Using The Virtual Access Console - Black Box LWN602WA Installation Manual

7.2 Using the Virtual Access Console

An LWN602WA connected directly to the network is called a portal. You can also place an LWN602WA within radio range of a
portal so that it forms a wireless link through the portal to the wired network. If the LWN602WA forms a CAPWAP connection
with the Black Box redirection server and its serial number has been entered in an ACL, the redirection server automatically
redirects the CAPWAP connection to the corresponding SmartPath EMS Online VHM (virtual SmartPath EMS). The redirection
server sends the LWN602WA the SmartPath EMS domain name of the IP address as its new CAPWAP server and the name of the
appropriate VHM. If the LWN602WA is currently using HTTP, the redirection server includes the configuration needed for the
LWN602WA to continue using it. Similarly, if the LWN602WA is configured to access the public network through an HTTP proxy
server, the redirection server saves the relevant settings on the LWN602WA so it will continue using the HTTP proxy server when
connecting to SmartPath EMS.
If the redirection server does not have the LWN602WA serial number, the ACL ignores the CAPWAP connection attempts, and
the LWN602WA repeats the connection cycle shown in Figure 15.
