Administrator and User Access 6-3
If all the checkboxes in this section are disabled, the administrator will not be able to access the
switch through the WS 2000 Management System user interface. The only access available is
through a direct serial cable connection from a PC. All commands are given using the command
line interface. If this situation occurs accidentally, you can restore the switch’s factory settings
using the command line interface.
Configuring Secure Shell Connection Parameters
If CLI SSH (port 22) is enabled either for either WAN or LAN, set the fields in the Secure Shell area:
1. Enter a value, in seconds, when a client connected via SSH must reauthenticate in the Authentication Timeout field.
The default is 120 seconds (2 minutes).
2. Enter the amount of time, in seconds, when an inactive client using SSH will be disconnected in the SSH Client
Inactivity Timeout field. The default is 120 seconds (2 minutes).
Admin Authentication and RADIUS Server Authentication Setup
There are two methods available for authenticating administrators upon contacting the switch. This area provides a means
to set up the desired authentication methods.
1. First choose an authentication method:
• Select the Local radio button to have the administrator of the switch authenticate using the built-in password
authentication process (that is, using the standard admin password).
• Select the Radius radio button to have the administrator authenticate against a RADIUS database. If RADIUS is
selected, the RADIUS server information can be entered in the Radius Server for Admin Authentication area.
2. If the Radius button is selected, specify the Radius Server IP address, the communication port for the authentication
process, and the RADIUS server’s Shared Secret (password) that should be used.

security and effectiveness of a wireless network. The fields in this section of the screen allow the administrator to enable
access from the AirBEAM software suite and to set the AirBEAM password.
1. To enable AirBEAM access, check the Enable AirBEAM checkbox.
2. Specify a password for AirBEAM software access. Note that the AirBEAM login name is always “airbeam”.
3. Click the Apply button to save changes.
