Advanced Configuration
Telnet Configuration Settings
•
Telnet Interface Bitmask: Select the interface (Ethernet, Wireless, All Interfaces) from which you can manage
the AP-600 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).
•
Login Idle Timeout (seconds): Enter the number of seconds the system will wait for a login attempt. The AP-600
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-600 will terminate the session on timeout. The range is 1 to 36000 seconds; the default is
900 seconds.
Serial Configuration Settings
The serial port interface on the AP-600 is enabled at all times. See
CLI
for information on how to access the CLI interface via the serial port. You can configure and view following
parameters:
–
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.
–
Flow Control: Select either None (default) or Xon/Xoff (software controlled) data flow control.
NOTE
To avoid potential problems when communicating with the AP-600 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.
Filtering
The Access Point's Packet Filtering features help control the amount of traffic exchanged between the wired and
wireless networks. There are four sub-categories under the Filtering heading.
–
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 interfaces or interfaces that will implement the filter from the Ethernet Protocol Filtering drop-down
menu.
•
Ethernet: Packets are examined at the Ethernet interface
•
Wireless: Packets are examined at the Wireless interface
•
All Interfaces: Packets are examined at both interfaces
•
Disabled: The filter is not used
