Forwarding (Pkt Fwd)
Spanning Tree
A Spanning Tree is used to avoid redundant communication loops in networks with multiple bridging devices. Bridges
do not have any inherent mechanism to avoid loops, because having redundant systems is a necessity in certain
networks. However, redundant systems can cause Broadcast Storms, multiple frame copies, and MAC address table
instability problems.
Complex network structures can create multiple loops within a network. The Spanning Tree configuration blocks
certain ports on AP devices to control the path of communication within the network, avoiding loops and following a
spanning tree structure.
For more information on Spanning Tree protocol, see Section 8.0 of the IEEE 802.1d standard. The Spanning Tree
configuration options are advanced settings. Proxim recommends that you leave these parameters at their default
values unless you are familiar with the Spanning Tree protocol.
Storm Threshold
Storm Threshold is an advanced Bridge setup option that you can use to protect the network against data overload by:
Specifying a maximum number of frames per second as received from a single network device (identified by its
MAC address).
Specifying an absolute maximum number of messages per port.
The Storm Threshold parameters allow you to specify a set of thresholds for each port of the AP, identifying separate
values for the number of broadcast messages/second and Multicast messages/second.
When the number of frames for a port or identified station exceeds the maximum value per second, the AP will ignore
all subsequent messages issued by the particular network device, or ignore all messages of that type.
Address Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
Ethernet Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
Wireless-Slot A and Wireless-Slot B Threshold: Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
Intra BSS
The wireless clients (or subscribers) that associate with a certain AP form the Basic Service Set (BSS) of a network
infrastructure. By default, wireless subscribers in the same BSS can communicate with each other. However, some
administrators (such as wireless public spaces) may wish to block traffic between wireless subscribers that are
associated with the same AP to prevent unauthorized communication and to conserve bandwidth. This feature
enables you to prevent wireless subscribers within a BSS from exchanging traffic.
Although this feature is generally enabled in public access environments, Enterprise LAN administrators use it to
conserve wireless bandwidth by limiting communication between wireless clients. For example, this feature prevents
peer-to-peer file sharing or gaming over the wireless network.
77
To block Intra BSS traffic, set Intra BSS Traffic Operation to Block. To allow Intra BSS traffic, set Intra BSS Traffic
Operation to Passthru.
Packet Forwarding (Pkt Fwd)
The Packet Forwarding feature enables you to redirect traffic generated by wireless clients that are all associated to
the same AP to a single MAC address. This filters wireless traffic without burdening the AP and provides additional
security by limiting potential destinations or by routing the traffic directly to a firewall. You can redirect to a specific port
(Ethernet or WDS) or allow the bridges learning process (and the forwarding table entry for the selected MAC
address) to determine the optimal port.
NOTE
The gateway to which traffic will be redirected should be node on the Ethernet network. It should not be a
wireless client.
To configure interfaces for packet forwarding, specifying interface port(s) to which packets are redirected and a
destination MAC address, as follows:
1. Within the Packet Forwarding Configuration screen, check the box labeled Enable Packet Forwarding.
2. Specify a destination Packet Forwarding MAC Address. The AP will redirect all unicast, multicast, and broadcast
packets received from wireless clients to the address you specify.
3. Select a Packet Forwarding Interface Port from the drop-down menu. You can redirect traffic to:
Any Interface (traffic is redirected to a port based on the bridge learning process)
Ethernet
A WDS connection (see Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for details)
4. Click OK to save your changes.
QoS (Quality of Service)
This feature is not supported in the AP. Clicking on this tab displays the following message: The Quality of Service
(QoS) feature is not implemented on the AP-600 and AP-2000.
78
RADIUS Profiles
Configuring RADIUS Profiles on the AP define a profile for RADIUS Servers used by the system or by a VLAN. The
network administrator can define RADIUS Servers per Authentication Mode and per VLAN.
The AP communicates with the RADIUS server defined in a profile to provide the following features:
MAC Access Control Via RADIUS Authentication
802.1x Authentication using RADIUS
RADIUS Accounting
Also, RADIUS Based Management Access allows centralized user management.
The network administrator can configure default RADIUS authentication servers to be used on a system-wide basis, or
in networks with VLANs enabled the administrator can also configure separate authentication servers to be used for
MAC authentication, EAP authentication, or Accounting in each VLAN. You can configure the AP to communicate with
up to six different RADIUS servers per VLAN/SSID:
Primary Authentication Server (MAC-based authentication)
Back-up Authentication Server (MAC-based authentication)
Primary Authentication Server (EAP/802.1x authentication)
Back-up Authentication Server (EAP/802.1x authentication)
Primary Accounting Server
Back-up Accounting Server
The back-up servers are optional, but when configured, the AP will communicate with the back-up server if the primary
server is off-line. After the AP has switched to the backup server, it will periodically check the status of the primary
RADIUS server every five (5) minutes. Once the primary RADIUS server is again online, the AP automatically reverts
from the backup RADIUS server back to the primary RADIUS server. All subsequent requests are then sent to the
primary RADIUS server.
You can view monitoring statistics for each of the configured RADIUS servers.
RADIUS Servers per Authentication Mode and per VLAN
The user can configure separate RADIUS authentication servers for each authentication mode and for each SSID
(VLAN). For example:
the user can configure separate RADIUS servers for RADIUS MAC authentication and 802.1x authentication
the user can configure separate RADIUS servers for each VLAN: the Sales VLAN could support only WEP clients,
whereas the Marketing VLAN could support 802.1x and WEP clients.
Figure 4-20 RADIUS Servers per VLAN
This figure shows a network with separate authentication servers for each authentication type and for each VLAN. The
clients in VLAN 1 are authenticated using the authentication servers configured for VLAN 1. The type of authentication
AP
79
server used depends on whether the authentication is done for an 802.1x client or non-802.1x client. The clients in
VLAN 2 are authenticated using a different set of authentication servers configured for authenticating users in VLAN 2.
Authentication servers for each VLAN are configured as part of the configuration options for that VLAN. You can also
configure authentication servers on a system-wide basis; these are called the default authentication servers. For each
VLAN, the user could opt to use the default authentication servers, or to configure separate authentication servers to
be used for a particular authentication type in that VLAN.
RADIUS-based VLAN Assignment
Radius-based VLAN assignment
The AP currently supports two methods of assigning a wireless client a VLAN ID. The wireless client can either be
assigned the static VLAN ID configured for the SSID the wireless client is associated to, or the wireless client can be
assigned a VLAN ID which is returned by the RADIUS server during authentication.
A VLAN ID can only be assigned to a wireless client by a RADIUS server if they are associated to an SSID that is
configured to a RADIUS-based authentication security mode/protocol (802.1X, WPA, 802.11i/WPA2, and RADIUS
based MAC Address Authentication). If the wireless client is associated to an SSID that does not provide
RADIUS-based authentication (such as None, WEP, WPA-PSK, and 802.11i/WPA2-PSK), then the wireless client will
be assigned the static VLAN ID configured for respective SSID. See SSID/VLAN/Security for more information.
RADIUS Servers Enforcing VLAN Access Control
A RADIUS server can be used to enforce VLAN access control in two ways:
Authorize the SSID the client uses to connect to the AP. The SSID determines the VLAN that the client gets
assigned to.
Assigning the user to a VLAN by specifying the VLAN membership information of the user.
Configuring RADIUS Profiles
A RADIUS server Profile consists of a Primary and a Secondary RADIUS server that get assigned to act as either
MAC Authentication servers, 802.1x/EAP Authentication servers, or Accounting Servers in the VLAN Configuration.
Refer to SSID/VLAN/Security.
The RADIUS Profiles tab allows you to add new RADIUS profiles or modify or delete existing profiles.
Figure 4-21 RADIUS Server Profiles
80
Adding or Modifying a RADIUS Server Profile
Perform the following procedure to add a RADIUS server profile and to configure its parameters.
1. Click Add to create a new profile. To Modify an existing profile, select the profile and click Edit. To delete an
existing profile, select the profile and click Delete. You cannot delete a RADIUS server profile if you are using it in
an SSID. Also, the four default RADIUS server profiles cannot be deleted.
Figure 4-22 Add RADIUS Server Profile
Configure the following parameters for the RADIUS Server profile:
NOTE
This page configures only the Primary RADIUS Server associated with the profile. After configuring these
parameters, save them by clicking OK. Then, to configure the Secondary RADIUS Server, edit the profile from
the main page.
Server Profile Name: the profile name. This is the name used to associated a VLAN to the profile. Refer to
SSID/VLAN/Security.
MAC Address Format Type: This parameter should correspond to the format in which the clients 12-digit MAC
addresses are listed within the RADIUS server. Available options are:
Dash delimited: dash between each pair of digits: xx-yy-zz-aa-bb-cc
Colon delimited: colon between each pair of digits: xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc
Single dash delimited: dash between the sixth and seventh digits: xxyyzz-aabbcc
No delimiters: No characters or spaces between pairs of hexidecimal digits: xxyyzzaabbcc
Accounting Inactivity Timer: Enter the accounting inactivity timer. This parameter supports a value from 1-60
minutes. The default is 5 minutes.
Authorization Lifetime: Enter the time, in seconds, each client session may be active before being automatically
re-authenticated. This parameter supports a value between 900 and 43200 seconds. The default is 900 sec.
Server Addressing Format: select IP Address or Name. If you want to identify RADIUS servers by name, you
must configure the AP as a DNS Client. See DNS Client for details.
81
Server Name/IP Address: Enter the servers name or IP address.
Destination Port: Enter the port number which the AP and the server will use to communicate. By default,
RADIUS servers communicate on port 1812.
Server VLAN ID: Indicates the VLAN that uses this RADIUS server profile. If VLAN is disabled, the text VLAN is
disabled will appear.
Shared Secret and Confirm Shared Secret: Enter the password shared by the RADIUS server and the AP. The
same password must also be configured on the RADIUS server.
Response Time (seconds): Enter the maximum time, in seconds, that the AP should wait for the RADIUS server
to respond to a request. The range is 1-10 seconds; the default is 3 seconds.
Maximum Retransmissions (0-4): Enter the maximum number of times an authentication request may be
transmitted. The range is 0 to 4, the default is 3.
Server Status: Select Enable from the drop-down box to enable the RADIUS Server Profile.
2. Click OK.
3. Select the Profile and click Edit to configure the Secondary RADIUS Server, if required.
4. Reboot the AP.
MAC Access Control Via RADIUS Authentication
If you want to control wireless access to the network and if your network includes a RADIUS Server, you can store the
list of MAC addresses on the RADIUS server rather than configure each AP individually. You can define a RADIUS
Profile that specifies the IP Address of the server that contains a central list of MAC Address values identifying the
authorized stations that may access the wireless network. You must specify information for at least the primary
RADIUS server. The back-up RADIUS server is optional.
NOTE
Each VLAN can be configured to use a separate RADIUS server (and backup server) for MAC authentication.
NOTE
Contact your RADIUS server manufacturer if you have problems configuring the server or have problems
using RADIUS authentication.
802.1x Authentication using RADIUS
You must configure a primary EAP/802.1x Authentication server to use 802.1x security. A back-up server is optional.
NOTE
Each VLAN can be configured to use a separate RADIUS server (and backup server) for 802.1x
authentication. 802.1x authentication (EAP authentication) can be separately enabled for each VLAN.
82
RADIUS Accounting
Using an external RADIUS server, the AP can track and record the length of client sessions on the access point by
sending RADIUS accounting messages per RFC2866. When a wireless client is successfully authenticated, RADIUS
accounting is initiated by sending an Accounting Start request to the RADIUS server. When the wireless client
session ends, an Accounting Stop request is sent to the RADIUS server.
Session Length
Accounting sessions continue when a client reauthenticates to the same AP. Sessions are terminated when:
A client disassociates.
A client does not transmit any data to the AP for a fixed amount of time.
A client is detected on a different interface.
If the client roams from one AP to another, one session is terminated and a new session is begun.
NOTE
This feature requires RADIUS authentication using MAC Access Control or 802.1x. Wireless clients
configured in the Access Points static MAC Access Control list are not tracked.
83
SSID/VLAN/Security
The AP provides several security features to protect your network from unauthorized access.
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are logical groupings of network hosts. Defined by software settings, other VLAN
members or resources appear (to clients) to be on the same physical segment, no matter where they are attached on
the logical LAN or WAN segment. They simplify traffic flow between clients and their frequently-used or restricted
resources.
The AP uses Security Profiles to define allowed wireless clients, and authentication and encryption types and RADIUS
Profiles to define RADIUS Servers used by the system or by a VLAN.
The SSID/VLAN/Security tab contains the following sub-tabs:
Management VLAN
Security Profiles
MAC Access
Wireless-A and Wireless-B
Management VLAN
VLAN Overview
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are logical groupings of network hosts. Defined by software settings, other VLAN
members or resources appear (to clients) to be on the same physical segment, no matter where they are attached on
the logical LAN or WAN segment. They simplify traffic flow between clients and their frequently-used or restricted
resources.
VLANs now extend as far as the reach of the access point signal. Clients can be segmented into wireless
sub-networks via SSID and VLAN assignment. A Client can access the network by connecting to an AP configured to
support its assigned SSID/VLAN.
AP devices are fully VLAN-ready; however, by default VLAN support is disabled. Before enabling VLAN support,
certain network settings should be configured, and network resources such as a VLAN-aware switch, a RADIUS
server, and possibly a DHCP server should be available.
Once enabled, VLANs are used to conveniently, efficiently, and easily manage your network in the following ways:
Manage adds, moves, and changes from a single point of contact
Define and monitor groups
Reduce broadcast and multicast traffic to unnecessary destinations
Improve network performance and reduce latency
Increase security
Secure network restricts members to resources on their own VLAN
Clients roam without compromising security
VLAN tagged data is collected and distributed through an AP's wireless interface(s) based on Network Name (SSID).
An Ethernet port on the access point connects a wireless cell or network to a wired backbone. The access points
communicate across a VLAN-capable switch that analyzes VLAN-tagged packet headers and directs traffic to the
appropriate ports. On the wired network, a RADIUS server authenticates traffic and a DHCP server manages IP
addresses for the VLAN(s). Resources like servers and printers may be present, and a hub may include multiple APs,
extending the network over a larger area.
In this figure, the numbered items correspond to the following components:
1. VLAN-enabled access point
2. VLAN-aware switch (IEEE 802.1Q uplink)
3. AP management via wired host (SNMP, Web interface or CLI)
4. DHCP Server
5. RADIUS Server
6. VLAN 1
7. VLAN 2
84
Figure 4-23 Components of a typical VLAN
VLAN Workgroups and Traffic Management
Access Points that are not VLAN-capable typically transmit broadcast and multicast traffic to all wireless Network
Interface Cards (NICs). This process wastes wireless bandwidth and degrades throughput performance. In
comparison, VLAN-capable AP is designed to efficiently manage delivery of broadcast, multicast, and unicast traffic to
wireless clients.
The AP assigns clients to a VLAN based on a Network Name (SSID). The AP can support up to 16 VLAN/SSID pairs
per radio (based on model type).
NOTE
The ability to configure up to 16 VLAN/SSID pairs and to configure a security profile per SSID is available only
for 802.11b/g APs and 802.11a Upgrade Kit APs.
802.11b APs do not support multiple VLAN/SSID pairs. APs with the 802.11a card support multiple
VLAN/SSID pairs, but do not support the security profile per SSID capability.
The AP matches packets transmitted or received to a network name with the associated VLAN. Traffic received by a
VLAN is only sent on the wireless interface associated with that same VLAN. This eliminates unnecessary traffic on
