Wireless Access Point
308 Configuring the Wireless AP
The authentication options that are offered on the SSID Management
page are not offered here. Since the group membership of a user is
provided to the AP by a Radius server, this means the user has already
been authenticated.
You may create a WPR Whitelist on a per-group basis if you wish. See
“Whitelist Configuration for Web Page Redirect” on page 292 for details
of WPR Whitelist usage and configuration.
Group Limits
The Limits section allows you to limit the traffic or connection times allowed for
this user group. Note that the IAPs — Global Settings window and the SSID
management windows also have options to limit the number of stations, limit
traffic, and/or limit connection times. If limits are set in more than one place, all
limits will be enforced:
As soon as any station limit is reached, no new stations can associate until
some other station has terminated its association.
As soon as any traffic limit is reached, it is enforced.
If any connection date/time restriction applies, it is enforced.
You can picture this as a logical AND of all restrictions. For example, suppose that
a station’s SSID is available Monday - Friday between 8:00am and 5:00pm, and
the User Group is available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday between 6:00am and
8:00pm, then the station will be allowed on MWF between 8:00am and 5:00pm.
To eliminate confusion, we recommend that you configure one set of limits or the
other, but not both.
13. Stations: Enter the maximum number of stations allowed on this group.
The default is 1536.
14. Overall Traffic: Check the Unlimited checkbox if you do not want to
place a restriction on the traffic for this group, or enter a value in the
Packets/Sec field and make sure that the Unlimited box is unchecked to
force a traffic restriction.
