Section 2 - Getting Started
Section 2 - Getting Started
The D-Link DWL-x600AP unied access point (UAP) provides continuous, high-speed access between wireless
devices and Ethernet devices. It is an advanced, standards-based solution for wireless networking in businesses of
any size. The UAP enables wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while providing state-of-the-art wireless
networking features.
The UAP can operate in two modes: Standalone Mode or Managed Mode. In Standalone Mode, the UAP acts
as an individual access point in the network, and you manage it by using the Administrator Web User Interface
(UI), command-line interface (CLI), or SNMP. In Managed Mode, the UAP is part of the D-Link Unied Wired and
Wireless System, and you manage it by using the D-Link Unied Wireless Switch. If an AP is in Managed Mode, the
Administrator Web UI, Telnet, SSH, and SNMP services are disabled.
This document describes how to perform the setup, management, and maintenance of the UAP in Standalone Mode.
For information about conguring the AP in Managed Mode by using the D-Link Unied Wireless Switch, see the User
Manual for the switch.
Before you power on a new UAP, review the following sections to check required hardware and software components,
client congurations, and compatibility issues. Make sure you have everything you need for a successful launch and
test of your new or extended wireless network.
The DWL-6600AP and DWL-8600AP are dual-radio access points and support the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g,
and 802.11n modes. The DWL-2600AP and DWL-3600AP are single-radio access points and support the IEEE
802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and 802.11n (2.4 GHz) modes. The DWL-3610AP is a single-radio access point that supports

To manage the UAP by using the Web interface or by using the CLI through Telnet or SSH, the AP needs an IP
address. If you use VLANs or IEEE 802.1X Authentication (port security) on your network, you might need to congure
additional settings on the AP before it can connect to the network.
Note: The WLAN AP is not designed to function as a gateway to the Internet. To connect your
WLAN to other LANs or the Internet, you need a gateway device.
Administrators Computer Requirements
The following table describes the minimum requirements for the administrator’s computer for conguration and
administration of the UAP through a Web-based user interface (UI).
Required Software or Component Description
Serial or Ethernet Connection to the
Access Point
The computer used to congure the rst access point must be connected
to the access point by a serial cable or an Ethernet cable.
Unied Access Point Administrator’s Guide
Unied Access Point Administrator’s Guide
Page 13
October 2017
Section 2 - Getting Started
Required Component Description
Client Security Settings Security should be disabled on the client used to do initial conguration of
the access point.
If the Security mode on the access point is set to anything other than plain
text, wireless clients will need to set a prole to the authentication mode
used by the access point and provide a valid username and password,
certicate, or similar user identity proof. Security modes are Static WEP,
IEEE 802.1X, WPA with RADIUS server, and WPA-PSK.
For information about conguring security on the access point, see “Virtual
Access Point Settings” on page 50.
Table 3 - Requirements for Wireless Clients
Dynamic and Static IP Addressing on the AP
When you power on the access point, the built-in DHCP client searches for a DHCP server on the network in order
to obtain an IP Address and other network information. If the AP does not nd a DHCP server on the network, the AP
continues to use its default Static IP Address (10.90.90.91) until you re-assign it a new static IP address (and specify a
static IP addressing policy) or until the AP successfully receives network information from a DHCP server.
To change the connection type and assign a static IP address by using the CLI, see “Conguring the Ethernet
Settings” on page 18 or, by using the Web UI, see “Ethernet Settings” on page 36.
Caution! If you do not have a DHCP server on your internal network, and do not plan to use one,
the rst thing you must do after powering on the access point is change the connection type from
DHCP to static IP. You can either assign a new static IP address to the AP or continue using the
default address. We recommend assigning a new static IP address so that if you bring up another
WLAN AP on the same network, the IP address for each AP will be unique.
Recovering an IP Address
If you experience trouble communicating with the access point, you can recover a static IP address by resetting the AP
conguration to the factory defaults (see “Resetting the Factory Default Conguration” on page 86), or you can get
a dynamically assigned address by connecting the AP to a network that has a DHCP server.
Discovering a Dynamically Assigned IP Address
If you have access to the DHCP server on your network and know the MAC address of your AP, you can view the new
IP address associated with the MAC address of the AP.
If you do not have access to the DHCP server that assigned the IP address to the AP or do not know the MAC address
of the AP, you might need to use the CLI to nd out what the new IP address is. For information about how to discover
a dynamically assigned IP address, see “Using the CLI to View the IP Address” on page 17.
Installing the UAP
To access the Administration Web UI, you enter the IP address of the AP into a Web browser. You can use the default
IP address of the AP (10.90.90.91) to log on to the AP and assign a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP server
on you network to assign network information to the AP. The DHCP client on the AP is enabled by default.
To install the UAP, use the following steps:
1.) Connect the AP to an administrative PC by using a LAN connection or a direct-cable connection.

