Chapter 3: Device Configuration
The Network Operator can choose to keep the provided (derived IP address) or assign a fixed IP
address and subnet mask. It is up to the Network Operator to ensure that the assigned address is
routable on the core network (if core network access is needed) and that it does not conflict with other
addresses in use. This is analogous to and carries the same caveats as plugging an Ethernet card into a
LAN and manually assigning an address to the card.

Security Settings Section (Authentication)

There are three security authentication settings available to the MOTOMESH MWR device: Force
Authorized, Force Unauthorized, and Local. Security authentication modes are selected from within
the Security Settings section of the MOTOMESH Device Administration Configuration page in the
Authorization Control field
The table below describes each field within the Security Settings section.

Field Name
Authorization
To allow for various levels of security and authentication control, there are
Control three security authentication settings available to the MOTOMESH MWR
device: Force Authorized, Force Unauthorized, and Local.
Force Authorized:
In Force Authorized mode, there are effectively no security and
authentication controls, resulting in open authentication for all network
devices. There will be no security measures applied to links between
devices that are currently set to Force Authorized. Hardware
authentication via the HAS is still performed but password authentication
is not carried out at the user level and there is no integrity check carried out
for all packets transferred between any source and destination node
Force Unauthorized:
In Force Unauthorized mode, all devices seeking authorization for network
access will be denied, effectively locking down the network. The Force
Unauthorized setting will not allow any network device to establish
communication with any other node that may attempt to communicate with
the node set to Force Unauthorized.
Local:
In Local mode, the User ID and password for all devices requesting
network access must be validated against the security information
configured at the IAP. If the password is not valid, access will be denied. If
the password is valid, the device will be authorized for network access and
a secure connection will be maintained for the duration of the association
with the IAP. Integrity checking will be carried out on all the packets
flowing between the source and destination node.
Local ID
The specified Local ID is used for communication authentication with an
Intelligent Access Point device (IAP).
Local The password used for authentication control between a local subscriber
Password device and an IAP device.
