Enabling or Disabling Guest Access
You can provide controlled guest access over a secure internal LAN on
the AT-WA7400 Wireless Access Point.
Configuring an
Internal LAN and
a Guest Network
A local area network (LAN) is a communications network covering a
limited area, for example, one floor of a building. A LAN connects multiple
computers and other network devices like storage and printers.
Ethernet is the most common technology implementing a LAN. Wi-Fi
(IEEE) is another very popular LAN technology.
The AT-WA7400 Management Software allows you to configure two
different LANs on the same access point: one for a secure internal LAN
and another for a public guest network with no security and little or no
access to internal resources. To configure these networks, you need to
provide both wireless and Ethernet (wired) settings.
Information on how to configure the Ethernet (wired) settings is provided in
the sections below.
Enabling or
Disabling Guest
Access
The AT-WA7400 Management Software is shipped with the guest access
feature disabled by default.
To provide guest access on your access point, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the main menu, select Advanced > Ethernet (Wired) Settings.
The Ethernet (Wired) Settings page is shown in Figure 30 on page 88.
2. For the Guest Access setting, choose one of the following:
 Click Enabled to enable guest access.
 Click Disabled to disable guest access.
3. Click Update to save your changes.
Enabling or
Disabling Virtual
Wireless
Networks on the
Access Point
If you want to configure the internal network as a VLAN (whether or not
you have a guest network configured), you must enable virtual wireless
networks on the AT-WA7400 Wireless Access Point.
To enable or disable virtual wireless networks on the access point,
perform the following procedure:
1. From the main menu, select Advanced > Ethernet (Wired) Settings.
The Ethernet (Wired) Settings page is shown in Figure 30 on page 88.
