Overview
Two products make up the ProCurve 700wl Series:
•
ProCurve Access Control Server 745wl
•
ProCurve XL Access Controller Module
The physical installation of the Access Control Server 745wl is described fully in Chapter 2, "Hardware
Installation". The hardware installation is always performed first, before the network installation. The XL
Access Controller Module is installed in the 5300xl switches, and, therefore, its installation is described in
the ProCurve Series 5300xl Switches Installation and Getting Started Guide.
Centralized Administration of the 700wl Series system
Wireless network clients physically connect through Access Controller Modules, but authentication and
rights administration for these clients is handled centrally from the Access Control Server. In addition, all
configuration of the Access Controller Modules connected to the system is handled by the Administrative
Console located in the Access Control Server. Once you have installed an Access Controller Module onto
your network, you should not need to perform any administration functions directly on the Access
Controller Module.
From the centralized Administrative Console on your Access Control Server you can perform the
following configuration functions:
•
Configure the 700wl Series system setup, including bridging, DHCP Network for NAT Clients,
Forwarding of IP Address broadcasts, setting up HTTP proxies, configuring SNMP settings, and
setting the system date & time
•
Update the 700wl Series system software or return to a previous version
•
Set up a Wireless Data Privacy policy for clients using VPN protocols
•
Set up Authentication Policies for how users authenticate themselves to the system
•
Set up Access Policies to control what users can do over the network
