Profile Tab Profile Name Here shows a distinctive name of profile in this column. SSID The SSID is the unique name shared among all wireless access points in the wireless network. Add Click Add button to add a profile from the drop-down screen.
- 18 - Profile Name: Users can enter profile name at will. Network Name (SSID): The SSID is the unique network name (case-sensitive) shared among all wireless access points in the wireless network. The name must be identical for all devices and wireless access points attempting to connect to the same network. This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network; wireless access points are not used: This function is selected to enable the ad hoc network type that computers should be setup at the same channel to communicate to each other directly without access point, users can share files and printers between each PC and laptop. User can select channels form the pull-down menu. Wireless network security Network Authentication: There are several types of authentication modes including Open System, Shared Key, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA 802.1X, WPA2 802.1X and WEP 802.1X. Data encryption: For Open System, Shared Key and WEP 802.1X authentication mode, the selection of encryption type is WEP. For WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA 802.1X and WPA2 802.1X authentication mode, the encryption type supports both TKIP and AES. When encryption is set to WEP… ASCII: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. When key length is set to 64 bits user can enter 5 ASCII characters (case sensitive), and 128 bits for 13 ASCII characters (case sensitive). PASS PHRASE: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. When key length is set to 64 bits user can enter 10 Hexadecimal characters (0~9, a~f) and 128 bits for 26 Hexadecimal characters (0~9, a~f).

EAP TYPE: • TLS: Transport Layer Security. Provides for certificate-based and 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 communications between the WLAN client and the access point. • 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. • TTLS: Tunnelled 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. • PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely authentication data by using tunnelling 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. ¤ MD5: 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. Tunnel: This is enabled under TTLS and PEAP type. For TTLS, the selections of tunnel are CHAP, MSCHAP, MSCHAP-V2, PAP. For PEAP, the selections of tunnel are MD5, GTC, TLS and MSCHAP-V2. Username: Enter the username for server. Identity: Enter the identity for server. Domain: Enter the domain of the network. Password: Enter the password for server. Certificate: Choose server that issuer of certificates. Remove Click Remove button to delete selected profile. Edit Click Edit button to edit selected profile. Duplicate Click Duplicate button to copy selected profile. Set Default Click Set Default button to set selected profile to be connected first.

The name must be identical for all devices and wireless access points attempting to connect to the same network. Channel: If set to ad hoc network type, user can select channels form the pull-down menu. Wireless network security Network Authentication: There are several types of authentication modes including Open System, Shared Key, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA 802.1X, WPA2 802.1X and WEP 802.1X. Data encryption: For Open System, Shared Key and WEP 802.1X authentication mode, the selection of encryption type is WEP. For WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA 802.1X and WPA2 802.1X authentication mode, the encryption type supports both TKIP and AES. When encryption is set to WEP… ASCII: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. When key length is set to 64 bits user can enter 5 ASCII characters (case sensitive), and 128 bits for 13 ASCII characters (case sensitive). PASS PHRASE: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. When key length is set to 64 bits user can enter 10 Hexadecimal characters (0~9, a~f) and 128 bits for 26 Hexadecimal characters (0~9, a~f). Key index (advanced): Select 1~4 key index form the pull-down menu,
- 49 - must match with the connected AP’s key index. When encryption is set to WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK… Network key: Enter network key at least 8 to 64 characters. Confirm network key: Enter network key again to confirm. When encryption is set to WPA 802.1X/ WPA2 802.1X/ WEP 802.1X… When users use radius server to authenticate client certificate for WPA authentication mode (WPA authentication do not support EAP Method- MD5-Challenge). EAP TYPE: • TLS: Transport Layer Security. Provides for certificate-based and 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 communications between the WLAN client and the access point. • 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. • TTLS: Tunnelled 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. • PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely authentication data by using tunnelling 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. ¤ MD5: 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. Tunnel: This is enabled under TTLS and PEAP type. For TTLS, the selections of tunnel are CHAP, MSCHAP, MSCHAP-V2, PAP. For PEAP, the selections of tunnel are MD5, GTC, TLS and MSCHAP-V2. Username: Enter the username for server. Identity: Enter the identity for server. Domain: Enter the domain of the network. Password: Enter the password for server. Certificate: Choose server that issuer of certificates. Remove Click Remove button to delete selected profile. Edit Click Edit button to edit selected profile. Duplicate Click Duplicate button to copy selected profile. Set Default Click Set Default button to set selected profile to be connected first.