Figure 2 - Web UI Login Prompt
After you log in, the Basic Settings page for UAP administration is displayed, as the following gure shows.
Figure 3 - Provide Basic Settings
5.) Verify the settings on the Basic Settings page.
•) Review access point description and provide a new administrator password for the access point if you do not
want to use the default password, which is admin.
•) Click the Apply button to activate the wireless network with these new settings.
Note: The changes you make are not saved or applied until you click Apply. Changing some
access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens,
wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point
settings when WLAN trafc is low.
For information about the elds and conguration options on the Basic Settings page, see “Basic Settings” on
page 16.
6.) If you do not have a DHCP server on the management network and do not plan to use one, you must change
the Connection Type from DHCP to Static IP.
You can either assign a new Static IP address to the AP or continue using the default address. We recommend
assigning a new Static IP address so that if you bring up another UAP on the same network, the IP address
for each AP will be unique. To change the connection type and assign a static IP address, see “Conguring the
Ethernet Settings” on page 18 (CLI) or “Ethernet Settings” on page 36 (Web).
7.) If your network uses VLANs, you might need to congure the management VLAN ID or untagged VLAN ID on
the UAP in order for it to work with your network.
For information about how to congure VLAN information, see “Conguring the Ethernet Settings” on page 18
(CLI) or “Ethernet Settings” on page 36 (Web).

Section 2 - Getting Started
8.) If your network uses IEEE 802.1X port security for network access control, you must congure the 802.1X
supplicant information on the AP.
For information about how to congure the 802.1X user name and password, see “Conguring IEEE 802.1X
Authentication” on page 19.

Connecting to the AP Web Interface by Using the IPv6 Address
To connect to the AP by using the IPv6 global address or IPv6 link local address, you must enter the AP address into
your browser in a special format.
Note: The following instructions and examples work with Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and
might not work with other browsers. For DWL-3610AP and DWL-6610B1AP, it will work with
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (IE8).
To connect to an IPv6 global address, add square brackets around the IPv6 address. For example, if the AP
global IPv6 address is 2520::230:abff:fe00:2420, type the following address into the IE7 address eld: http://
[2520::230:abff:fe00:2420].
To connect to the iPv6 link local address, replace the colons (:) with hyphens (-), add the interface number preceded
with an “s,” then add “.ipv6-literal.net.” For example, if the AP link local address is fe80::230:abff:fe00:2420, and the
Windows interface is dened as “%6,” type the following address into the IE7 address eld: http://fe80--230-abff-fe00-
2420s6.ipv6-literal.net.
Using the CLI to View the IP Address
The DHCP client on the UAP is enabled by default. If you connect the UAP to a network with a DHCP server, the
AP automatically acquires an IP address. To manage the UAP by using the Administrator UI, you must enter the IP
address of the access point into a Web browser.
If a DHCP server on your network assigns an IP address to the UAP, and you do not know the IP address, use the
following steps to view the IP address of the UAP:
1.) Using a null-modem cable, connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a workstation to the console (serial) port.
If you attached a PC, Apple, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program, such as HyperTerminal or
TeraTerm.
2.) Congure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:
•) Baud rate: 115200 bps
•) Data bits: 8
•) Parity: none
•) Stop bit: 1
•) Flow control: none
3.) Press the return key, and a login prompt should appear.
The login name is admin. The default password is admin. After a successful login, the screen shows the

get management.
Information similar to the following prints to the screen.
Figure 4 - Command Line Interface (CLI) Connection
Conguring the Ethernet Settings
The default Ethernet settings, which include DHCP and VLAN information, might not work for all networks.
By default, the DHCP client on the UAP automatically broadcasts requests for network information. If you want to
use a static IP address, you must disable the DHCP client and manually congure the IP address and other network
information.
The management VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. This VLAN is also the default untagged VLAN. If you already have
a management VLAN congured on your network with a different VLAN ID, you must change the VLAN ID of the
management VLAN on the access point.
For information about using the Web interface to congure the Ethernet settings, see “Ethernet Settings” on page
36. You can also use the CLI to congure the Ethernet settings, which the following section describes.

