Configuring RADIUS per Group RADIUS server parameters can also be configured per Group. Settings are the same as for a system-wide RADIUS server. Configuring an LDAP Authentication Server 22 Server IP: Enter the LDAP Server IP address. Server Port: Enter the server’s port number. User Base DN: Enter the DN for the base of users. Admin Domain: Defines the administrative domain. Domain Admin User: User name for administering domain. Domain Admin Password: Password for Domain Admin User.
Profiles Profiles are the basic building blocks of HotPoint AP configurations. They represent the settings of a virtual machine that can be instantiated on any HotPoint unit. Profiles are a set of configuration that can be applied onto an AP. These configurations include radio parameters, load balancing and rate limit parameters. Each access point under the control of the FWC2050 is capable of supporting 8 profiles per radio, or 16 profiles in total.
Basic and Advanced - Radio Settings for Basic and Advanced are similar, except that the Advanced option allows you to configure settings per Group. Name: Displays user-assigned name of profile. SSID: Displays the SSID of access point. Broadcast SSID: Enables broadcasting of the SSID in the clear. Network Authentication: Displays type of authentication required. Data Encryption: Displays encryption type. Wireless Client Security Separation: Controls security among clients connected to AP.
Load Balancing Max Client: The maximum number of clients the that can connect to this profile. RSSI: Defines the weakest signal that the APs in this profile will accept. The controller supports balancing of load on the APs it manages. This is based on the number of clients connected to APs as well as signal quality of clients.
WLAN Network This screen allows you to assign each AP to a group. Captive Portal The Captive Portal allows you to require the user to log in, and optionally accept a EULA, in order to use the wireless service. 26 Portal Type: Portals can be guest (open to all) or require an ID and password. In Guest mode, the user must enter an email address to gain access. In Captive mode, the user must enter a user name and password. These values are defined as shown in “Maintenance” on page 32.
Chapter 6 Monitoring Controller Summary This screen displays a summary of the current managed Access Point status, rogue access points detected, current wireless stations connected, FWC2050 System Information and Network Usage. Clicking on the individual windows will lead to a new screen showing greater detail. Up: Managed Access Points running properly. Down: Number of managed Access Points which cannot be pinged.
Usage This shows the transmit, receive, and network usage rates for the AP. Access Point List This shows the status of each AP under management. 28 Name: Displays name of Access Point. Location: Displays location of Access Point. Status: Displays status of Access Point. MAC Address: Displays MAC Address of Access Point. IP address: Displays management IP address used by the FWC2050 to connect to Access Point. Model: Displays Access Point Model.
Clients This shows connected clients. Rogue AP List This shows a list of detected rogue APs. You can double-click on an AP to see a detailed view. The shaded region (at right in this example) shows the estimated location of the rogue AP.
Profiles SSID: Security: Mode: Status: Group Name: Wireless SSID configured for that Profile. Open/wep/wpa/wpa2 authentication mode of security. 802.11 b/bg/ng or 802.11 a/na mode for security profile. Indicates usage of that profile. Name assigned to the group. DHCP Lease The DHCP Lease screen displays current DHCP clients which have been allocated IP addresses. Host Name: The host name of the client, if possible to resolve. IP: IP address allocated to DHCP client by the FWC2050.
WLAN SSID Mapping This shows the SSIDs detected within range of the AP network. Clients Local Client List This screen shows connected clients. Blacklisted Clients This screen shows blacklisted clients.
Chapter 7 Maintenance User Management This allows adding and removing FWC2050 administrative users. “admin” is the default user with administrative privileges and cannot be removed. 32 User Name: Add the name of the new user. Old Password: Enter the old password to make changes. User Type: Specify the type of access permitted to FWC2050 user Read-only/Administrative. A read-only user cannot make any configuration changes. He is allowed to see the all the statistics and configuration information.
Upgrade Upgrade FWC2050 Firmware You can install a new version of the FWC2050 software using the Firmware Upgrade page. You have a choice of three methods. You can use a local file, or FTP or TFTP to access a remote file. You can also set the upgrade to occur immediately, or at a scheduled time. Go to the Firetide Web site (www.Firetide.com) customer service downloads section to get new versions of the FWC2050 software. Includes AP firmware.
Backup/Restore Backup: Allows you to save the settings of the FWC2050 to a file. Restore: Configures the FWC2050 to the settings previously saved. Reboot/Reset Both Controllers and Access Points can be rebooted or reset to factory parameters. Remote Management Session Timeout You can specify a time period for automatic disconnect if the management connection remains idle.
Logs & Alerts Numerous Log Types are available. System Alerts Log Shows logged events. The results can be filtered. RF Events Log Shows logged RF events.
Load Balancing Shows occurrences of load balancing among APs. Rate Limit Events Shows occurrences of rate-limit events on clients using excess bandwidth.
Saving Logs Logs from individual APs and the FWC2050 Controller can be saved. AP Logs Select an AP to save a log of events associated with it. You will be prompted to enter a file name and select a location. System Logs You will be prompted to enter a file name and select a location.