the wireless LAN, conserving bandwidth and maximizing throughput.
In addition to enhancing wireless traffic management, the VLAN-capable AP supports easy assignment of wireless
users to workgroups. In a typical scenario, each user VLAN represents a workgroup; for example, one VLAN could be
used for an EMPLOYEE workgroup and the other, for a GUEST workgroup.
In this scenario, the AP would assign every packet it accepted to a VLAN. Each packet would then be identified as
EMPLOYEE or GUEST, depending on which wireless NIC received it. The AP would insert VLAN headers or tags
with identifiers into the packets transmitted on the wired backbone to a network switch.
Finally, the switch would be configured to route packets from the EMPLOYEE workgroup to the appropriate corporate
resources such as printers and servers. Packets from the GUEST workgroup could be restricted to a gateway that
allowed access to only the Internet. A member of the GUEST workgroup could send and receive e-mail and access the
Internet, but would be prevented from accessing servers or hosts on the local corporate network.
Typical User VLAN Configurations
VLANs segment network traffic into workgroups, which enable you to limit broadcast and multicast traffic. Workgroups
enable clients from different VLANs to access different resources using the same network infrastructure. Clients using
the same physical network are limited to those resources available to their workgroup.
85
The AP can segment users into a maximum of 16 different workgroups (32 if using two cards in a Dual-radio AP)
based on an SSID/VLAN pair (also referred as a VLAN Workgroup or a Sub-network).
NOTE
The three primary scenarios for using VLAN workgroups are as follows:
1. VLAN disabled: Your network does not use VLANs, and you cannot configure the AP to use multiple SSIDs.
2. VLAN enabled, each VLAN workgroup uses a different VLAN ID Tag
3. VLAN enabled, a mixture of Tagged and Untagged workgroups
Enabling/Disabling VLAN Protocol
Control Access to the AP
Management access to the AP can easily be secured by making management stations or hosts and the AP itself
members of a common VLAN. Simply configure a non-zero management VLAN ID and enable VLAN to restrict
management of the AP to members of the same VLAN.
CAUTION
!
If a non-zero management VLAN ID is configured then management access to the AP is restricted to wired or
wireless hosts that are members of the same VLAN. Ensure your management platform or host is a member
of the same VLAN before attempting to manage the AP.
1. Click Configure >SSID/VLAN/Security.
2. Set the VLAN Management ID to a value between -1 and 4094 (a value of 0 disables VLAN management).
3. Place a check mark in the Enable VLAN Protocol box.
Provide Access to a Wireless Host in the Same Workgroup
The VLAN feature can allow wireless clients to manage the AP. If the VLAN Management ID matches a VLAN User ID,
then those wireless clients who are members of that VLAN will have AP management access.
CAUTION
!
Once a VLAN Management ID is configured and is equivalent to one of the VLAN User IDs on the AP, all
members of that User VLAN will have management access to the AP. Be careful to restrict VLAN membership
to those with legitimate access to the AP.
2. Set the VLAN Management ID to use the same VLAN ID as one of the configured SSID/VLAN pairs. See Typical
User VLAN Configurations for details.
3. Place a check mark in the Enable VLAN Protocol box.
Disable VLAN Management
2. Remove the check mark from the Enable VLAN Protocol box to disable all VLAN functionality.
86
MAC Access
The MAC Access sub-tab allows you to build a list of stations, identified by their MAC addresses, authorized to access
the network through the AP. The list is stored inside each AP within your network. Note that you must reboot the AP for
any changes to the MAC Access Control Table to take effect.
The MAC ACL Status parameter (configurable on the SSID/VLAN ->Wireless sub-tab) is per VLAN if VLAN
Management is enabled. All other parameters besides MAC ACL Status are configured per AP, even if VLAN is
enabled.
Configuring MAC Access
NOTE
MAC Access Control status is enabled or disabled when configuring each Security Profile.
Operation Type: Choose between Passthru and Block. This determines how the stations identified in the MAC
Access Control Table are filtered.
If set to Passthru, only the addresses listed in the Control Table will pass through the bridge.
If set to Block, the bridge will block traffic to or from the addresses listed in the Control Table.
MAC Access Control Table: Click Add to create a new entry. Click Edit to change an existing entry. Each entry
contains the following field:
MAC Address: Enter the wireless clients MAC address.
Comment: Enter an optional comment such as the clients name.
Status: The entry is enabled automatically when saved (so the Status field is only visible when editing an
entry). You can also disable or delete entries by changing this fields value.
NOTE
For larger networks that include multiple Access Points, you may prefer to maintain this list on a centralized
location using the MAC Access Control Via RADIUS Authentication.
Figure 4-24 MAC Access Configuration Screen
87
Security Profiles
The AP supports the following Security features:
WEP Encryption: The original encryption technique specified by the IEEE 802.11 standard.
802.1x Authentication: An IEEE standard for client authentication.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA): A new standard that provides improved encryption security over WEP.
WEP Encryption
The IEEE 802.11 standards specify an optional encryption feature, known as Wired Equivalent Privacy or WEP, that is
designed to provide a wireless LAN with a security level equal to what is found on a wired Ethernet network. WEP
encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged on an 802.11 network using an Encryption Key (also known as a
WEP Key).
When Encryption is enabled, two 802.11 devices must have the same Encryption Keys and both devices must be
configured to use Encryption in order to communicate. If one device is configured to use Encryption but a second
device is not, then the two devices will not communicate, even if both devices have the same Encryption Keys.
An 802.11b AP supports 64-bit and 128-bit encryption:
For 64-bit encryption, an encryption key is 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F) or 5 ASCII characters
(see ASCII Character Chart).
For 128-bit encryption, an encryption key is 26 hexadecimal characters or 13 ASCII characters.
An 802.11a or 802.11b/g AP supports 64-bit, 128-bit, and 152-bit encryption:
For 64-bit encryption, an encryption key is 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F) or 5 ASCII characters
(see ASCII Character Chart).
802.1x Authentication
IEEE 802.1x is a standard that provides a means to authenticate and authorize network devices attached to a LAN
port. A port in the context of IEEE 802.1x is a point of attachment to the LAN, either a physical Ethernet connection or
a wireless link to an Access Point. 802.1x requires a RADIUS server and uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol
(EAP) as a standards-based authentication framework, and supports automatic key distribution for enhanced security.
The EAP-based authentication framework can easily be upgraded to keep pace with future EAP types.
Popular EAP types include:
EAP-Message Digest 5 (MD5): Username/Password-based authentication; does not support automatic key
distribution
EAP-Transport Layer Security (TLS): Certificate-based authentication (a certificate is required on the server and
each client); supports automatic key distribution
EAP-Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS): Certificate-based authentication (a certificate is required on the
server; a clients username/password is tunneled to the server over a secure connection); supports automatic key
distribution
PEAP - Protected EAP with MS-CHAP v2: Secure username/password-based authentication; supports automatic
key distribution
Different servers support different EAP types and each EAP type provides different features. Refer to the
documentation that came with your RADIUS server to determine which EAP types it supports.
NOTE
The AP supports the following EAP types when Authentication Mode is set to 802.1x, WPA or 802.11i
(WPA2): EAP-TLS, PEAP, and EAP-TTLS. When Authentication Mode is set to Mixed, the AP supports the
following EAP types: EAP-TLS, PEAP, EAP-TLLS, and EAP-MD5 (MD5 does not support automatic key
distribution; therefore, if you choose this method you need to manually configure each client with the network's
encryption key).
88
Authentication Process
There are three main components in the authentication process. The standard refers to them as:
1. supplicant (client PC)
2. authenticator (Access Point)
3. authentication server (RADIUS server)
When using Authentication Mode to 802.1x, WPA, Mixed mode (802.1x and WEP), or 802.11i, you need to configure
your RADIUS server for authentication purposes.
Prior to successful authentication, an unauthenticated client PC cannot send any data traffic through the AP device to
other systems on the LAN. The AP inhibits all data traffic from a particular client PC until the client PC is authenticated.
Regardless of its authentication status, a client PC can always exchange 802.1x messages in the clear with the AP
(the client begins encrypting data after it has been authenticated).
Figure 4-25 RADIUS Authentication Illustrated
The AP acts as a pass-through device to facilitate communications between the client PC and the RADIUS server. The
AP (2) and the client (1) exchange 802.1x messages using an EAPOL (EAP Over LAN) protocol (A). Messages sent
from the client station are encapsulated by the AP and transmitted to the RADIUS (3) server using EAP extensions (B).
Upon receiving a reply EAP packet from the RADIUS, the message is typically forwarded to the client, after translating
it back to the EAPOL format. Negotiations take place between the client and the RADIUS server. After the client has
been successfully authenticated, the client receives an Encryption Key from the AP (if the EAP type supports
automatic key distribution). The client uses this key to encrypt data after it has been authenticated.
For 802.11a and 802.11b/g clients that communicate with an AP, each client receives its own unique encryption key;
this is known as Per User Per Session Encryption Keys.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a security standard designed by the Wi-Fi Alliance in conjunction with the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). THE AP supports WPA2, based on the IEEE 802.11i security standard.
NOTE
For Dual-radio APs: WPA is available only for the AP-2000b/g and for APs using either an 802.11a or
802.11b/g Upgrade Kit. WPA is not available for APs with an 802.11b PC Card or a 5 GHz Upgrade Kit.
WPA is a replacement for Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the encryption technique specified by the original 802.11
standard. WEP has several vulnerabilities that have been widely publicized. WPA addresses these weaknesses and
provides a stronger security system to protect wireless networks.
WPA provides the following new security measures not available with WEP:
Improved packet encryption using the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and the Michael Message Integrity
Check (MIC).
Per-user, per-session dynamic encryption keys:
Each client uses a different key to encrypt and decrypt unicast packets exchanged with the AP
A client's key is different for every session; it changes each time the client associates with an AP
The AP uses a single global key to encrypt broadcast packets that are sent to all clients simultaneously
Encryption keys change periodically based on the Re-keying Interval parameter
WPA uses 128-bit encryption keys
89
Dynamic Key distribution
The AP generates and maintains the keys for its clients
The AP securely delivers the appropriate keys to its clients
Client/server mutual authentication
802.1x
Pre-shared key (for networks that do not have an 802.1x solution implemented)
NOTE
For more information on WPA, see the Wi-Fi Alliance Web site at http://www.wi-fi.org.
The AP supports the following WPA authentication modes:
WPA: The AP uses 802.1x to authenticate clients. You should only use an EAP that supports mutual
authentication and session key generation, such as EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP. See 802.1x Authentication
for details.
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key): For networks that do not have 802.1x implemented, you can configure the AP to
authenticate clients based on a Pre-Shared Key. This is a shared secret that is manually configured on the AP and
each of its clients. The Pre-Shared Key must be 256 bits long, which is 64 hexadecimal digits. The AP also
supports a PSK Pass Phrase option to facilitate the creation of the Pre-Shared Key (so a user can enter an
easy-to-remember phrase rather than a string of characters).
802.11i (also known as WPA2): The AP authenticates clients according to the 802.11i draft standard, using 802.1x
authentication, an AES cipher, and re-keying.
802.11i-PSK (also known as WPA2 PSK): The AP uses an AES cipher, and authenticates clients based on a
Pre-Shared Key. The Pre-Shared Key must be 256 bits long, which is either 64 hexadecimal digits. The AP also
supports a PSK Pass Phrase option to facilitate the creation of the Pre-Shared Key (so a user can enter an
easy-to-remember phrase rather than a string of characters).
Authentication Protocol Hierarchy
There is a hierarchy of authentication protocols defined for the AP.
The hierarchy is as follows, from Highest to lowest:
802.1x authentication
MAC Access Control via RADIUS Authentication
MAC Access Control through individual APs' MAC Access Control Lists
If you have both 802.1x and MAC authentication enabled, the 802.1x results will take effect. This is required in
order to propagate the WEP keys to the clients in such cases. Once you disable 802.1x on the AP, you will
see the effects of MAC authentication.
VLANs and Security Profiles
The AP2000 allows you to segment wireless networks into multiple sub-networks based on Network Name (SSID)
and VLAN membership. A Network Name (SSID) identifies a wireless network. Clients associate with Access Points
that share an SSID. During installation, the Setup Wizard prompts you to configure a Primary Network Name for each
wireless interface.
After initial setup and once VLAN is enabled, the AP can be configured to support up to 16 SSIDs per wireless
interface to segment wireless networks based on VLAN membership.
Each VLAN can be associated to a Security Profile and RADIUS Server Profiles. A Security Profile defines the allowed
wireless clients, and authentication and encryption types. Refer to VLANs and Security Profiles for configuration
details.
NOTE
90
Configuring Security Profiles
Security policies can be configured and applied on the AP as a whole, or on a per VLAN basis. When VLAN is disabled
on the AP, the user can configure a security profile for each interface of the AP. When VLANs are enabled and
Security per SSID is enabled, the user can configure a security profile for each VLAN.
The user defines a security policy by specifying one or more values for the following parameters:
Wireless STA types (WPA station, 802.11i station, 802.1x station, WEP station) that can associate to the AP.
Authentication mechanisms (802.1x, RADIUS MAC authentication) that are used to authenticate clients for each
type of station.
Cipher Suites (CCMP, TKIP, WEP) used for encapsulating the wireless data for each type of station.
Up to 16 security profiles can be configured per wireless interface.
1. Click Configure ->SSID/VLAN/Security ->Security Profile.
Figure 4-26 Security Profile Sub-tab
2. Click Add in the Security Profile Table to create a new entry. To modify an existing profile, select the profile and
click Edit. To delete an existing profile, select the profile and click Delete. You cannot delete a Security Profile
used in an SSID. Also, the first Security Profile (index 1.1 to 1.7) cannot be deleted.
3. Configure one or more types of wireless stations (security modes) that are allowed access to the AP under the
security profile. The WEP/PSK parameters are separately configurable for each security mode. To enable a
security mode in the profile (Non Secure Station, WEP Station, 802.1x Station, WPA Station, WPA-PSK Station,
802.11i Station, 802.11i-PSK Station), check the box next to the mode. See Figure 4-27 on page 92.
If the security mode selected in a profile is WEP, WPA-PSK, or 802.11i-PSK, then you must configure the WEP or
Pre-Shared Keys.
4. Configure the parameters as follows for each enabled security mode. Refer to Figure 4-27 on page 92.
Non Secure Station:
Authentication Mode: None. The AP allows access to Stations without authentication.
Non secure station should be used only with WEP or 802.1x security mode.
Cipher: None
WEP Station:
Authentication Mode: None
Cipher: WEP
Encryption Key 0, Encryption Key 1, Encryption Key 2, Encryption Key 3
Encryption Transmit Key: select Key 0, Key 1, Key 2, or Key 3
91
802.1x Station:
Authentication Mode: 802.1x
Cipher: WEP
Encryption Key Length: 64 or 128 Bits.
If 802.1x is enabled simultaneously with WEP, the 802.1x Stations encryption key length is determined
by the WEP encryption key.
WPA Station:
Cipher: TKIP
WPA-PSK Station:
Authentication Mode: PSK
Cipher: TKIP
PSK Passphrase: an 8-63 character user-defined phrase. It is recommended a passphrase of at least 13
characters, including both letters and numbers, and upper and lower case characters to ensure that the
generated key cannot be easily deciphered by network infiltrators.
802.11i Station:
Cipher: AES
802.11i-PSK Station:
Authentication Mode: PSK
Cipher: AES
PSK Passphrase: an 8-63 character user-defined phrase. It is recommended a passphrase of at least 13
characters, including both letters and numbers, and upper and lower case characters to ensure that the
generated key cannot be easily deciphered by network infiltrators.
5. When finished configuring all parameters, click OK.
6. If you selected a Security Mode of 802.1x Station, WPA Station, or 802.11i Station, you must configure a RADIUS
802.1x/EAP server. Refer to the Configuring RADIUS Profiles section.
Security Profile 1 will be used by default for all wireless interfaces.

