Configuring the Network
From this list you can click a component name or click the pencil icon at the right of the row to edit the
component’s name and the folder to which it is assigned. For Access Control Servers, you can also edit
settings related to its use in a failover configuration. See
“Configuring an Access Control Server” on
page 6-3 for more information.
You can delete some components using the trash can icon to the right. Some components cannot be
deleted—in this case the trash can icon will be dimmed.
A more concise form of the System Components List, as shown in Figure 6-2 also appears on other pages
under the Network, VPN, and Maintenance functions.

This list is also displayed in a tree form, with folders that can be opened or closed. The list enables you to
select a component to view or modify as appropriate to the page you are viewing.
Configuring an Access Control Server
The Access Control Server provides centralized administration for the 700wl Series system. A second
Access Control Server may be used to provide automatic failover in a redundant configuration (see
“Configuring Failover with Redundant Access Control Servers” on page 6-15 for more details).
The Access Control Server on which you are running the Administrative Console already exists in the
System Components List. In a redundant configuration, you can connect to the Administrative Console
on either the primary or secondary Access Control Server.
The header bar of the Administrative Console indicates whether the Access Control Server you are
logged into is the only Access Control Server in the system, or is the primary or secondary Access Control
Server.
Editing the Access Control Server Configuration
The Access Control Server is typically configured with its network configuration parameters and shared
secret when it is initially installed on the network, per the instructions in the Quick Start Guide or
Installation and Getting Started Guide shipped with the hardware.
However, there are several situations in which you may need to modify the Access Control Server
configuration:
• To function in a redundant configuration as either a Primary or Secondary Access Control Server
• To enable SSH access to the unit for remote CLI or Technical Support access
• To configure or change the shared secret used to establish a trust relationship between the Access
Control Server and the associated Access Controllers, or with a peer Access Control Server in a
redundant configuration.
Note: The shared secret is normally configured on the Access Control Server at installation through
the CLI. However, an Access Control Server configured to get its network parameters through
