Section 4 - Managing the Access Point
Field Description
Base IP Port The starting IP port number used by the wireless feature (in a range of 10 consecutive port
numbers). Only the rst number in the range is congurable. The default value is 57775
(through 57784).
Note: When the wireless Base IP Port number is changed on the switch, the wireless
feature is automatically disabled and re-enabled. The new value is not sent as part of the
global switch conguration in the cluster conguration distribution command; every switch in
the cluster must be congured independently with the new Wireless IP port number.
Note: When the wireless Base IP Port number is changed from its default value on the
switch, it must also be changed on the Access Points.
Pass Phrase Select the Edit option and enter a passphrase to allow the AP to authenticate itself with the
wireless switch. The passphrase must be between 8 and 63 characters.
To remove the password, select Edit, delete the existing password, and then click Apply.
You must congure the same passphrase on the switch.
WDS Managed
Mode
Specify whether the AP will act as a Root AP or Satellite AP within the WDS group:
•) Root AP — Acts as a bridge or repeater on the wireless medium and communicates
with the switch via the wired link.
•) Satellite AP — Communicates with the switch via a WDS link to the Root AP. This
mode enables the Satellite AP to discover and establish WDS link with the Root AP.
WDS Managed
Ethernet Port
Specify whether the Ethernet port is to be enabled or disabled when the AP becomes part
of a WDS group.
WDS Group
Password
Password for WPA2 Personal authentication used to establish the WDS links. Only the
Satellite APs need this conguration. The Root APs get the password from the switch when
they become managed.
Table 33 - Managed Access Point
Note: After you congure the settings on the Managed Access Point page, you must click Apply
to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop
and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity.
We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN trafc is low.
If the UAP successfully authenticates with a D-Link Unied Wireless Switch, you will loose access to the AP through
the Administrator UI.
Conguring 802.1X Authentication
On networks that use IEEE 802.1X, port-based network access control, a supplicant (client) cannot gain access to
the network until the 802.1X authenticator grants access. If your network uses 802.1X, you must congure 802.1X
authentication information that the AP can supply to the authenticator.
To congure the UAP 802.1X supplicant user name and password by using the Web interface, click the
Authentication tab and congure the elds shown in the table below.
