User's Manual

USER GUIDE
These security features provide various options to prevent access to the wireless
network by unauthorized devices. In addition, the Access/One Network contains a
RADIUS client that can interface with a RADIUS network server for user-level
authentication (i.e. by providing a unique username and password). This is an important
extra level of security for customers that are concerned that device-level security is not
enough.
In addition, Access/One Network provides an additional level of system security that is
not present in other wireless networking solutions. When using an 802.11a wireless
Network Connect, the wireless link has AES encryption enabled by default. This
security does not normally exist, as standard wireless networking equipment does
nothing to secure the 10/100 Ethernet connection back to the network.
Q- Where does the RADIUS client reside?
A- There is a RADIUS client within each Access/One Network Wireless Module and the
Network Server.
Q- What authorization databases do you support?
A- The Access/One Network system supports the RADIUS authorization database.
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Q- Is your system SNMP-manageable? From what platforms?
A- Each Access/One Network Wireless Module and Network Server contains an SNMP
Agent that allows them to be managed by any Network Management Platform via
standard MIB variables and Strix’ private MIB extensions. An example of typical
Management Platform is HP OpenView.
Q- Describe the management GUI. What are the statistics that one may gather
from the system?
A- The Access/One Network can be configured and monitored via Manager/One™, the
system’s built-in web server interface, via a standard web browser. Access/One
Network can also be managed from a terminal or PC connected via Telnet using the
system’s Command Line Interface (CLI).
The main Manager/One screen provides a map (via auto-discovery) of all Network
Nodes within the Access/One Network. From this screen the IT Manager can define
settings such as security on a network-wide, group-level or individual Node basis. This
screen will also provide quick glance details of the Nodes such as health status. The IT
Manager can also click on any Node and drill-down for element manager-type
functionality, such as Node-level configuration and statistics.