14. Reboot the AP.
Broadcast SSID and Closed System
Broadcast SSID allows the broadcast of a single SSID when the AP is configured for multiple SSIDs. Broadcast SSID
may only be enabled for a single SSID. This object can only be configured using the CLI and SNMP using a MIB
browser or network management application.
Closed System manages the way probe requests are handled. If enabled, the AP will respond to probe requests with
an SSID only if the client has specified the SSID in the probe request. If the client sends a probe request with a null or
ANY SSID, the AP will respond with a null SSID. If disabled, the AP will respond with each configured SSID, whether
or not an SSID has been specified in the probe request. This option is disabled by default.
To enable Closed System, click on Interfaces >Wireless-A or Wireless-B and check the Enable Closed System
box.

TFTP File Transfer Guidelines
A TFTP server must be running and configured to point to the directory containing the file.
If you do not have a TFTP server installed on your system, install the TFTP server from the ORiNOCO CD.
HTTP File Transfer Guidelines
HTTP file transfer can be performed either with or without SSL enabled.
HTTP file transfers with SSL require enabling Secure Management and Secure Socket Layer. HTTP transfers that use
SSL may take additional time.
NOTE
SSL requires Internet Explorer version 6, 128 bit encryption, Service Pack 1, and patch Q323308.
Image Error Checking during File Transfer
The Access Point performs checks to verify that an image downloaded through HTTP or TFTP is valid. The following
checks are performed on the downloaded image:
Zero Image size
Large image size
Non VxWorks image
AP image
Digital signature verification
If any of the above checks fail on the downloaded image, the Access Point deletes the downloaded image and retains
the old image. Otherwise, if all checks pass successfully, the AP deletes the old image and retains the downloaded
image.
These checks are to ensure that the AP does not enter an invalid image state. The storage of the two images is only
temporary to ensure the proper verification; the two images will not be stored in the AP permanently.
Image error checking functions automatically in the background. No user configuration is required.

