128-bit Dynamic Security Link
If you configure an access point for 128-bit Dynamic Security Link, there must be
at least one entry in the User Access List, which determines the users that are
allowed access to the access point.
In the Configuration Management System navigation tree under Security, click
User Access List. The User Access List page appears. You can define up to 256
users in the User Access List.
To add a new user, click Add new user. In the next page, type the user name and
password in the spaces provided and click OK.
To delete users, check the check boxes next to the names to be deleted and click
Delete users. In the next page, click Delete. If you click Reset, the check boxes are
unchecked and you can make new choices.
To modify a password, click the radio button next to the user name and click
Change user password. In the next page, change the password in the spaces
provided and click OK. If you click Reset, the radio button is cleared and you can
choose another user name.
In the Configuration Management System navigation tree under Tools, click
Change Password. The Change Administration Password page appears, where you
can change the administration password for the access point. Enter the current
password and new password in the spaces provided and click OK.
Configuration templates help you to copy standard parameters from one access
point 6000 to another. Use of templates makes configuring access points easier and
faster because after you save a template, you can load it to another access point.
1 Set the basic access point parameters in the System Configuration pages.
If you set specific parameters such as the Device Name or a specific IP address,
these parameters will not be saved in the template.
2 In the Configuration Management System navigation tree under Save/Restore
Files, click Save Template.
Description
This is the highest level of security, requiring a user name and
password to access the wireless LAN. The user name and
password set up on the access point must match those set up
on the client. Each network session creates a unique,
one-time encryption code. If you choose this type of security,
you must also set up access control as described in "Setting
up Access Control" on page 16.
If you check the Require Windows user authentication check
box, clients will be required to enter a user name and
password every time they associate with the network. If you
leave this box unchecked, the system will authenticate clients
based on the access control list and the saved passwords on
the clients.
