• Firewall - In between the WAN and Wireless interfaces, a Firewall protects against a
number of known attacks.

1.3.7 Management Access Options

Managing the access point includes viewing network statistics and setting configuration options.
Statistics track the network activity of associated MUs and data transfers on the AP interfaces.
The access point requires one of the following connection methods to perform a custom installation
and manage the network:
• Secure Java-Based WEB UI - (use Sun Microsystems' JRE 1.5 or higher available from Sun's
Web site and be sure to disable Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine if installed)
• Command Line Interface (CLI) via Serial, Telnet and SSH
• Config file - Human-readable; Importable/Exportable via FTP and TFTP
• MIB (Management Information Base) accessing the access point SNMP function using a
MIB Browser. The AP-5131 or AP-5181 downloads site contains the following 2 MIB files:
• Symbol-CC-WS2000-MIB-2.0 (standard Symbol MIB file)
• Symbol-AP-5131-MIB (AP-5131/AP-5181 MIB file)
Make configuration changes to access point's individually. Optionally, use the access point import/
export configuration function to download access point's settings to other access points.

1.3.8 AP-51xx MAC Address Assignment

For both an AP-5131 and AP-5181 model access point, MAC address assignments are as follows:
• WAN - The access point MAC address can be found underneath the access point chassis.
• LAN1 - WAN MAC address + 1.
• LAN2 - A virtual LAN that is not mapped to the LAN Ethernet port. This address is the lowest
of the two radio MAC addresses.
• Radio1 (802.11bg) - Random address located on the Web UI, CLI and SNMP interfaces.
• Radio2 (802.11a) - Random address located on the Web UI, CLI and SNMP interfaces.
The access point's BSS (virtual AP) MAC addresses are calculated as follows:
• BSS1 - The same as the corresponding base radio's MAC address.
