for CAM when AC power. When this is checked, the wireless NIC will stay full power when AC power cord is
plug into power outlet.
- Network Type: There are two types, infrastructure and 802.11 ad-hoc modes. Under ad-hoc mode, user can also
choose the preamble type; the available preamble type includes short and long. In addition to that, the channel
and Ad hoc wireless mode field will be available for setup in ad-hoc mode.

set up the authentication security. The function of each session is shown below
Authentication & Security
When the Encryption feature is enabled, the other setups are same as the WEP setting.
- Authentication Type: There are three type of authentication modes supported. They are open, Shared, WPA-PSK
and WPA system.
- 802.1x Setting: It will display to set when user use radius server to authenticate client certificate for WPA
authentication mode.
- 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.
- 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.
- WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. The key must matched AP key. There are several
formats to enter the keys.
-- Hexadecimal、40bits：10 Hex characters.
-- Hexadecimal、128bits：32Hex characters.
-- ASCII、40bits：5 ASCII characters.
-- ASCII、128bits：13 ASCII characters.

802.1x Setting
802.1x is a authentication for 『WPA』and 『WPA2』certificate to server.
- 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.
TLS／Smart Card: 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.
iii.
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.
iv.
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.
v.
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.
-9-
- Session Resumption: user can choose “ Disable ”, “ Reauthentication ”, “ Roaming ”, “ SameSsid ” and “
Always ”.
- Identity and Password: Identity and password for server.
- Use Client Certicate: Client Certicate for server authentication.
- Tunnel Authentication
Protocol: Tunnel protocol, List information include “ EAP-MSCHAP ”, “ EAP-MSCHAP v2 ”, “ CAHAP ”
and “ MD5 ”
Tunnel Identity: Identity for tunnel.
Tunnel Password: Password for tunnel.
- CA Server: Certificate Authority Server. Each certificate is signed or issued by it.
CA Server
Depending on the EAP in use, only the server or both the server and client may be authenticated and require a
certificate. Server certificates identify a server, usually an authentication or RADIUS server to clients. Most EAPs
require a certificate issued by a root authority or a trusted commercial CA. Show as the figure.
1.
Certificate issuer: Choose use server that issuer of certificates.
2.
Allow intimidate certificates: It must be in the server certificate chain between the server certificate and the server
specified in the certificate issuer must be field.
3.
Server name: Enter an authentication sever root.