Related Applications
NOTE
This section helps you locate problems related to the AP device setup. For details about RADIUS, TFTP, serial
communication programs (such as HyperTerminal), Telnet applications, or web browsers, please refer to the
documentation that came with the application for assistance.
Troubleshooting Concepts
The following list identifies important troubleshooting concepts and topics. The most common initialization and
installation problems relate to IP addressing. For example, you must have valid IP addresses for both the AP and the
management computer to access the units HTTP interface.
IP Address management is fundamental.
Factory default units are set for Dynamic (DHCP) IP Address assignment. The default IP address for the AP
is 10.0.0.1 if your network does not have a DHCP server. If you connect the AP to a network with an active DHCP
server, then use ScanTool to locate the IP address of your unit. If a DHCP server is not active on your subnet, then
use ScanTool to assign a static IP address to the unit.
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) provides a means to download and upload files. These files include
the AP Image (executable program) and configuration files.
If the AP password is lost or forgotten, you will need to reset to default values. The Reset to Factory Default
Procedure resets configuration, but does not change the current AP Image.
If all else fails Use the Forced Reload Procedure to erase the current AP Image and then download a new
image. Once the new image is loaded, use the Reset to Factory Default Procedure to set the unit to factory default
values and reconfigure the unit.
The AP Supports a Command Line Interface (CLI). If you are having trouble locating your AP on the network,
connect to the unit directly using the serial interface and refer to Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) for CLI
command syntax and parameter names.
122
Troubleshooting the AP-2000
Symptoms and Solutions
Connectivity Issues
Connectivity issues include any problem that prevents you from powering up or connecting to the AP.
AP Unit Will Not Boot - No LED Activity
1. Make sure your power source is operating.
2. Make sure all cables are connected to the AP correctly.
3. If you are using Active Ethernet, make sure you are using a Category 5, foiled, twisted pair cable to power the AP.
Serial Link Does Not Work
1. Make sure you are using a standard, straight-through, 9-pin serial cable.
2. Double-check the physical network connections.
3. Make sure your PC terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) is active and configured to the following values:
Com Port: (COM1, COM2, etc. depending on your computer);
Baud rate: 9600; Data bits: 8; Stop bits: 1; Flow Control: None; Parity: None;
Line Feeds with Carriage Returns
(In HyperTerminal select:
File -> Properties -> Settings -> ASCII Setup -> Send Line Ends with Line Feeds)
Ethernet Link Does Not Work
1. Double-check the physical network connections. Use a known-good unit to make sure the network connection is
present. Once you have the AP IP address, you can use the Ping command over Ethernet to test the IP Address.
If the AP responds to the Ping, then the Ethernet Interface is working properly.
2. By default, the Access Point will attempt to automatically detect the Ethernet settings. However, if you are having
problems with the Ethernet link, manually configure the Access Points Ethernet settings. For example, if your
switch operates at 100 Mbits/sec/Full Duplex, manually configure the Access Point to use these settings (see
Ethernet). If you cannot access the unit over Ethernet, then use the CLI interface over the serial port to configure
the Ethernet port (see Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) and Set Ethernet Speed and Transmission Mode).
3. Perform network infrastructure troubleshooting (check switches, routers, etc.).
Basic Software Setup and Configuration Problems
Lost AP, Telnet, or SNMP Password
1. Perform the Reset to Factory Default Procedure in this guide. This procedure resets system and network
parameters, but does not affect the AP Image.
The default AP HTTP password is public, and the default Telnet password is also public.
Client Computer Cannot Connect
1. Client computers should have the same Network Name and security settings as the AP.
2. Network Names should be allocated and maintained by the Network Administrator.
3. Refer to the documentation that came with your client card for additional troubleshooting suggestions.
AP Has Incorrect IP Address
1. Default IP Address Assignment mode is dynamic (DHCP). If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, the
default IP Address is 10.0.0.1. If you have more than one unintialized AP connected to the network, they will all
have the same default IP address and you will not be able to communicate with them (due to an IP address
conflict). In this case, assign each AP a static IP address via the serial cable or turn off all units but one and change
the IP address using ScanTool one at a time.
123
2. The AP only contacts a DHCP server during boot-up. If your networks DHCP server is not available while the AP is
booting, the device will retain the last IP Address it had. Reboot the AP once your DHCP server is on-line again or
use the ScanTool to find the Access Points current IP address.
3. To find the units current IP address if using DHCP, open the IP Client Table in the DHCP Server and match the
Access Points IP address to its MAC address (found on the product label). Alternatively, use ScanTool to identify
an Access Points current IP address.
4. Once you have the current IP address, use the HTTP or CLI Interface to change the units IP settings, if necessary.
5. If you use static IP Address assignments, and cannot access the unit over Ethernet, use the Initializing the IP
Address using CLI procedure. Once the IP Address is set, you can use the Ethernet Interface to complete
configuration.
6. Perform the Reset to Factory Default Procedure in this guide. This will reset the unit to DHCP mode. If there is a
DHCP Server on the network, the DHCP Server will assign an IP Address to the AP.
HTTP (browser) or Telnet Interface Does Not Work
1. Make sure you are using a compatible browser:
2. Make sure you have the proper IP address. Enter your Access Points IP Address in the browser address bar,
similar to this example:
http://192.168.1.100
When the Enter Network Password window appears, leave the User Name field empty and enter the HTTP
password in the Password field. The default HTTP password is public.
3. Use the CLI over the serial port to check the IP Access Table, which can be restricting access to Telnet and HTTP.
HTML Help Files Do Not Appear
1. Verify that the HTML Help files are installed in the default directory:
C:\Program Files\ORiNOCO\AP\HTML\
2. If the Help files are not located in this folder, contact your network administrator to find out where the Help files are
located on your server.
3. Perform the following steps to verify the location or to enter the pathname for the Help files:
a. Click the Commands button in the HTTP interface.
b. Select the Help tab located at the top of the screen.
c. Enter the pathname where the Help files are located in the Help Link box.
d. Click OK when finished.
Telnet CLI Does Not Work
1. Make sure you have the proper IP Address. Enter your AP IP address in the Telnet connection dialog, from a DOS
prompt, type:
C:\> telnet <AP IP Address>
2. Confirm that your computer has an IP address in the same IP subnet as your Access Point.
3. Use the CLI over the serial port to check the IP Access Table, which can be restricting access to Telnet and HTTP.
TFTP Server Does Not Work
1. Make sure the TFTP Server has been started.
2. Verify the IP address of the TFTP Server. The server may be local or remote, so long as it has a valid IP address.
3. Configure the TFTP Server to point to the folder containing the file to be downloaded (or to the folder in which the
file is to be uploaded).
4. Verify that you have entered the proper AP Image file name (including the file extension) and directory path.
5. If you have a problem uploading a file, verify that the TFTP server is configured to allow uploads (typically the
default setting is to allow only downloads).
124
Client Connection Problems
Client Software Finds No Connection
Make sure you have configured your client software with the proper Network Name and Security settings. Network
Names and WEP Keys are typically allocated and maintained by your network administrator.
Client PC Card Does Not Work
1. Make sure you are using the latest PC Card driver software.
2. Download and install the latest ORiNOCO client software from http://www.proxim.com.
Intermittent Loss of Connection
1. Make sure you are within range of an active AP.
2. You can check the signal strength using the signal strength gauge on your client software.
Client Does Not Receive an IP Address - Cannot Connect to Internet
1. If the AP is configured as a DHCP server, open the Web-browser Interface and select the Configure button and
then the Network tab to make sure the proper DHCP settings are being used.
2. If you are not using the DHCP server feature on the AP, then make sure that your local DHCP server is accessible
from the Access Points subnet.
3. From the client computer, use the ping network command to test the connection with the AP. If the AP responds,
but you still cannot connect to the Internet, there may be a physical network configuration problem (contact your
network support staff).
4. If using Active Ethernet, make sure you are not using a crossover Ethernet cable between the AP and the hub.
VLAN Operation Issues
Verifying Proper Operation of the VLAN Feature
The correct VLAN configuration can be verified by pinging both wired and wireless hosts from both sides of the AP
device and the network switch. Traffic can be sniffed on both the wired (Ethernet) and wireless (WDS) backbones (if
configured). Bridge frames generated by wireless clients and viewed on one of the backbones should contain IEEE
802.1Q compliant VLAN headers or tags. The VLAN ID in the headers should correspond to one of the VLAN User IDs
configured for the AP.
NOTE
16 VLAN/SSID pairs are available for 802.11b/g APs and APs with an 11a Upgrade Kit. 802.11b APs and APs
with a 5 GHz Upgrade Kit only support one VLAN/SSID pair.
VLAN Workgroups
The correct VLAN assignment can be verified by pinging the AP to ensure connectivity, by pinging the switch to ensure
VLAN properties, and by pinging hosts past the switch to confirm the switch is functional. Ultimately, traffic can be
sniffed on the Ethernet or WDS interfaces (if configured) using third-party packages. Most problems can be avoided
by ensuring that 802.1Q compliant VLAN tags containing the proper VLAN ID have been inserted in the bridged
frames. The VLAN ID in the header should correspond to the users assigned network name.
What if network traffic is being directed to a nonexistent host?
All sessions are disconnected, traffic is lost, and a manual override is necessary
Workaround: you can configure the switch to mimic the nonexistent host
125
I have just configured the Management ID and now I can't manage the AP?
Check to ensure your password is correct. If your password is incorrect or all inbound packets do NOT have the
correct tag, then a manual override is necessary.
CAUTION
!
The manual override process disconnects all users and resets all values to factory defaults.
Active Ethernet (AE)
The AP Does Not Work
1. Verify that you are using a standard UTP Category 5 cable.
2. Try a different port on the same AE hub (remember to move the input port accordingly) if it works, there is
probably a faulty port or bad RJ -45 port connection.
3. If possible, try to connect the AP to a different AE hub.
4. Try using a different Ethernet cable if it works, there is probably a faulty connection over the long cable, or a bad
RJ -45 connection.
5. Check power plug and hub.
6. If the Ethernet link goes down, check the cable, cable type, switch, and hub.
There Is No Data Link
1. Verify that the indicator for the port is on.
2. Verify that the AE hub is connected to the Ethernet network with a good connection.
3. Verify that the Ethernet cable is Category 5 or better and is less than 100 meters (approximately 325 feet) in length
from the Ethernet source to the AP.
4. Try to connect a different device to the same port on the AE hub if it works and a link is established, there is
probably a faulty data link in the AP.
5. Try to re-connect the AP to a different output port (remember to move the input port accordingly) if it works, there
is probably a faulty output or input port in the AE hub or a bad RJ -45 connection.
Overload Indications
1. Verify that you are not using a cross-over cable between the AE output port and the AP.
2. Verify that there is no short over any of the twisted pair cables.
3. Move the device into a different output port if it works, there is probably a faulty port or bad RJ -45 connection.
Recovery Procedures
The most common installation problems relate to IP addressing. For example, without the TFTP server IP Address,
you will not be able to download a new AP Image to the AP. IP Address management is fundamental. We suggest you
create a chart to document and validate the IP addresses for your system.
If the password is lost or forgotten, you will need to reset the AP to default values. The Reset to Factory Default
Procedure resets configuration settings, but does not change the current AP Image.
If the AP has a corrupted software image, follow the Forced Reload Procedure to erase the current AP Image and
download a new image.
126
Reset to Factory Default Procedure
Use this procedure to reset the network configuration values, including the Access Points IP address and subnet
mask. The current AP Image is not deleted. Follow this procedure if you forget the Access Points password:
1. Press and hold the RELOAD button for 10 seconds.
NOTE
See RELOAD and RESET Buttons to identify the buttons. You need to use a pin or the end of a paperclip to
press a button.
Result: The AP reboots, and the factory default network values are restored.
2. If not using DHCP, use the ScanTool or CLI over a serial connection to set the IP address, subnet mask, and other
IP parameters. See Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) for CLI information.
Figure 7-1 RELOAD and RESET Buttons
Forced Reload Procedure
Use this procedure to erase the current AP Image and download a new AP Image. In some cases, specifically when a
missing or corrupted AP Image prevents successful booting, you may need to use ScanTool or the Bootloader CLI to
download a new executable AP Image.
NOTE
This does not delete the APs configuration (in other words, the Forced Reload Procedure does not reset to
device to factory defaults). If you need to force the AP to the factory default state after loading a new AP
image, use the Reset to Factory Default Procedure above.
127
For this procedure, you will first erase the AP Image currently installed on the unit and then use either ScanTool or the
Bootloader CLI (over the serial port) to set the IP address and download a new AP Image. Follow these steps:
1. While the unit is running, press the RESET button.
NOTE
See RELOAD and RESET Buttons to identify the buttons. You need to use a pin or the end of a paperclip to
press a button.
Result: The AP reboots and the indicators begin to flash.
CAUTION
!
By completing Step 2, the firmware in the AP will be erased. You will need an Ethernet connection, a TFTP
server, and a serial cable (if using the Bootloader CLI) to reload firmware.
2. Press and hold the RELOAD button for about 20 seconds until the POWER LED turns amber.
Result: The AP deletes the current AP Image.
3. Follow one of the procedures below to load a new AP Image to the Access Point:
Download a New Image Using ScanTool
Download a New Image Using the Bootloader CLI
Download a New Image Using ScanTool
To download the AP Image, you will need an Ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP server resides
and to a computer that is running ScanTool (this is either two separate computers connected to the same network or a
single computer running both programs).
ScanTool detects if an Access Point does not have a valid software image installed. In this case, the TFTP Server and
Image File Name parameters are enabled in the ScanTools Change screen so you can download a new image to the
unit. (These fields are grayed out if ScanTool does not detect a software image problem.)
Preparing to Download the AP Image
Before starting, you need to know the Access Points IP address, subnet mask, the TFTP Server IP Address, and the
AP Image file name. Make sure the TFTP server is running and configured to point to the folder containing the image
to be downloaded.
Download Procedure
Follow these steps to use ScanTool to download a software image to an Access Point with a missing image:
3. Launch ScanTool.
4. Highlight the entry for the AP you want to update and click Change.
5. Set IP Address Type to Static.
NOTE
You need to assign static IP information temporarily to the Access Point since its DHCP client functionality is
not available when no image is installed on the device.
6. Enter an unused IP address that is valid on your network in the IP Address field. You may need to contact your
network administrator to get this address.
7. Enter the networks Subnet Mask in the field provided.
8. Enter the networks Gateway IP Address, if necessary. You may need to contact your network administrator to get
this address. You should only need to enter the default gateway address if the Access Point and the TFTP server
are separated by a router.
9. Enter the IP address of your TFTP server in the field provided.
10. Enter the Image File Name (including the file extension). Enter the full directory path and file name. If the file is
located in the default TFTP directory, you need enter only the file name.
128
11. Click OK.
Result: The Access Point will reboot and the download will begin automatically. You should see downloading
activity begin after a few seconds within the TFTP servers status screen.
12. Click OK when prompted that the device has been updated successfully to return to the Scan List screen.
13. Click Cancel to close the ScanTool.
14. When the download process is complete, configure the AP as described in Getting Started and Performing
Advanced Configuration.
Download a New Image Using the Bootloader CLI
To download the AP Image, you will need an Ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP server resides.
This can be any computer on the LAN or connected to the AP with a cross-over Ethernet cable.
You must also connect the AP to a computer with a standard serial cable and use a terminal client, such as
HyperTerminal. From the terminal, enter CLI Commands to set the IP address and download an AP Image.
Preparing to Download the AP Image
Before starting, you need to know the Access Points IP address, subnet mask, the TFTP Server IP Address, and the
AP Image file name. Make sure the TFTP server is running and configured to point to the folder containing the image
to be downloaded.
Download Procedure
2. Copy the latest software updates to your TFTP servers default directory.
3. Use a straight-through serial cable to connect the Access Points serial port to your computers serial port.
NOTE
You must remove the Access Points cable cover and front cover to access the serial port.
4. Open your terminal emulation program (like HyperTerminal) and set the following connection properties:
Com Port: <COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your computer>
Baud rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None