Verifying the Installation
Make sure the access point is connected to the LAN and associate some wireless clients with the network. Once you
have tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security and ne-tune the AP by modifying
advanced conguration features.
1.) Connect the access point to the LAN.
•) If you congured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network hub, then your
access point is already connected to the LAN. The next step is to test some wireless clients.
•) If you congured the access point by using a direct cable connection from your computer to the access point,
do the following procedures:
•) Disconnect the cable from the computer and the access point.
•) Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN.
•) Connect your computer to the LAN by using an Ethernet cable or a wireless card.
2.) Test LAN connectivity with wireless clients.
Test the UAP by trying to detect it and associate with it from some wireless client devices. For information about
requirements for these clients, see “Wireless Client Requirements” on page 12.
3.) Secure and congure the access point by using advanced features.
Once the wireless network is up and you can connect to the AP with some wireless clients, you can add in layers
of security, create multiple virtual access points (VAPs), and congure performance settings.
Note: The WLAN AP is not designed for multiple, simultaneous conguration changes. If more
than one administrator is logged onto the Administration Web pages and making changes to the
conguration, there is no guarantee that all conguration changes specied by multiple users will
be applied.
By default, no security is in place on the access point, so any wireless client can associate with it and access
Unied Access Point Administrator’s Guide
Unied Access Point Administrator’s Guide

Section 2 - Getting Started
your LAN. An important next step is to congure security, as described in “Virtual Access Point Settings” on page
50.
Conguring Security on the Wireless Access Point
You congure secure wireless client access by conguring security for each virtual access point (VAP) that you
enable. You can congure up to 16 VAPs per radio that simulate multiple APs in one physical access point. By default,
only one VAP is enabled. For each VAP, you can congure a unique security mode to control wireless client access.
Each radio has 16 VAPs, with VAP IDs from 0-15. By default, only VAP 0 on each radio is enabled. VAP0 has the
following default settings:
•) VLAN ID: 1
•) Broadcast SSID: Enabled
•) SSID: dlink1
•) Security: None
•) MAC Authentication Type: None
•) Redirect Mode: None
All other VAPs are disabled by default. The default SSID for VAPs 1–15 is ”dlinkx” where x is the VAP ID.
To prevent unauthorized access to the UAP, we recommend that you select and congure a security option other than
None for the default VAP and for each VAP that you enable.
For information about how to congure the security settings on each VAP, see “Virtual Access Point Settings” on page
50.

•) Enable and congure Persistent logging to write system event logs to non-volatile memory so that the events
are not erased when the system reboots.
•) Set a Severity Level to determine what category of log messages are displayed.
•) Set Depth to determine how many log messages are displayed in the Event log.
•) Enable a remote log relay host to capture all system events and errors in a Kernel Log.
Note: The AP acquires its date and time information using the network time protocol (NTP). This
data is reported in UTC format (also known as Greenwich Mean Time). You need to convert the
reported time to your local time.
Conguring Persistent Logging Options
If the system unexpectedly reboots, log messages can be useful to diagnose the cause. However, log messages are
erased when the system reboots unless you enable persistent logging.
Caution! Enabling persistent logging can wear out the ash (non-volatile) memory and degrade
network performance. You should only enable persistent logging to debug a problem. Make sure
you disable persistent logging after you nish debugging the problem.
To congure persistent logging on the Events page, set the persistence, severity, and depth options as described in

