6.10.1 Configuring LAN to WAN Access
The access point LAN can be configured to communicate with the WAN side of the access point. Use
the Subnet Access screen to control access from the LAN1 (or LAN2) interfaces to the WAN
interface. This access level will function as an ACL in a router to allow/deny certain IP addresses or
subnets to access certain interfaces (or subnets belonging to those interfaces) by creating access
policies. It also functions as a filter to allow/deny access for certain protocols such as HTTP, Telnet,
FTP etc.
To configure access point subnet access:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Firewall -> Subnet Access from the access point
menu tree.
2. Refer to the Overview field to view rectangles representing subnet associations. The three
possible colors indicate the current access level, as defined, for each subnet association.
Color Access Type Description

pass between these two areas.

are either enabled or disabled between these two areas.
Click the table cell of interest and look at the exceptions
area in the lower half of the screen to determine the
protocols that are either allowed or denied.

pass between these two areas.
