Network Parameters

Ethernet

Select the desired speed and transmission mode from the drop-down menu. Half-duplex means that only one side can
transmit at a time and full-duplex allows both sides to transmit. When set to auto-duplex, the AP negotiates with its
switch or hub to automatically select the highest throughput option supported by both sides.
For best results, Proxim recommends that you configure the Ethernet setting to match the speed and transmission
mode of the device the Access Point is connected to (such as a hub or switch). If in doubt, leave this setting at its
default, auto-speed-auto-duplex. Choose between:
• 10 Mbit/s - half duplex, full duplex, or auto duplex
• 100 Mbit/s - half duplex or full duplex
• auto speed - half duplex or auto duplex
NOTE: See Configure the Ethernet Interface

• Services
• Network Time Protocol (NTP)
• Static Port Mapping
NOTE: You cannot configure an AP-2500 over its wireless interfaces. For security reasons, you can only configure
the AP over its Ethernet port or its serial port.
Passwords
You can configure the following passwords:
• SNMP Read Password: The password for read access to the AP using SNMP. Enter a password in both the
Password field and the Confirm field. The default password is "public".
• SNMP Read/Write Password: The password for read and write access to the AP using SNMP. Enter a password
in both the Password field and the Confirm field. The default password is "public".
• Telnet (CLI) Password: The password for the CLI interface (via serial or Telnet). Enter a password in both the
Password field and the Confirm field. The default password is "public".
• HTTP (Web) Password: The password for the Web browser interface. Enter a password in both the Password
field and the Confirm field. The default password is "public".
NOTE: For security purposes Proxim recommends changing ALL PASSWORDS from the default "public"
immediately, to restrict access to your network devices to authorized personnel. If you lose or forget your
password settings, you can always perform the
IP Access Table
The IP Access Table limits management access over the Ethernet to the IP addresses or range of IP addresses
specified in the table. This feature applies to all management options (SNMP, HTTP, and CLI) except for CLI
management over the serial port.
Follow these steps to specify an authorized address range and enable this features:
1. Click Configure > Management > IP Access Table.
2. Click Add.
3. Enter the first IP address in the address range that will have access to the AP in the Start IP Address field.
4. Enter the last IP address in the address range in the End IP Address field.
NOTE: To specify a single IP address, enter the same address in both the Start IP Address and End IP Address
fields.
5. Click OK.
