This page contains basic static information on the system, such as contact details, and IP
addresses. Several changes are recommended on this page.

Setting System Contact Details

In the System Identity area, in the System Contact field, enter the contact email address of the
net owner.

Setting the IP Address Configuration

Change the IP address to allow the full configuration. The Current IP Address Configuration
area lists a default IP address; it is possible to perform initial testing with this address, but it is
highly recommended to change the IP address.

To change the IP address

In the IP Address Configuration section,

1. For a DHCP obtained address, select DHCP. Following a reboot, the WBS-2400 will

automatically obtain and IP address, Subnet mask, and Default Gateway from the DHCP
server.

2 To allow entry of a new IP address, select Static from the Configured Boot Protocol

dropdown list.

3 In the Configured IP Address field, enter the required IP address.
4 In the Configured Subnet Mask, enter a valid network mask.

Note: The system must be rebooted for these changes to take effect.

Setting the Management VLAN configuration

The purpose of the management VLAN is to segment the Management and the Clients data
traffic. It also provides an option for customers to keep an Open SSID for public traffic and
simultaneously manage the WBS-2400 traffic over a separate VLAN (that may be linked to a
secured SSID). The management VLAN can be selected out of the enabled VLAN list.

Note: Only one VLAN can be defined as the Management VLAN in the

WBS-2400 system.

The configuration of the Management VLAN takes effect immediately.

This means that setting the Management VLAN has to be done in 2 steps:

Managing the System Configuration

Rev 4.0 User Manual 18

1. Applying the VLAN parameters (external VLAN ID and tagging mode) using the

existing management traffic, and selecting the desired VLAN to be the Management
VLAN on the Administration page. After this stage the current wire-line connection
to the system GUI will drop.

2. Saving the parameters – using the new Management VLAN, i.e. over the tagged

VLAN.

To enable VLAN management

1. Apply the VLAN parameters (external VLAN ID and tagging mode) using the existing

management traffic or create a new VLAN ID.

2. Select the desired VLAN ID for the Management VLAN traffic.

3. Click Apply and Save

Note: The configuration of the Management VLAN takes effect

immediately. Therefore setting the Management VLAN is done over the
"old" VLAN (default is VLAN-1 untagged), while saving is done over the
"new" VLAN.

The 3rd step in "To enable VLAN management has to be done over a
different machine/ the new VLAN.

Setting the System Management Configuration

You can decide to allow system management from the Wireless Interface, or to allow
management only from the Ethernet Interface, for security purposes.

To enable or disable system management from the Wireless
Interface

In the System Management Configuration area, in the Management from Wireless field, from
the dropdown list, select enabled to allow system management from the wireless interface, or
Disabled to restrict system management to the Ethernet Interface.

To enable or disable Startup Wizard

From the dropdown list, select “Disabled” to stop performing the Startup Wizard after each
login.
