MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

The initial query is always done after the client station has been idle for 60 seconds. If there is no
answer to this query, the settings for Interval and Retries are used to control additional retries.
Polling interval
Specify how long to wait between polls.
Consecutive retries
Specify how many consecutive polls to which a client station can fail to reply before it is
disconnected.
User agent filtering
Enable this option to filter and stop redirection of HTTP login requests coming from unauthorized
client applications. Filtering occurs via the user-agent string that web-based applications use to
identify themselves to their peers.
Blocked agents
This is the list of user-agent strings that the controller will use to block client applications. If an
applications user-agent string appears in this list, it will be blocked.
When the list is empty, all valid HTTP login requests are redirected.
For example, add the word Torrent to the list to stop HTTP login requests coming from the
BitTorrent 6.3 client application.

Zero configuration
Support applications that use
• HTTP/HTTPS proxy: Enable this option to allow the controller to support client stations that
use application software (such as a web browser) configured to use a proxy server for
HTTP and HTTPS, without reconfiguration of the application software.
When this feature is enabled, ensure that client stations:
◦ Do not use a proxy server on ports 21, 23, 25, 110, 443, 8080, or 8090. To support
ports 8080 and 8090, change the port settings under Controller >> Public access >
Web server > Ports.
◦ Use the same proxy server address and port number for both HTTP and HTTPS.
◦ Restrict proxy support to users authenticated via HTML: Enable this option to restrict
proxy support to users who logged in via the public access login page.
• SMTP authentication: When the controller redirects user SMTP traffic, the server to which
the traffic is redirected may need to authenticate the controller. Enable this option to allow
the controller to supply a username and password to the server. You can define the
username and password in the RADIUS account for the controller or for the user.
Location configuration
These values are returned to IPass clients, and are also sent in RADIUS Authentication Access
Requests and Accounting Requests for all users authenticated by this controller.
Location ID
Specify the WISPr location ID assigned to the controller.
Location name
Specify the WISPr location name assigned to the controller.