Field Description
Mode The Mode denes the Physical Layer (PHY) standard the radio uses.
Note: The modes available depend on the country code setting and the radio selected.
Select one of the following modes for radio 1:
•) IEEE 802.11a is a PHY standard that species operating in the 5 GHz U-NII band
using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). It supports data rates
ranging from 6 to 54 Mbps.
•) IEEE 802.11a/n operates in the 5 GHz ISM band and includes support for both
802.11a and 802.11n devices. IEEE 802.11n is an extension of the 802.11 standard
that includes multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. IEEE 802.11n
supports data ranges of up to 248 Mbps and nearly twice the indoor range of 802.11
b, 802.11g, and 802.11a.
•) 5 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices
that operate in the 5 GHz frequency that do not need to support 802.11a devices.
IEEE 802.11n can achieve a higher throughput when it does not need to be
compatible with legacy devices (802.11a).
Select one of the following modes for radio 2:
•) IEEE 802.11b/g operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. IEEE 802.11b is an enhancement
of the initial 802.11 PHY to include 5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps data rates. It uses direct
sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) or frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
as well as complementary code keying (CCK) to provide the higher data rates. It
supports data rates ranging from 1 to 11 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g is a higher speed
extension (up to 54 Mbps) to the 802.11b PHY. It uses orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM). It supports data rates ranging from 1 to 54 Mbps.
•) IEEE 802.11b/g/n operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and includes support for 802.11b,
802.11g, and 802.11n devices.
•) 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n is the recommended mode for networks with 802.11n devices
that operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency that do not need to support 802.11b/g
devices. IEEE 802.11n can achieve a higher throughput when it does not need to be
compatible with legacy devices (802.11b/g).
•) IEEE 802.11a/n/ac: All the 802.11a, 802.11n and 802.11ac clients operating in the 5
GHz frequency can connect to the AP.
•) IEEE 802.11n/ac: 802.11n clients and 802.11ac clients operating in the 5-GHz
frequency can connect to the AP.
Channel Select the Channel.
The range of available channels is determined by the mode of the radio interface and the
country code setting. If you select Auto for the channel setting, the AP scans available
channels and selects a channel where no trafc is detected.
The Channel denes the portion of the radio spectrum the radio uses for transmitting and
receiving. Each mode offers a number of channels, depending on how the spectrum is
licensed by national and transnational authorities such as the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) or the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R).
When automatic channel assignment is enabled on the Channel Management page for
Clustering, the channel policy for the radio is automatically set to static mode, and the Auto
option is not available for the Channel eld. This allows the automatic channel feature to set
the channels for the radios in the cluster.
Station Isolation To enable Station Isolation, select the check box directly beside it.
When Station Isolation is disabled, wireless clients can communicate with one another
normally by sending trafc through the AP.
When Station Isolation is enabled, the AP blocks communication between wireless clients
on the same radio and VAP. The AP still allows data trafc between its wireless clients and
wired devices on the network, across a WDS link, and with other wireless clients associated
with a different VAP, but not among wireless clients associated with the same VAP.

information. The DWS-4000 Series switch does not communicate with the AE.
AeroScout tags operate only in 802.11b/g mode. Therefore, network administrators who use the AeroScout tags must
congure at least one radio on APs that are expected to detect tags in either 802.11b/g or 802.11b/g/n mode. The
radios congured in 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n mode cannot detect AeroScout tags.
Note: The following notes apply to AeroScout product and protocol support:
•) D-Link does not sell AeroScout products. Contact AeroScout for AeroScout hardware,
software or deployment information.
•) The AE protocol does not support any authentication or encryption between the AE server
and the access point.
•) The AE protocol requires radios to operate in promiscuous mode. This means that the AP
receives and processes all packets detected by the radios, as opposed to processing only
packets destined to the APs BSSID. This can affect AP throughput.
Modifying Radio Settings
Radio settings directly control the behaviour of the radio devices in the AP and its interaction with the physical
medium; that is, how and what type of electromagnetic waves the AP emits.
To specify radio settings, click the Radio tab in the Manage section.
Different settings will be displayed depending on the mode you select. All settings are described in the table below.
Figure 20 - Modify Radio Settings
The following table describes the elds and conguration options for the Radio Settings page.
Field Description
Radio Select Radio 1or Radio 2 to specify which radio to congure. The rest of the settings on this
page apply to the radio you select in this eld. Be sure to congure settings for both radios.
Radio 1 operates in the 5 GHz band (802.11a/n), and Radio 2 operates in the 2.4 GHz band
(802.11b/g/n).
Status (On/Off) Specify whether you want the radio on or off by clicking On or Off.
If you turn off a radio, the AP sends disassociation frames to all the wireless clients it is
currently supporting so that the radio can be gracefully shutdown and the clients can start
the association process with other available APs.

