Using the 700wl Series System
The 700wl Series system provides three levels of administrator access:
• A Network Administrator can configure the network parameters that enable the 700wl Series system
to function in a network, such as configuring IP addressing, interface configuration, date and time
settings, SNMP access, and performing software updates and backups. The network administrator
can perform these functions for all system components that make up a 700wl Series system. A
Network Administrator cannot perform any functions under the Rights Manager, such as adding
users, creating or modifying Access Policies, modifying the Rights Table, setting up Authentication
Services or Authentication Policies, or other similar functions. A Network Administrator can view
all the pages in the Status and Logs areas.
• A
Policy Administrator
can perform functions under the Rights Manager, such as adding and
removing users, configuring Authentication, setting up Identity Profiles, Connection Profiles, and
Access Policies, and manipulating the Rights Assignment Table. A Policy Administrator cannot
modify any of the network configuration parameters, or perform system software updates, backups,
or restarts. A Policy Administrator can view all the pages in the Status and Logs areas.
• A
Super Administrator
can perform all the administrative functions for all connected components of
a 700wl Series system—both network and rights configuration. In addition, a Super Administrator
can add, delete, enable, and disable other administrator.
There is one built-in administrator that has Super Administrator capabilities. This is the only
administrator that exists on a new unit. While all other administrator settings are maintained in the
700wl Series system database, and thus are deleted if the system is reset to factory defaults, the
built-in administrator simply has its name and password reset to the default.
The built-in administrator name and password can be changed on the System Components Edit
page for an individual system component. For information about creating additional administrator
accounts, see
Setting Up Administrators on page 6-42.
Centralized Administration
Wireless network clients connect through an Access Controller, but authentication and rights
administration for these clients is handled centrally from the Access Control Server. In addition, all
configuration of the Access Control Server and all Access Controllers connected to the 700wl Series
system is handled through the Administrative Console running on the Access Control Server. Once you
have installed an Access Controller onto your network following the instructions in the 700wl Series Quick
Start Guide, all other administration on the Access Controller is handled through the Access Control
Server.
From the centralized Administrative Console on your Access Control Server you can perform the
following functions:
• Monitor in real-time the status of all the 700wl Series system components
• Monitor in real-time the status of all clients logged onto the system, and monitor the status of all their
sessions
• View the 700wl Series system logs
• Update access rights for clients in real-time
• Log clients out of the system
• Configure advanced network settings for 700wl Series system components, including bridging, DHCP
addressing for use with NAT, IP broadcast forwarding, setting up HTTP proxies, configuring SNMP
settings, and setting the system date and time
