    Cedar 860AG Enterprise Dual-Radio Access Point 1 Introduction This manual contains information on configuring and managing the Intelicis Enterprise Dual-Radio Access Point – Cedar860 product family. It is organized into the following chapters: • Introduction: Overview of the wireless network and access point deployment •...
  • Page 8: Wireless Distribution System (Wds)

    Cedar 860AG Enterprise Dual-Radio Access Point Figure 1.1 Wireless Networks Wireless Distribution System (WDS) With the inherent difficulties involved in physically connecting access points, a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) provides an excellent alternative by interconnecting the access points wirelessly. As illustrated in Figure 1.2, Access Point A has no cable access and can not be connected with a switch or router.
  • Page 9: Access Point Deployment

    Cedar 860AG Enterprise Dual-Radio Access Point Figure 1.2 Wireless Distribution Systems (WDS) Access Point Deployment The deployment of access point depends greatly on the building structure, the existing wiring and the type of service to be deployed. For example, RF signals transmit much easier through a wood-frame building than through a concrete one.
  • Page 10: Application Deployment

    Cedar 860AG Enterprise Dual-Radio Access Point Application Deployment Applications can be deployed easily after a network infrastructure is in place. Figure 1.3 illustrates a possible scenario: • High Speed Internet Access is available for all wireless clients. • Voice over IP applications can be used for calling over the Internet.

  • Page 29: Dhcp

    Cedar 860AG Enterprise Dual-Radio Access Point Figure 5.1 VLANs 5.1.2 DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to computers on a network. Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP addresses. This means a new computer can be added to a network without the hassle of manually assigning it a unique IP address.
  • Page 30 Cedar 860AG Enterprise Dual-Radio Access Point Mode: DHCP: If DHCP is chosen, a dynamic IP address is assigned to AP by the DHCP Server. In addition, the subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server addresses are also assigned. Because DHCP assigns the IP address dynamically, different IP addresses may be assigned to the AP after each reboot.
  • Page 31: Vlan

    VLAN support, click tagged and enter a VID value between 0 and 4095. Before enabling VLAN support, the VLAN setting needs to be pre-configured on a VLAN-aware switch, such as the Intelicis Cypress 1024. Primary or Secondary DNS Optionally enter the primary or secondary Domain Name Server (DNS) IP address.
  • Page 32 Cedar 860AG Enterprise Dual-Radio Access Point Click the VLAN name to display detailed VLAN information. The 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to prevent interfaces from looping. • On: STP is enabled. If a loop is detected, one of the connections will be disconnected.

    Cedar 860AG Enterprise Dual-Radio Access Point Figure 6.1 802.1x authentication sequence 1. The supplicant sends an authentication request containing identification and connection information to the authenticator. 2. The authenticator performs an initial negotiation with the supplicant to establish connection information (username, password, etc). The authenticator then forwards the user information in an authentication request to the RADIUS Server.
  • Page 38: Web Interface

    Cedar 860AG Enterprise Dual-Radio Access Point MAC authentication provides an alternative solution. It controls wireless access to the network by storing a list of MAC addresses on a local or RADIUS server. This list of MAC addresses identifies the authorized stations that may access the wireless network.
