Ethernet Port
The
Ethernet Port
radio buttons allow you to select one of the two
available LANs as the LAN actively transmitting over the AP-5131’s
LAN port. Both LANs can be active at any given time, but only one
can transmit over the AP-5131 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 AP-5131 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 5-4
WLAN Mapping
Click the
WLAN Mapping
button to launch the
VLAN
Configuration
screen to map existing WLANs to one of the two
AP-5131’s LANs and define the WLAN’s VLAN membership (up to
16 mappings are possible per AP-5131). For more information, see
Configuring VLAN Support on page 5-4
.
Ethernet Port Timeout Use the
Ethernet Port Timeout
drop-down menu to define how
the AP-5131 interprets inactivity for the LAN assigned to the
Ethernet port. When
Enabled
is selected, the AP-5131 uses the
value defined in the
Sec.
box (default is 30 seconds). Selecting
Disabled
allows the LAN selected to use the Ethernet port for an
indefinite timeout period.
802.1x Port
Authentication
The
AP-5131
only supports 802.1x authentication over its LAN
port. The
AP-5131
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 “symbol.” For information on
enabling and configuring authentication schemes on the
AP-5131
,
see
Enabling Authentication and Encryption Schemes on page 6-5
