AP-2500 Authentication Methods
• You can disable the AP’s DHCP server if there is another DHCP server that you want to use instead. See
Disabling the AP’s DHCP Server for details.
4. Configure IP Upsell, if desired. See IP Upsell for details.
• In general, it costs more to obtain public IP addresses from your ISP due to limited availability. If you have a
pool of public IP addresses that you can distribute, you can offer standard customers less expensive private
IP addresses and premium customers public IP addresses. This concept is known as “IP Upsell”.
• Some applications require a public IP address to function properly over the Internet (such as certain VPN
applications, on-line gaming, and Web hosting). Customers who require a public IP address may be willing to
pay a premium for this service.
• The subscriber’s wireless card must be configured to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server to use the IP
Upsell feature (that is, this feature doesn’t work if the subscriber’s computer is assigned a static IP address).
5. Click OK to save your changes to the DHCP Server settings.
6. Click the
DNS Server tab to configure Domain Name Service (DNS) settings. This information may already be
provided for you if the AP’s IP Address Type is Dynamic.
•
Enter a DNS Host Name for the AP. The default setting is suitable for most configurations unless you have
multiple APs and want to assign each one a different Host Name.
• Enter the DNS Domain name. This name is provided by your ISP or network administrator.
• Enter up to three DNS Server IP addresses in the fields provided. You must configure at least the Primary
DNS Server IP address. These IP addresses should be provided by your ISP or network administrator.
NOTE
The AP must be configured with a valid DNS Server IP address to function correctly. If you are setting up a
demo with this equipment, the AP must be able to communicate with a valid DNS server before it will function
as expected. If you do not configure DNS, then all Internet locations must be in IP address format, including
HTTP requests from subscribers.
7. Click OK to save your changes to the DNS Server settings.
8. Click the Public Space button.
9. Click the AAA tab.
10. Place a check mark in the Enable AAA Services box.
11. Set Authorization Method to Internal (this is the default setting).