[ Devi ce name] >show ip (to confirm your new settings)
[ Devi ce name] >show tftp (to confirm your new settings)
[ Devi ce name] >reboot 0
Example:
[ Devi ce name] >set ipaddr 10.0.0.12
[ Devi ce name] >set ipsubmask 255.255.255.0
[ Devi ce name] >set tftpipaddr 10.0.0.20
[ Devi ce name] >set tftpfilename MyImage.bin
[ Devi ce name] >set ipgw 10.0.0.30
[ Devi ce name] >show ip
[ Devi ce name] >show tftp
Result: The AP will reboot and then download the image file. You should see downloading activity begin after a few
seconds within the TFTP servers status screen.
8. When the download process is complete, configure the AP as described in Getting Started and Performing
Advanced Configuration.
Setting IP Address using Serial Port
Use the following procedure to set an IP address over the serial port using the CLI. The network administrator typically
provides the AP IP address.
Hardware and Software Requirements
Standard straight-through serial data (RS-232) cable with a one male DB-9 connector and one female DB-9
connector. The AP comes with a female 9-pin serial port.
ASCII Terminal software, such as HyperTerminal.
Attaching the Serial Port Cable
1. Unlock and remove the cable cover from the AP.
2. Remove the front cover from the AP to reveal the serial port.
3. Connect one end of the serial cable to the AP and the other end to a serial port on your computer.
4. Power on the computer and AP, if necessary.
Initializing the IP Address using CLI
After installing the serial port cable, you may use the CLI to communicate with the AP. CLI supports most generic
terminal emulation programs, such as HyperTerminal (which is included with the Windows operating systems). In
addition, many web sites offer shareware or commercial terminal programs you can download. Once the IP address
has been assigned, you can use the HTTP interface or the CLI over Telnet to complete configuration.
130
Follow these steps to assign the AP an IP address:
Baud rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None
Parity: None
3. Press the RESET button on the AP (see RELOAD and RESET Buttons to identify the location of the RESET
button).
Result: The terminal display shows Power On Self Tests (POST) activity, and then displays a CLI prompt, similar to
the example below. This process may take up to 90 seconds.
[ Devi ce name] > Pl ease ent er passwor d:
4. Enter the CLI password (default is public).
Result: The terminal displays a welcome message and then the CLI Prompt:
[ Devi ce name] >
5. Enter show ip. Result: Network parameters appear:
Figure 7-2 Result of show ip CLI Command
6. Change the IP address and other network values using set and reboot CLI commands, similar to the example
below (use your own IP address and subnet mask). Note that IP Address Type is set to Dynamic by default. If you
have a DHCP server on your network, you should not need to manually configure the Access Points IP address;
the Access Point will obtain an IP address from the networks DHCP server during boot-up.
Result: After each entry the CLI reminds you to reboot; however wait to reboot until all commands have been
entered.
[ Devi ce name] >set ipaddr <IP Address>
[ Devi ce name] >set ipsubmask <IP Subnet Mask>
[ Devi ce name] >set ipgw <Default Gateway IP Address>
[ Devi ce name] >show ip (to confirm your new settings)
7. After the AP reboots, verify the new IP address by reconnecting to the CLI and enter a show ip command.
Alternatively, you can ping the AP from a network computer to confirm that the new IP address has taken effect.
8. When the proper IP address is set, use the HTTP interface or CLI over Telnet to configure the rest of the units
operating parameters.
131
Related Applications
RADIUS Authentication Server
If you enabled RADIUS Authentication on the AP, make sure that your networks RADIUS servers are operational.
Otherwise, clients will not be able to log in. There are several reasons the authentication server services might be
unavailable, here are two typical things to check:
Make sure you have the proper RADIUS authentication server information setup configured in the AP. Check the
RADIUS Authentication Servers Shared Secret and Destination Port number (default is 1812; for RADIUS
Accounting, the default is 1813).
Make sure the RADIUS authentication server RAS setup matches the AP.
TFTP Server
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server allows you to transfer files across a network. You can upload
configuration files from the AP for backup or copying, and you can download configuration files or new software
images. The TFTP software is located on the ORiNOCO AP Installation CD-ROM.
If a TFTP server is not configured and running, you will not be able to download and upload images and configuration
files to/from the AP. Remember that the TFTP server does not have to be local, so long as you have a valid TFTP IP
address. Note that you do not need a TFTP server running unless you want to transfer files to or from the AP.
After the TFTP server is installed:
Check to see that TFTP is configured to point to the directory containing the AP Image.
Make sure you have the proper TFTP server IP Address, the proper AP Image file name, and that the TFTP server
is connected.
Make sure the TFTP server is configured to both send and receive, with no time-out.
132
A Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
This section describes the APs Command Line (CLI) Interface. CLI commands can be used to initialize, configure, and
manage the Access Point.
CLI commands may be entered in real time through a keyboard or submitted with CLI scripts.
A CLI Batch file is a user-editable configuration file that provides a user-friendly way to change the AP
configuration through a file upload. The CLI Batch file is an ASCII file that facilitates Auto Configuration
because it does not require the user to access one of the APs management interfaces to make configuration
changes as is required with the proprietary TLV format configuration file.
The CLI is available through both the Serial Port interface and over the Ethernet interface using Telnet.
NOTE
All CLI commands and parameters are case-sensitive.

