Using Device Manager

52
Device Manager contains management pages that you use to change the access
point settings, upgrade firmware, monitor, and configure wireless devices on the
network. The access point radio interfaces are disabled by default. As you work
with the management pages, there are error messages that appear when you have
missed a configuration parameter based on what you have already set. Once you
have set the parameter correctly you can continue.
These are an example of the tasks that can be done by using Device Manager.
• Configure a VLAN.
• Assign the SSID and Broadcast SSID.
• Determine VLAN-to-SSID mappings.
• Assign maximum reach.
• Determine maximum throughput.
• Configure Light Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP), including
LEAP/RADIUS server.
• Define local user profiles for local LEAP server.
• Assign Encryption modes.
• Use the Wireless MAC filter.
• Detect MACs for filter (capture network discovered MAC addresses and
export to MAC filter list).
The Easy Setup page where you can configure an access point's basic parameters
quickly.
Avoid using both CLI and Stratix 5100 WAP Device manager (web browser) to
TIP
concurrently configure the wireless device. If you configure the wireless device
by using CLI, the web browser interface can display an inaccurate
interpretation of the configuration. However, the inaccuracy does not
necessarily mean that the wireless device is misconfigured.
