Basic Configuration

Creating a User Account in the Built-In Database

In order for a user to log in, the 700wl Series system must be able to authenticate the user through some

authentication service. The simplest form of authentication service is the built-in database included in the

700wl Series system Rights Manager. In this step, you add a user to the built-in database so you can logon

to your network as that user through the 700wl Series system.

Step 1. Point your browser to the IP address or hostname of your Access Control Server or Integrated

Access Manager, and log on to the Administrative Console.

EFRQStep 2. From the initial page, click on the PG

FRQ icon ( ) to go to the Rights Manager.

Step 3. The Rights Setup page appears.

Step 4. Click the Identity Profiles tab at the top of the page.

The Identity Profiles page appears, showing a list of the currently-defined Identity Profiles.

Step 5. Click the Users link in the left panel of the page.

The Users page appears, with an empty Users list.

Step 6. Click the New User … button.

The New User page appears.

Step 7. Enter the following information:

•

Name: A descriptive name, such as “Demonstration User.” This is not the logon name.

•

Username/MAC Address: “demouser” (or any username you like). This is the logon name.

Do not check the MAC Address User check box.

•

Password: “password” (or any password you like)

Confirm Password: must be the same as that entered into the first password field.

Step 8. Click Save.

User Authentication Through the Default Logon Page

In this step, you connect your Windows PC to an Access Controller or Integrated Access Manager

downlink port and log onto your network using the username and password you added to the built-in

database. If this is successful, you should be able to access the Internet and other resources on your

network as normal.

Note: If you are using the same Windows PC as a client that you have been using for configuration,

and the PC‘s network interface is configured to use a static IP address, you must change its properties

so that it will obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP.

Step 1. Plug the Ethernet cable from your PC into one of Access Controller 720wl (or Integrated Access

Manager 760wl) downlink ports.

If you are using the same PC as both a client and a management station, you must release the

existing IP configuration (in Windows) from the network interface of the PC as follows:

From the Windows Start menu, click Run… then enter the command

ipconfig /release

Step 2. Power on the PC to obtain a new IP configuration from DHCP through the Access Controller

720wl, or do the following:
