Third-party AP WLAN Service Type
For more information, see Chapter 14, Working with Third-party APs.
A third-party AP WLAN Service allows for the specification of a segregated subnet by which non-
Siemens Wireless APs are used to provide RF services to users while still utilizing the SCALANCE
IWLAN Controller for user authentication and user policy enforcement.
Note:
Third-party AP devices are not fully integrated with the system and therefore must be managed individually to
provide the correct user access characteristics.
The definition of third-party AP identification parameters allows the system to be able to
differentiate the third-party AP device (and corresponding traffic) from user devices on that
segment. Devices identified as third-party APs are considered pre-authenticated, and are not
required to complete the corresponding authentication verification stages defined for users in that
segment (typically Captive Portal enforcement).
In addition, third-party APs have a specific set of filters (third-party) applied to them by default,
which allows the administrator to provide different traffic access restrictions to the third-party AP
devices for the users that use those resources. The third-party filters could be used to allow access
to third-party APs management operations (for example, HTTP, SNMP).