Prerequisite Skills and Knowledge
To use this document effectively, you should have a working knowledge of Local Area Networking (LAN) concepts,
network access infrastructures, and client-server relationships. In addition, you should be familiar with software setup
procedures for typical network operating systems and servers.
Notation Conventions
Computer prompts are shown as constant width type. For example: [ Devi ce- Name] >
Information that you input as shown is displayed in bold constant width type. For example:
[ Devi ce name] > set ipaddr 10.0.0.12
The names of keyboard keys, software buttons, and field names are displayed in bold type. For example: Click the
Configure button.
Screen names are displayed in bold italics. For example, the System Status screen.
Important Terminology
Configuration Files - Database files containing the current Access Point configuration. Configuration items include
the IP Address and other network-specific values. Config files may be downloaded to the Access Point or uploaded
for backup or troubleshooting.
133
Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Download vs. Upload - Downloads transfer files to the Access Point. Uploads transfer files from the Access Point.
The TFTP server performs file transfers in both directions.
Group - A logical collection of network parameter information. For example, the System Group is composed of
several related parameters. Groups can also contain Tables. All items for a given Group can be displayed with a
show <Group> CLI Command.
Image File - The Access Point software executed from RAM. To update an Access Point you typically download a
new Image File. This file is often referred to as the AP Image.
Parameter - A fundamental network value that can be displayed and may be changeable. For example, the Access
Point must have a unique IP Address and the Wireless interface must be assigned an SSID. Change parameters
with the CLI set Command, and view them with the CLI show Command.
Table - Tables hold parameters for several related items. For example, you can add several potential managers to
the SNMP Table. All items for a given Table can be displayed with a show <Table> CLI Command.
TFTP - Refers to the TFTP Server, used for file transfers.
Navigation and Special Keys
This CLI supports the following navigation and special key functions to move the cursor along the prompt line.
CLI Error Messages
The following table describes the error messages associated with improper inputs or expected CLI behavior.
Command Line Interface (CLI) Variations
Administrators use the CLI to control Access Point operation and monitor network statistics. The AP supports two
types of CLI: the Bootloader CLI and the normal CLI. The Bootloader CLI provides a limited command set, and is used
when the current AP Image is bad or missing. The Bootloader CLI allows you to assign an IP Address and download a
new image. Once the image is downloaded and running, the Access Point uses the normal CLI. This guide covers the
normal CLI unless otherwise specified.

