Step by Step Setup
Step 1. Interface Set-Up
In the network interface | configuration menu you can set the TCP/IP settings. Eth0 is pre-
configured as the WLAN port of your Access Controller, Ixp1 is the WAN port, and Ixp0 is the LAN
port. You can modify these settings according to your local network requirements. Make sure that IP
subnets do not overlap.
Figure 5 – Interface Configuration Settings
If DHCP client, PPPoE, or PPTP is selected as a dial-up protocol for the WAN
interface the WAN settings of this table will be overwritten by the values retrieved
from the Internet Provider.
Step 2. DNS Set-Up
In the network interface | DNS menu you can specify your local domain name server or enter the
DNS server provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Figure 6 – DNS Redirection
DNS is set automatically if provided by the ISP dynamically via DHCP, PPPoE or
PPTP.
Step 3. IP Address Management
For automatic IP assignments to client stations, set the DHCP settings in the network interface |
DHCP menu according to your TCP/IP configuration from step 1. Only use address ranges within the
corresponding IP subnet of the LAN interface. In addition you can switch on the Universal Address
Translation function in the system | access | UAT menu. With UAT users do not need to change their
local TCP/IP settings to log on to the Access Controller. The Access Controller will translate fixed IP
numbers used in private networks transparently for the user.
Please refer to Chapter 3 – Universal Address Translation for further details to
avoid IP conflicts.
Step 4. RADIUS Set-Up
In the network interface | RADIUS settings menu you can first define the local settings of the
integrated RADIUS client of the Access Controller. For example you can modify timeouts and the
NAS server ID (name of the RADIUS client):
