The WIRELESS LAN Utility comes with the WIRELESS LAN Card is not support the Windows XP. -9- Chapter 4 Configure MIMO WIRELESS LAN Card with "MiMo Wireless Utility" for Windows 98/ME/2000/XP Click the utility icon, and you will see the application interface as step 2. Each icon have different means describe as follows. Indicates that there is a wireless connection available Indicates that there is no wireless connection available 4-1 Site Survey Page 1. the means of item - 10 - SSID : Name of AP BSSID : Mac Address of AP Signal : Signal strength of AP Channel : AP used channel Encryption : what encrypted mechanism does AP used, the encrypted mechanism contain four ways , WEP, AES, TKIP, NOT USE Authentication : What authentication mechanism does AP used. Network Type : What Network Type does the AP belong to. 2. The connected AP the system will choose the suitable AP when you start up RaConfig in the first time if you want to connect with another AP, double click mouse's left button in the SSID of AP. indicate connect successful. 3. if the connect is success, it will show the SSID of the connected AP 4. 5. 6. rescan and upgrade all the AP's information in time connect with selected AP Save the selected AP's information to Profile 4-1-1 Add/Edit Profile System Configuration : as figure bellow - 11 - 1. Profile Name: Different AP can be set up into different Profile Name 2. SSID: The drop-down menu can select which AP is detected by system 3. Power Save Mode: can selectCAMConstantly Awake Mode or Power Saving Mode mode. Selecting the" CAM when AC Power" means the power saving mode can automatically switch into CAM, if the computer uses the AC power, not using the batteries instead. Selecting the "Power Save Mode" can only work under the infrastructure mode. 4. Network Type: Can select "Infrastructure" or "802.11 Ad Hoc" mode. When set up to "Infrastructure" mode, the "Power Saving" mode will be enabled, but the "11b Preamble Type" will not; When set up to "802.11 Ad Hoc" mode, the "Power Saving Mode" will not be enabled, but "11b Preamble" will, and the channel selection in the session 7 will show up as well. 5. TX Power: Transmit power, the amount of power used by a radio transceiver to send the signal out. User can choose power value by sliding the bar. 6. Preamble: There are three types, Auto, Long and Short are supported. 7. Ad hoc wireless mode: There are five types. 802.11B only, 802.11 B/G mixed 802.11A only, - 12 - 802.11 A/B/G mixed and 802.11G only modes are supported. 8. RTS Threshold: User can adjust the RTS threshold number by sliding the bar or key in the value directly. The default value is 2312. 9. Fragment Threshold: User can adjust the RTS threshold number by sliding the bar or key in the value directly. The default value is 2312. Note: Channel: Only available for setting under ad-hoc mode. User can choose the channel frequency to start their ad-hoc network. Profile function is based on the needs to set up the most linkable AP in order to record the system configuration and to set up the authentication security. The function of each session is shown below - 13 - 4-2 Authentication & Security As shown in picture . When the Encryption feature is enabled, the other setups are same as the said WEP setting. 1. Authentication Type: There are three type of authentication modes supported by RaConfig. They are open, Shared, WPA-PSK and WPA system. 2. 802.1x Setting: It will display to set when user use radius server to authenticate client certificate for WPA authentication mode. The detail operation will explain in section 5-6 Configure connection with WPA by 802.1x setting 3. Encryption Type: For open and shared authentication mode, the selection of encryption type are None and WEP. For WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, the encryption type supports both TKIP and AES. 4. WPA Pre-shared Key: This is the shared secret between AP and STA. For WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, this field must be filled with character longer than 8 and less than 32 length. 5. WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. The key must matched AP There are several formats to enter the keys. i. Hexadecimal40bits10 Hex characters. - 14 - key. ii. iii. iv. Hexadecimal128bits32Hex characters. ASCII40bits5 ASCII characters. ASCII128bits13 ASCII characters. 4-2-1 802.1x Setting 802.1x is a authentication for WPAand WPA2certificate to server. Show as figure 1. Authentication type: i. PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely authentication data by using tunneling between PEAP clients and an authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients using only server-side certificates, thus simplifying the implementation and administration of a secure wireless LAN. ii. TLSSmart Card: Transport Layer Security. Provides for certificate-based and - 15 - mutual authentication of the client and the network. It relies on client-side and server-side certificates to perform authentication and can be used to dynamically generate user-based and session-based WEP keys to secure subsequent iii. communications between the WLAN client and the access point. TTLS: Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This security method provides for certificate-based, mutual authentication of the client and network through an encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS requires only server-side certificates. LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is an EAP authentication type used primarily in Cisco Aironet WLANs. It encrypts data transmissions using dynamically generated WEP keys, and supports mutual authentication. MD5-Challenge: Message Digest Challenge. Challenge is an EAP authentication type that provides base-level EAP support. It provides for only one-way authentication - there is no mutual authentication of wireless client and the network. iv. v. 2. Session Resumption: user can choose " Disable ", " Reauthentication ", " Roaming ", " SameSsid " and " Always ". 3. Identity and Password: Identity and password for server. 4. Use Client Certicate: Client Certicate for server authentication. 5. Tu ...