Bootloader CLI
The Bootloader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform initial configuration of the AP. This interface
is only accessible via the serial interface if the AP does not contain a software image or a download image command
over TFTP has failed.
The Bootloader CLI provides you with the ability to configure the initial setup parameters as well as download a
software image to the device.
The following functions are supported by the Bootloader CLI:
configuration of initial device parameters using the set command
show command to view the devices configuration parameters
help command to provide additional information on all commands supported by the Bootloader CLI
reboot command to reboot the device
The parameters supported by the Bootloader CLI (for viewing and modifying) are:
System Name
IP Address Assignment Type
IP Address
IP Mask
Gateway IP Address
TFTP Server IP Address
Image File Name (including the file extension)
The following lists display the results of using the help command in the Bootloader CLI:

CLI Command Types
This guide divides CLI Commands into two categories: Operational and Parameter Controls.
Operational CLI Commands
These commands affect Access Point behavior, such as downloading, rebooting, and so on. After entering commands
(and parameters, if any) press the Enter key to execute the Command Line.
Operational commands include:
?: Typing a question mark lists CLI Commands or parameters, depending on usage (you do not need to type Enter
after typing this command)
done, exit, quit: Terminates the CLI session
download: Uses a TFTP server to download image files, config files, bootloader upgrade files, SSL
certificates, SSL private keys, SSH public keys, SSH private keys, or CLI Batch Files to the Access Point
help: Displays general CLI help information or command help information, such as command usage and syntax
history: Remembers commands to help avoid re-entering complex statements
passwd: Sets the Access Points CLI password
reboot: Reboots the Access Point in the specified time
search: Lists the parameters in a specified Table
upload: Uses TFTP server to upload config files from Access Point to TFTP default directory or specified path
? (List Commands)
This command can be used in a number of ways to display available commands and parameters.
The following table lists each operation and provides a basic example. Following the table are detailed examples and
display results for each operation.
Example 1. Display Command list
To display the Command List, enter ?.
[ Devi ce- Name] >?
Figure A-3 Result of ? CLI command
Example 2. Display specific Commands
To show all commands that start with specified letters, enter one or more letters, then ? with no space between letters
and ?.

137
Example 4. Display Prompts for Successive Parameters
Enter the command, a space, and then ?. Then, when the parameter prompt appears, enter the parameter value.
Result: The parameter is changed and a new CLI line is echoed with the new value (in the first part of the following
example, the value is the IP Address of the TFTP server).
After entering one parameter, you may add another ? to the new CLI line to see the next parameter prompt, and so on
until you have entered all of the required parameters. The following example shows how this is used for the download
Command. The last part of the example shows the completed download Command ready for execution.
[ Devi ce- Name] >download ?
<TFTP IP Address>
[ Devi ce- Name] >download 192.168.0.101 ?
<File Name>
[ Devi ce- Name] >download 192.168.0.101 apimage ?
<file type (config/img/bootloader)>
[ Devi ce- Name] >download 192.168.0.101 apimage img <CR>

Parameter Control Commands
The following sections cover the two Parameter Control Commands (show and set) and include several tables
showing parameter properties. These commands allow you to view (show) all parameters and statistics and to change
(set) parameters.
show: To see any Parameter or Statistic value, you can specify a single parameter, a Group, or a Table.
set: Use this CLI Command to change parameter values. You can use a single CLI statement to modify Tables, or
you can modify each parameter separately.
show CLI Command
Displays the value of the specified parameter, or displays all parameter values of a specified group (parameter table).
Groups contain Parameters and Tables. Tables contain parameters for a series of similar entities.
To see a definition and syntax example, type only show and then press the Enter key. To see a list of available
parameters, enter a question mark (?) after show (example: show ?).
Syntax:
[ Devi ce- Name] >show <parameter>
[ Devi ce- Name] >show <group>
[ Devi ce- Name] >show <table>
Examples:
[ Devi ce- Name] >show ipaddr
[ Devi ce- Name] >show network
[ Devi ce- Name] >show mgmtipaccesstbl
set CLI Command
Sets (modifies) the value of the specified parameter. To see a definition and syntax example, type only set and then
press the Enter key. To see a list of available parameters, enter a space, then a question mark (?) after set (example:
set?).
Syntax:
[ Devi ce- Name] >set <parameter> <value>
[ Devi ce- Name] >set <table> <index> <argument 1> <value 1> ... <argument N> <value N>
Example:
[ Devi ce- Name] >set sysloc Main Lobby
[ Devi ce- Name] >set mgmtipaccesstbl 0 ipaddr 10.0.0.10 ipmask 255.255.0.0
140
Configuring Objects that Require Reboot
Certain objects supported by the Access Point require a device reboot in order for the changes to take effect. In order
to inform the end-user of this behavior, the CLI provides informational messages when the user has configured an
object that requires a reboot. The following messages are displayed as a result of the configuring such object or
objects.
Example 1: Configuring objects that require the device to be rebooted
The following message is displayed every time the user has configured an object that requires the device to be
rebooted.
[ Devi ce- Name] >set ipaddr 135.114.73.10
The following elements require reboot
ipaddr
Example 2: Executing the exit, quit, or done commands when an object that requires reboot has
been configured
In addition to the above informational message, the CLI also provides a message as a result of the exit, quit, or done
command if changes have been made to objects that require reboot. If you make changes to objects that require
reboot and execute the exit command the following message is displayed:
[ Devi ce- Name] >exit<CR> OR quit<CR> OR done<CR>
Modifications have been made to parameters that require the device to be rebooted. These
changes will only take effect after the next reboot.
set and show Command Examples
In general, you will use the CLI show Command to view current parameter values and use the CLI set Command to
change parameter values. As shown in the following examples, parameters may be set individually or all parameters
for a given table can be set with a single statement.
Example 1 - Set the Access Point IP Address Parameter
Syntax:
[ Devi ce- Name] >set <parameter name> <parameter value>
Example:
[ Devi ce- Name] >set ipaddr 10.0.0.12
Result: IP Address will be changed when you reboot the Access Point. The CLI reminds you when rebooting is
required for a change to take effect. To reboot immediately, enter reboot 0 (zero) at the CLI prompt.
Example 2 - Create a table entry or row
Use 0 (zero) as the index to a table when creating an entry. When creating a table row, only the mandatory table
elements are required (comment is usually an optional table element). For optional table elements, the default value is
generally applied if you do not specify a value.
Syntax:
[ Devi ce- Name] >set <table name> <table index> <element 1> <value 1>
<element n> <value n>
Example:
Result: A new table entry is created for IP address 10.0.0.10 with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask.
141
Example 3 - Modify a table entry or row
Use the index to be modified and the table elements you would like to modify. For example, suppose the IP Access
Table has one entry and you wanted to modify the IP address:
[ Devi ce- Name] >set mgmtipaccesstbl 1 ipaddr 10.0.0.11
You can also modify several elements in the table entry. Enter the index number and specific table elements you would
like to modify. (Hint: Use the search Command to see the elements that belong to the table.)
cmt First Row
Example 4 - Enable, Disable, or Delete a table entry or row
The following example illustrates how to manage the second entry in a table.
Syntax:
[ Devi ce- Name] >set <Table> index status <enable, disable, delete>
[ Devi ce- Name] >set <Table> index status <1=enable, 2=disable, 3=delete>
Example:
[ Devi ce- Name] >set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status enable
[ Devi ce- Name] >set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status disable
[ Devi ce- Name] >set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status delete
[ Devi ce- Name] >set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status 2
NOTE
You may need to enable a disabled table entry before you can change the entrys elements.
Example 5 - Show the Group Parameters
This example illustrates how to view all elements of a group or table.
Syntax:
[ Devi ce- Name] >show <group name>
Example:
Result: The CLI displays network group parameters. Note show network and show ip return the same data.
Figure A-10 Results of show network and show ip CLI Commands
142
Example 6 - Show Individual and Table Parameters
1. View a single parameter.
Syntax:
[ Devi ce- Name] >show <parameter name>
Example:
[ Devi ce- Name] >show ipaddr
Result: Displays the Access Point IP address.
Figure A-11 Result of show ipaddr CLI Command
2. View all parameters in a table.
Syntax:
[ Devi ce- Name] > show <table name>
Example:[ Devi ce- Name] >show mgmtipaccesstbl
Result: Displays the IP Access Table and its entries.
Using Tables & User Strings
Working with Tables
Each table element (or parameter) must be specified, as in the example below.
Below are the rules for creating, modifying, enabling/disabling, and deleting table entries.
Creation
The table name is required.
The table index is required for table entry/instance creation the index is always zero (0).
The order in which the table arguments or objects are entered in not important.
Parameters that are not required can be omitted, in which case they will be assigned the default value.
Modification
The table index is required to modify the table, index must be the index of the entry to be modified.
Only the table objects that are to be modified need to be specified. Not all the table objects are required.
If multiple table objects are to be modified the order in which they are entered is not important.
If the entire table entry is to be modified, all the table objects have to be specified.
Enabling/Disabling
The table index is required for table enabling/disabling the index should be the index of the entry to be
enabled/disabled.
The entrys new state (either enable or disable) is required.
Deletion
The table index is required for table deletion the index should be the index of the entry to be deleted.
The word delete is required.
143
Using Strings
Since there are several string objects supported by the AP, a string delimiter is required for the strings to be interpreted
correctly by the command line parser. For this CLI implementation, the single quote or double quote character can be
used at the beginning and at the end of the string.
For example:
[ Devi ce- Name] >set sysname Lobby - Does not need quote marks
[ Devi ce- Name] >set sysname Front Lobby - Requires quote marks.
The scenarios supported by this CLI are:
The string delimiter does not have to be used for every string object. The single quote or double quote only has to be
used for string objects that contain blank space characters. If the string object being used does not contain blank
spaces, then the string delimiters, single or double quotes, mentioned in this section are not required.
Configuring the AP using CLI commands
Log into the AP using HyperTerminal
Baud rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None
Parity: None
NOTE
Proxim recommends changing your default passwords immediately. To perform this operation using CLI
commands, refer to Change Passwords.
Log into the AP using Telnet
The CLI commands can be used to access, configure, and manage the AP using Telnet. Follow these steps:
1. Confirm that your computers IP address is in the same IP subnet as the AP.
NOTE
If you have not previously configured the Access Points IP address and do not have a DHCP server on the
network, the Access Point will default to an IP address of 10.0.0.1.
2. Go to the DOS command prompt on your computer.
3. Type telnet <IP Address of the unit>.

