Link Security Tab
The Link Security screen is used to define the authentication and encryption security
settings of the AI108.
The following parameters can be accessed and modified from the Link Security tab:
• MAC Address Authentication - To protect your wireless link against unauthorized
intruders, the AI108 allows only two unique MAC addresses to synchronize
radios and establish a wireless connection. This feature effectively restricts the
usage of the wireless link to only those with wireline access on either side of the
wireless bridge pair. This is accomplished by adding the MAC address of your
remote bridge unit to the MAC Address – Remote Bridge field in the
configuration screen of the local bridge, and vice versa. The MAC address is a
unique 48-bit hardware address, and listed on the product label located on the
bottom of the AI108 indoor unit (AI108-1-PoE). Note: If this parameter is not
set, you will not be able to establish a connection with the remote bridge.
