Buffalo WLM-L11G User Manual page 13

• A setup from a wired LAN is forbidden.
This will disable access to the configuration
screens from a wired LAN PC.
• A setup over an AP is forbidden. This
keeps anyone who is actually connected to
a DIFFERENT AP from configuring the
WLM-L11G.
• A request from a WLAN is ignored.
Changes to the parameters (DHCP, DNS,
etc.) are locked out. If you make a mistake
here and "lock yourself out," the WLM-
L11G can be returned to the factory
default settings (ALL of them!) by holding
down the INIT button on the back of the
unit for 3 seconds.
8.7.2 Filter Information
Displays the current settings. To change a
setting, check the box on the item to be
changed and click "delete the checked rules."
The setting can be reset to the default by
clicking "Initialize Rule."
8.8 Security
Security features include Authentication,
Privacy and Access Authorization.
8.8.1 Authentication 802.11b
Configure EAP authentication process.
Configure EAP in the Security/802.11b screen.
■ Note: For MAC Access Restriction, do not
check the "Enable" box until you have set up
Authorized MAC addresses (Section 9.8.4.3).
8.8.2 Privacy, WEP Encryption Code
Set the encryption method used in wireless
communications for the protection of your
data. It is necessary that the WEP key match
between two parties for secure communica-
tions. If multiple keys are used, the order
must match between communicating devices.
Examples of WEP key input are:
• 5 digits of ASCII characters. They are case
sensitive and "_" is allowed, i.e. Skey5.
• 10 digits of hexadecimal numbers, i.e.
a3d58b62fe.
• If WEP is not used, leave the box blank or
input all 0s, which is equivalent to no-WEP.
8.8.3 Access Authorization, RADIUS
Set up RADIUS parameters. When a client
requests communication with the WLM-L11G
access point, the WLM-L11G reports its own
MAC address to the RADIUS server and asks
for communication approval to the client.
Once the client is recognized by the RADIUS,
the RADIUS issues a key to the AP as well as
the client for initiation of communications.
Server Name=The name of the RADIUS
server or the IP address.
Port Number=The port number to be used
at the RADIUS upon approval. Some systems
use 1645 as the default port number.
Shared Secret=The secret key to be used
between the WLM-L11G and the client. It is
the same key used between the RADIUS
server and the AP for communication. Use
numeral characters between 1~255.