Set Rogue Access Point Detection (RAD) Parameters
The Rogue AP Detection (RAD) feature enables an additional security level for wireless LAN deployments. The RAD
feature provides a mechanism for detecting Rogue Access Points by utilizing the coverage of the trusted Access Point
deployment.
The Rogue AP Scan employs background scanning using low-level 802.11 scanning functions for effective wireless
detection of Access Points in its coverage area with minimal impact on the normal operation of the Access Point.
The set radstatus command enables Rogue Access Point Detection. The scan repetition duration (radscanint) is
also configurable.If the Access Point uses directional antennas to provide directional coverage, then the interface
bitmask (radifbitmask) can be configured to maximize the scanning coverage area.
[ Devi ce- Name] >set radstatus enable
[ Devi ce- Name] >set radscanint <15-1440>

Set Hardware Configuration Reset Parameters
The Hardware Configuration Reset commands allows you to enable or disable the hardware reset functionality and to
change the password to be used for configuration reset during boot up.
To disable hardware configuration reset, enter:
[ Devi ce- Name] >set hwconfigresetstatus disable
To enable hardware configuration reset, enter:
[ Devi ce- Name] >set hwconfigresetstatus enable
To define the Configuration Reset Password to be used for configuration reset during boot up, enter the following
command
[ Devi ce- Name] >set configresetpasswd <password>]
It is important to safely store the configuration reset password. If a user forgets the configuration reset password, the
user will be unable to reset the AP to factory default configuration if the AP becomes inaccessible and the hardware
configuration reset functionality is disable.

IAPP Parameters
NOTE
These parameters configure the Inter Access Point Protocol (IAPP) for roaming. Leave these settings at their
default value unless a technical representative asks you to change them.
SpectraLink VoIP Parameters (802.11b and bg Modes Only)
These parameters enable or disable the SpectraLink Voice over IP feature.
The Spectralink Legacy Support parameter should be enabled if the AP is operating in 802.11bg mode and legacy
802.11 Spectralink telephones are used. This parameter will set the basic rates of the AP to be 1 and 2 Mbps in
802.11bg mode and will allow old telephones that operate only at the 1 and 2 Mbps basic rate to connect to the AP.

CLI Batch File
A CLI Batch file is a user-editable configuration file that provides a user-friendly way to change the AP configuration
through a file upload. The CLI Batch file is an ASCII file that facilitates Auto Configuration because it does not require
the user to access one of the APs management interfaces to make configuration changes as is required with the
proprietary TLV format configuration file.
The CLI Batch file does not replace the existing TLV format configuration file, which continues to define the
configuration of the AP.
The CLI Batch file contains a list of CLI commands that the AP will execute. The AP performs the commands in the file
immediately after the file is uploaded to the AP manually or during Auto Configuration.
The AP parses the file and executes the CLI commands. Commands that do not require a reboot take effect
immediately, while commands that require a reboot (typically commands affecting a wireless interface) will take effect
after reboot.
Auto Configuration and the CLI Batch File
The Auto Configuration feature allows download of the TLV format configuration file or the CLI Batch file. The AP
detects whether the file uploaded is TLV format or a CLI Batch file. If the AP detects a CLI Batch file (a file with
extension .cli), the AP executes the file immediately.
The AP will reboot after executing the CLI Batch file. Auto Configuration will not result in repeated reboots if the CLI
Batch file contains rebootable parameters.
CLI Batch File Format and Syntax
The CLI Batch file must be named with a .cli extension to be recognized by the AP. The maximum file size allowed is
100 Kbytes, and files with larger sizes cannot be uploaded to the AP. The CLI commands supported in the CLI Batch
File are a subset of the legal AP CLI commands.
The follow commands are supported:
Set commands
Reboot command (the reboot command ignores the argument (time))
Passwd command
Each command must be separated by a new line. Refer to Appendix A, CLI Command Reference for detailed
command syntax.
NOTE
The following commands are not supported: Show command, Debug command, Undebug command, Upload
command, Download command, Kill command, and the Exit, Quit, and Done commands.
Sample CLI Batch File
The following is a sample CLI Batch File:
set sysname syst em1
set sysl oc sunnyval e
set sysct name cont act 1
set sysct phone 1234567890
set sysct emai l emai l @domai n. com

180
Reboot Behavior
When a CLI Batch file contains a reboot command, the reboot will occur only after the entire CLI Batch file has been
executed.
There are two methods of uploading the CLI Batch File:
Upload
Upload and reboot (this option is to be used for a CLI Batch file containing the configuration parameters that

If there is any error during the execution of the CLI Batch file, the AP will stop executing the file. The AP generates
traps for all errors and each trap contains the following information:
Start of execution
Original filename of the uploaded file
End of execution (along with the status of execution)
Line number and description of failures that occurred during execution
The AP logs all the errors during execution and stores them in the Flash memory in a CLI Batch File Error Log named
CBFERR.LOG. The CLI Batch File Error Log can be downloaded though TFTP, HTTP, or CLI file transfer to a
specified host.

B ASCII Character Chart
You can configure WEP Encryption Keys in either Hexadecimal or ASCII format. Hexadecimal digits are 0-9 and A-F
(not case sensitive). ASCII characters are 0-9, A-F, a-f (case sensitive), and punctuation marks. Each ASCII character
corresponds to two hexadecimal digits.
The table below lists the ASCII characters that you can use to configure WEP Encryption Keys. It also lists the
Hexadecimal equivalent for each ASCII character.

Wireless Communication Range
The range of the wireless signal is related to the composition of objects in the radio wave path and the transmit rate of
the wireless communication. Communications at a lower transmit range may travel longer distances. The range values
listed in the Communications Range Chart are typical distances as calculated by Proxims development team for
FCC-certified products. These values provide a rule of thumb and may vary according to the actual radio conditions at
the location where the product is used.
The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are placed near metal surfaces and solid
high-density materials. Range is also impacted due to obstacles in the signal path of the radio that may either absorb
or reflect the radio signal.
In Open Office environments, antennas can see each other (no physical obstructions between them). In Semi-open
Office environments, workspace is divided by shoulder-height, hollow wall elements; antennas are at desktop level. In
a Closed Office environment, solid walls and other obstructions may affect signal strength.
The following tables show typical range values for various environments for FCC-certified products (range may differ
for products certified in other regulatory domains).
