Because wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless
LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure.For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing support to any third parties for such modified products.Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant."July 2, 2009

Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup* to Configure or Join a Network ●Configure an access point and set up a network ●Connect an enrollee (computer) to a network or access point ●Add an enrollee to a network at the registrarIntel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility implements Wi-Fi Protected Setup* to permit easy and secure set up and management of a WiFi network. You can use this capability to initially set up a wireless network and to introduce new devices to the network. Wi-Fi Protected Setup simplifies the set up process and at same time helps ensure that the network is configured securely. The following terms are used in this discussion.●Access Point: A device that connects wireless devices to a network. The access point is configured with the necessary network name (SSID) and security credentials.●Enrollee: A device that seeks to join an access point or wireless network, but does not have the password or key for the access point or network. Once the computer obtains the valid password or key, it becomes a member of the wireless network. The WiFi connection utility can be configured to operate as an enrollee for a supported access point.●Registrar: A registrar is a logical entity (usually a computer) that allows other devices (usually computers) to join the wireless network. The WiFi connection utility can be configured to operate as a registrar for a supported access point(s). The registrar securely transfers the access point key or password automatically.A new wireless network is established by configuring the access point, connecting the desired computers equipped with WiFi adapters, and optionally attaching external network connectivity (i.e. the Internet, typically by connecting the access point to a DSL or cable modem, or equivalent).Configure an Access Point and Set up a WiFi NetworkThe following steps will configure this computer as a registrar for a secure network or access point.1. Locate the device ownership password for the access point. This is set by the manufacturer of the access point. The password is often located on a label on the bottom of the device.2. Turn on the network access point.3. At the computer that you want to establish as the registrar, turn on the WiFi connection utility.4. In the WiFi connection utility, click Tools > Application Settings.5. In the Advanced Settings area under Wi-Fi Protected Setup, turn on Enable device registration.
6. The next message tells you that one or more compatible devices are within range of your computer. Click this message. (Or, you can select the network from the WiFi Networks list in the WiFi connection utility main window.)7. At the next window, on the Available Networks list, select the network that you want to connect to. The listed networks depends on what is detected. Click Next.
8. At the next window, enter the Device Ownership Password that you retrieved from the access point in step 1. Click Next to continue.9. The next window shown displays the Network Name,Security Type, and Password. If the access point is already configured, it is grayed out; proceed to step 10. If the access point is not configured(fields are not grayed out), proceed to step 11.
10. After a few seconds the following message is displayed:The access point is already configured. Do you want to reconfigure it?If you do not want to reconfigure the access point, select No. The software joins the network, makes the connection, and creates a profile. It then exits and this procedure is completed. If you want to reconfigure the access point, select Yes.11. The next window is displayed. The first field shows the name of the access point. This is by default the Network Name (SSID). In this example we have reset it to MyWPS. You can name it whatever you want.12. In the Security Type field, select the security type you want.❍WPA* Personal requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access point and clients. This PSK authenticates a password or identifying code, on both the client station and the access point. An authentication server is not needed.❍WPA2* is the second generation of WPA security that provides enterprise and consumer wireless users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their WiFi networks. Here we have selected WPA2 Personal security. You can use Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility profiles to obtain the WiFi network name (SSID) and WPA2-Personal pass phrase to use for a legacy device.13. The third field is the Password (Key). The password shown is randomly generated or pre-configured, you can change it to whatever password you want. However you should use a robust key for improved security. It must have between 8 and 63 characters. When you have completed this step, click Next.The following windows show the configuration of the access point and the registrar.
14. After the network receives the Ownership Password, you are notified that you have Successfullyconnected to <name of wireless network>. Click Finish. This process completes configuration of the access point and the registrar.15. If you want to save these settings to a profile for future use by a legacy client, click Save wireless settings. The profile settings are saved to a text file (txt) on your local hard drive. The file is saved
to your local C:\ drive by default. Accept the default save location or click Browse to choose another location on your computer.Next, you can connect an enrollee (computer) to the network using the registrar.Connect an Enrollee to a WiFi Network or Access Point Perform these steps to connect an enrollee to the network you just created. This assumes that the registrar computer is running the WiFi connection utility.NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2-AES security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting.1. At the enrollee you want to connect the network, a message tells you that one or more access points with Wi-Fi Protected Setup capability is within range of your wireless computer. Click on this message. (Or, you can select the network from the WiFi Networks list in the WiFi connection utility main window.)2. The WiFi Protected Setup Wizard start up page opens. Use the Available Networks list to select the network that you want to connect to (in this example it is MyWPS). Then click Next.
3. The Discovery window opens. The enrollee that you want to connect to the network discovers the registrar for the network. Assuming that the Discovery process succeeds, the name of the registrar or access point is displayed.4. The next window appears, displaying the Device Password (enrollee password). The password displayed at the enrollee is a unique, randomly generated temporary password for the enrollee. This
password is used to ask permission to connect to the network access point. (The password shown below is an example only.).5. At the registrar, enter the password provided by the enrollee. Then click Next.NOTE: This process assumes that the registrar is running the WiFi connection utility; the process and windows displayed at the registrar may be different for software from other vendors. Some access points may have a built in registrar.
6. The next window lists the profile for this network. The selected profile will be sent to the enrollee, granting it access to the network. Only supported profiles are displayed. Supported profiles are those based on WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Open (None) security. Select the profile and click Next to finalize the enrollment process.7. The last window shows that the enrollee registration with the registrar is complete. Click Finish.
8. At the enrollee, click Next. At the enrollee, you are notified when you have Successfully connected to <name of wireless network>.

