 Chapter 5 Device Network Settings

Vantage CNM User’s Guide

Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address 
is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 
00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC addresses of the devices to configure this 
screen. To change your device’s MAC filter settings, select a device and then click Device 
Operation > Device Configuration > Network > Wireless Card > MAC Filter. The screen 
appears as shown.

Idle Timeout 

(Seconds)

The Vantage CNM automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wireless 

network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to send the username 

and password again before it can use the wireless network again. Some wireless 

clients may prompt users for a username and password; other clients may use 

saved login credentials. In either case, there is usually a short delay while the 

wireless client logs in to the wireless network again.
This value is usually smaller when the wireless network is keeping track of how 

much time each wireless station is connected to the wireless network (for example, 

using an authentication server). If the wireless network is not keeping track of this 

information, you can usually set this value higher to reduce the number of delays 

caused by logging in again.

Authentication 

Databases 

Click Local User to go to the Local User Database screen where you can view 

and/or edit the list of users and passwords. Click RADIUS to go to the RADIUS 

screen where you can configure the Vantage CNM to check an external RADIUS 

server.

Table 39   Wireless Card: No Access 802.1x + Static WEP  

Security

Select No Access 802.1x + Static WEP from the drop-down list.

WEP 

Encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent unauthorized 

wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network. 

Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.  

Key 1 to Key 4 If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 characters 

(ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each 

key.

If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 characters 

(ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each 

key.
There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by 

unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the same 

on the access points as they are on the wireless stations.

Table 40   Wireless Card: No Access 802.1x + No WEP  

Security

Select No Access 802.1x + No WEP from the drop-down list to deny all wireless 

stations access to your wired network and block all wireless stations from 

communicating with the Vantage CNM.
