WPA (WiFi Protected Access)
Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client.
Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or above do include the client software that
supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.
Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions
on configuring WPA setting.
To configure WPA:
1.
From the Wireless Settings page, select the WPA Security Option and scroll to display the
WPA Radius settings shown below.
2.
Enter the WPA settings.
These settings are required for communication and authentication from a Radius server. A
Secondary Radius Server can be configured which is used if the Primary Radius Server fails.
•

: The IP address of the Radius Server. The default is
0.0.0.0
•
Radius Port

Configuring Your Wireless Card Access List
By default, any wireless PC that is configured with the SSID and WEP/WPA settings has access to
your wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to
only allow specific PCs based on their MAC addresses.

To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1.
Connect to the gateway and log in as described in
“Configuring Wireless Settings” on
page 2-4
.
2.
Under Setup on the main menu, select Wireless Settings. The Wireless Settings screen will
display as shown in
Figure 2-1 on page 2-5

Scroll down to the Wireless Card Access List and check the Turn Access Control On radio
box.
When you turn on access control, the gateway only accepts connections from clients on the
selected access control list. This provides an additional layer of security.
4.
Click
Apply
to confirm this setting.
To add or delete a Wireless Card from the Setup Access List:
1.
Click
Setup Access List.
The Wireless Card Access List page will display.
The Access List displays a list of wireless clients that will have access to the wireless network
when the list is enabled.
Note:
If your computer is connected wirelessly to the wireless voice gateway, be
careful about selecting the Turn Access Control On checkbox. If your
computer’s MAC address is not in the access control list, then you will lose
your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the
wireless voice gateway from a wired computer, or from a wireless computer
that is on the access control list, to make any further changes.