Channel Bandwidth
(802.11n and
802.11ac modes
only)
The 802.11n specication allows a 40 MHz wide channel in addition to the legacy 20 MHz
channel available with other modes. The 40 MHz channel enables higher data rates but
leaves fewer channels available for use by other 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz devices.
The 802.11ac specication allows an 80 MHz-wide channel in addition to the 20 MHz and 40
MHz channels.
Set the eld to 20 MHz to restrict the use of the channel bandwidth to a 20 MHz channel.
For the 802.11ac mode, set the eld to 40 MHz to prevent the radio from using the 80 MHz
channel bandwidth.

Broadcast/Multicast
Rate Limiting
Enabling multicast and broadcast rate limiting can improve overall network performance by
limiting the number of packets transmitted across the network.
By default the Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting option is disabled. Until you enable
Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting, the following elds will be disabled:
•) Rate Limit - Enter the rate limit you want to set for multicast and broadcast trafc. The
limit should be greater than 1, but less than 50 packets per second. Any trafc that
falls below this rate limit will always conform and be transmitted to the appropriate
destination. The default and maximum rate limit setting is 50 packets per second.
•) Rate Limit Burst - Setting a rate limit burst determines how much trafc bursts can
be before all trafc exceeds the rate limit. This burst limit allows intermittent bursts of
trafc on a network above the set rate limit. The default and maximum rate limit burst
setting is 75 packets per second.
DHCP Offer/ACK to
Unicast
Enabling this feature will convert BOOTP replies from DHCP server to Unicast and send to
the requesting wireless client.
Multicast to Unicast Enabling this feature will convert all multicast data stream to unicast stream and send to the
associated wireless clients.
Forced Roaming Enabling this feature will detect and disconnect wireless clients based on the client RSSI. If
the client RSSI falls below the roaming threshold value, the client will be disassociated.
Further association attempts will be monitored and disconnected 3 times if its RSSI is below
the threshold value. If still the client tries association 4th time, the association will be logged
and allowed to connect.
TSPEC Mode Regulates the overall TSPEC mode on the AP. The options are:
•) On — The AP handles TSPEC requests according to the TSPEC settings you
congure on the Radio page. Use this setting if the AP handles trafc from QoS-
capable devices, such as a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED phone.
•) Off — The AP ignores TSPEC requests from client stations. Use this setting if you do
not want to use TSPEC to give QoS-capable devices priority for time-sensitive trafc.
TSPEC Voice ACM
Mode
Regulates mandatory admission control (ACM) for the voice access category. The options
are:
•) On A station is required to send a TSPEC request for bandwidth to the AP before
sending or receiving a voice trafc stream. The AP responds with the result of the

•) Off A station can send and receive voice priority trafc without requiring an admitted
TSPEC; the AP ignores voice TSPEC requests from client stations.
TSPEC Voice ACM
Limit
Specify an upper limit on the amount of trafc the AP attempts to transmit on the wireless
medium using a voice AC to gain access.
TSPEC Video ACM
Mode
Regulates mandatory admission control for the video access category. The options are:
•) On A station is required to send a TSPEC request for bandwidth to the AP before
sending or receiving a video trafc stream. The AP responds with the result of the

VAPs simulate multiple APs in one physical AP. Each radio supports up to 16 VAPs.
For each VAP, you can customize the security mode to control wireless client access. Each VAP can also have
a unique SSID. Multiple SSIDs make a single AP look like two or more APs to other systems on the network.
By conguring VAPs, you can maintain better control over broadcast and multicast trafc, which affects network
performance.
You can congure each VAP to use a different VLAN, or you can congure multiple VAPs to use the same VLAN,
whether the VLAN is on the same radio or on a different radio. VAP0, which is always enabled on both radios, is
assigned to the default VLAN 1.
The AP adds VLAN ID tags to wireless client trafc based on the VLAN ID you congure on the VAP page or by using
the RADIUS server assignment. If you use an external RADIUS server, you can congure multiple VLANs on each
VAP. The external RADIUS server assigns wireless clients to the VLAN when the clients associate and authenticate.

