Enabling wireless LANs (WLANs)

NOTE
When the Mobility 5181 Access Point is first launched, a single ACL policy (default) is available
and mapped to WLAN 1. It is anticipated numerous additional ACL policies will be created as
the list of WLANs grows.
2. Click the Create button to configure a new ACL policy, or select a policy and click the Edit
button to modify an existing ACL policy. The access point supports a maximum of 16 Client ACL
policies.
Either the New Client ACL Policy or Edit Client ACL Policy screens display.
3. Assign a name to the new or edited ACL policy that represents an inclusion or exclusion policy
specific to a particular type of Client traffic you may want to use with a single or group of
WLANs. More than one WLAN can use the same ACL policy.
4. Configure the parameters within the Mobile Unit Access Control List field to allow or deny Client
access to the Mobility 5181 Access Point.
The Client adoption list identifies Clients by their MAC address. The MAC address is the Client's
unique Media Access Control number printed on the device (for example, 00:09:5B:45:9B:07)
by the manufacturer. A maximum of 200 Client MAC addresses can be added to the New/Edit
Client ACL Policy screen.
5. Click Apply to save any changes to the New Client ACL Policy or Edit Client ACL Policy screen
and return to the Mobile Unit Access Control List Configuration screen. Navigating away from
the screen without clicking Apply results in changes to the screens being lost.
6. Click Cancel to securely exit the New Client ACL Policy or Edit Client ACL Policy screen and
return to the Mobile Unit Access Control List Configuration screen.
7. Click Logout within the Mobile Unit Access Control List Configuration screen to securely exit the
Access Point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout before the applet is closed.
Setting the WLAN Quality of Service (QoS) policy
The Mobility 5181 Access Point can keep a list of QoS policies that can be used from the New
WLAN or Edit WLAN screens to map to individual WLANs. Use the Quality of Service Configuration
screen to configure WMM policies that can improve the user experience for audio, video and voice
applications by shortening the time between packet transmissions for higher priority (multimedia)
traffic.
Use the Quality of Service Configuration screen to define the QoS policies for advanced network
traffic management and multimedia applications support. If the existing QoS policies are
insufficient, a new policy can be created or an existing policy can be modified using the New QoS
Policy or Edit QoS Policy screens. Once new policies are defined, they are available for use within
the New WLAN or Edit WLAN screens to assign to specific WLANs based on Client interoperability
requirements.
Access for the listed
Wireless Clients Use the drop-down list to select Allow or Deny. This rule applies to the
Clients listed in the table. For example, if the adoption rule is to Allow,
access is granted for all Clients except those listed in the table.
Add Click the Add button to create a new entry using only the Start MAC column
to specify a MAC address, or uses both the Start MAC and End MAC
columns to specify a range of MAC addresses.
Delete Click the Delete button to remove a selected list entry.
