Proxim AP-4000 Benutzerhandbuch

Prerequisites

Before installing an AP-4000/4000M/4900M, you need to gather certain network information. The following table 
identifies the information you need.

Network Name (SSID of the 
wireless cards)

You must assign the Access Point a Network Name before wireless users can 
communicate with it. The clients also need the same Network Name. This is not the 
same as the System Name, which applies only to the Access Point. The network 
administrator typically provides the Network Name.

AP’s IP Address

If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, then you need to assign the 
Access Point an IP address that is valid on your network.

HTTP Password

Each Access Point requires a read/write password to access the web interface. The 
default password is “public”.

CLI Password

Each Access Point requires a read/write password to access the CLI interface. The 
default password is “public”.

SNMP Read Password

Each Access Point requires a password to allow get requests from an SNMP 
manager. The default password is “public”.

SNMP Read-Write Password

Each Access Point requires a password to allow get and set requests from an SNMP 
manager. The default password is “public”.

SNMPv3 Authentication 
Password

If Secure Management is enabled, each Access Point requires a password for sending 
authenticated SNMPv3 messages. The default password is “public”. The default 
SNMPv3 username is administrator, with SHA authentication, and DES privacy 
protocol.

SNMPv3 Privacy Password

If Secure Management is enabled, each Access Point requires a password when 
sending encrypted SNMPv3 data. The default password is “public”.

Security Settings

You need to determine what security features you will enable on the Access Point.

Authentication Method

A primary authentication server may be configured; a backup authentication server is 
optional. The network administrator typically provides this information.

Authentication Server Shared 
Secret

This is a password shared between the Access Point and the RADIUS authentication 
server (so both passwords must be the same), and is typically provided by the network 
administrator.

Authentication Server 
Authentication Port

This is a port number (default is 1812) and is typically provided by the network 
administrator.

Client IP Address Pool 
Allocation Scheme

The Access Point can automatically provide IP addresses to clients as they sign on. 
The network administrator typically provides the IP Pool range.

DNS Server IP Address

The network administrator typically provides this IP Address.

Gateway IP Address and 
Subnet Mask

The gateway IP address and subnet mask of the network environment where the 
Access Point is deployed.