Section 4 - Managing the Access Point
Field Description
RADIUS IP or IPv6
Address 1–3
Enter up to three IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to use as the backup RADIUS servers. The eld
label is RADIUS IP Address when the IPv4 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected and
RADIUS IPv6 Address when the IPv6 RADIUS IP Address Type option is selected.
If authentication fails with the primary server, each congured backup server is tried in
sequence. The IPv4 or IPv6 address must be valid in order for the AP to attempt to contact
the server.
RADIUS Key Enter the RADIUS key in the text box.
The RADIUS Key is the shared secret key for the global RADIUS server. You can use up to
63 standard alphanumeric and special characters. The key is case sensitive, and you must
congure the same key on the AP and on your RADIUS server. The text you enter will be
displayed as “*” characters to prevent others from seeing the RADIUS key as you type.
RADIUS Key 1–3 Enter the RADIUS key associated with the congured backup RADIUS servers. The server
at RADIUS IP Address-1 uses RADIUS Key-1, RADIUS IP Address-2 uses RADIUS Key-2,
and so on.
Enable RADIUS
Accounting
Select this option to track and measure the resources a particular user has consumed
such as system time, amount of data transmitted and received, and so on.
If you enable RADIUS accounting, it is enabled for the primary RADIUS server and all
backup servers.
Enable RADIUS
FailThrough
Select this option to allow the secondary RADIUS server to authenticate wireless clients
if the authentication with the primary RADIUS server is unsuccessful, or if the primary
RADIUS server is unavailable.
Radio Select the radio to congure. VAPs are congured independently on each radio.
VAP You can congure up to 16 VAPs for each radio. VAP0 is the physical radio interface, so to
disable VAP0, you must disable the radio.
Enabled You can enable or disable a congured network.
•) To enable the specied network, select the Enabled option beside the appropriate
VA P.
•) To disable the specied network, clear the Enabled option beside the appropriate VAP.
If you disable the specied network, you will lose the VLAN ID you entered.
VLAN ID When a wireless client connects to the AP by using this VAP, the AP tags all trafc from the
wireless client with the VLAN ID you enter in this eld unless you enter the untagged VLAN
ID or use a RADIUS server to assign a wireless client to a VLAN. The range for the VLAN ID
is 1 – 4094.
If you use RADIUS-based authentication for clients, you can optionally add the following
attributes to the appropriate le in the RADIUS or AAA server to congure a VLAN for the
client:
•) “Tunnel-Type”
•) “Tunnel-Medium-Type”
•) “Tunnel-Private-Group-ID”
The RADIUS-assigned VLAN ID overrides the VLAN ID you congure on the VAP page.
You congure the untagged and management VLAN IDs on the Ethernet Settings page. For
more information, see “Ethernet Settings” on page 36.
SSID Enter a name for the wireless network. The SSID is an alphanumeric string of up to 32
characters. You can use the same SSID for multiple VAPs, or you can choose a unique
SSID for each VAP.
Note: If you are connected as a wireless client to the same AP that you are administering,
resetting the SSID will cause you to lose connectivity to the AP. You will need to reconnect to
the new SSID after you save this new setting.

Section 5 - Conguring Access Point Services
This section describes how to congure services on the UAP and contains the following subsections:
•) “Web Server Settings” on page 69
•) “Conguring SNMP on the Access Point” on page 70
•) “Setting the SSH Status” on page 72
•) “Setting the Telnet Status” on page 73
•) “Conguring DDP” on page 73
•) “Conguring Quality of Service” on page 73
•) “Conguring Email Alert” on page 76
•) “Enabling the Time Settings (NTP)” on page 78
Web Server Settings
The AP can be managed through HTTP or secure HTTP (HTTPS) sessions. By default both HTTP and HTTPS access
are enabled. Either access type can be disabled separately.
To congure Web server settings, click Web Server tab.
Figure 36 - Congure Web Server Settings
Field Description
HTTPS Server
Status
Enable or disable access through a Secure HTTP Server (HTTPS).
HTTP Server Status Enable or disable access through HTTP. This setting is independent of the HTTPS server
status setting.
HTTP Port Specify the port number for HTTP trafc (default is 80).
HTTPS Port Specify the port number for HTTPS trafc (default is 443).
Maximum Sessions When a user logs on to the AP web interface, a session is created. This session is
maintained until the user logs off or the session inactivity timer expires.
Enter the number web sessions, including both HTTP and HTTPs, that can exist at the same
time. The range is 1–10 sessions. If the maximum number of sessions is reached, the next
user who attempts to log on to the AP web interface receives an error message about the
session limit.
