3.

Refer to the

LAN Ethernet Timeout

field to define how LAN Ethernet inactivity is

processed by the access point.

Use the

Ethernet Port Timeout

drop-down menu to define how the access point interprets

inactivity for the LAN assigned to the Ethernet port. When

Enabled

is selected, the access

point uses the value defined in the

Sec.

box (default is 30 seconds). Selecting

Disabled

allows the LAN to use the Ethernet port for an indefinite timeout period.

4.

Refer to the

802.1x Port Authentication

field if using port authentication over the access

point’s LAN port.

The access point only supports 802.1x authentication over its LAN port. The access point
behaves as an 802.1x supplicant to authenticate to a server on the network. If using 802.1x
authentication, enter the authentication server user name and password. The default
password is “motorola.” For information on enabling and configuring authentication
schemes on the access point, see

Enabling Authentication and Encryption Schemes on page

6-5

.

LAN Name

Use the

LAN Name

field to modify the existing LAN name. LAN1

and LAN2 are the default names assigned to the LANs until
modified by the user.

Ethernet Port

The

Ethernet Port

radio buttons allow you to select one of the two

available LANs as the LAN actively transmitting over the access
point’s LAN port. Both LANs can be active at any given time, but
only one can transmit over the access point’s physical LAN
connection, thus the selected LAN has priority.

Enable 802.1q
Trunking

Select the

Enable 802.1q Trunking

checkbox to enable the LAN

to conduct VLAN tagging. If selected, click the

WLAN Mapping

button to configure mappings between individual WLANs and
LANs. If enabled, the access point is required to be connected to a
trunked port.

VLAN Name

Click the

VLAN Name

button to launch the

VLAN Name

screen

to create VLANs and assign them VLAN IDs. For more information,
see

Configuring VLAN Support on page 5-5

.

WLAN Mapping

Click the

WLAN Mapping

button to launch the

VLAN

Configuration

screen to map existing WLANs to one of the two

LANs and define the WLAN’s VLAN membership (up to 16
mappings are possible per access point). For more information, see

Configuring VLAN Support on page 5-5