Network Name Network Name (SSID) of the current connection.Signal Quality A radio frequency (RF) signal can be assessed by two components:●signal strength (quantity)●signal qualityThe quality of the signal is determined by a combination of factors. Primarily it is composed of signal strength and the ratio of the RF noise present. RF noise occurs both naturally and artificially by electrical equipment. If the amount of the RF noise is high, or the signal strength is low, it results in a lower signal to noise ratio, which causes poorer signal quality. With a low signal to noise ratio, it is difficult for the radio receiver to discern the data information contained in the signal from the noise itself.Signal Strength The signal strength icon bars indicate the quality of the transmit and receive signals between your WiFi adapter and the access point.The number of vertical green bars indicates the strength of the transmit and receive signals.NOTE: The signal strength is displayed for the closest AP for networks that contains multiple APs.The signal strength ranges from excellent to out of range. The following factors affect signal strength:●Signal quality decreases with distance and is affected by metal and concrete barriers.●Metal objects can reflect signals and cause interference.●Other electrical devices can cause interference.IP Address IPv4 Address: Internet Protocol (IP) address for the current connection.IPv6 Address: The next generation IP address is backward compatible and is designed to fix data security problems with IPv4.

Data transfer is sometimes very slow. Microwave ovens, some baby monitors, cordless game controllers, and some cordless phones operate at the same radio frequency as the installed wireless card. When these devices are in use, they interfere with the wireless network. For optimum performance, keep wirelessly-connected computers at least 20 feet away from devices that operate at a frequency of 2.4 GHz.Data transfer is always very slow. Some homes and most offices are steel-framed structures. The steel in such buildings may interfere with your network's radio signals, thus causing a slowdown in the data transmission rate. Try moving your computer to different locations in the building to see if performance improves.Computers are not communicating with the network.

How do I configure roaming identity for multiple users? Configure Roaming Identity to support multiple users:If you use a Pre-logon/Common profile that requires the roaming identity to be based on the Windows logon credentials, the creator of the profile can add a roaming identity that uses %username% and %domain%. The roaming identity is parsed and the appropriate log on information is substituted for the keywords. This allows maximum flexibility in configuring the roaming identity while allowing multiple users to share the profile. Please see your authentication server user guide for directions about how to format a suitable roaming identity. Possible formats are: %domain%\%username%%username%@%domain%%username%@%domain%.com%username%@mynetwork.comIf Roaming Identity is cleared, %domain%\%username% is the default. NOTE:Credentials: This user name and domain must match the user name that is set in the authentication server by the administrator prior to client authentication. The user name is case-sensitive. This name specifies the identity supplied to the authenticator by the authentication protocol operating over the TLS tunnel. This user identity is securely transmitted to the server only after an encrypted channel has been verified and established.Back to TopBack to ContentsTrademarks and Disclaimers

Either you have moved the adapter outside the coverage area of the access point or the access point's device address information has been changed.●AP load balancing: The access point ended its association with the adapter based on the access point's inability to maintain communication with all its associated adapters. Too many adapters are trying to communicate with one access point.●AP RSSI too low: The Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is too low to maintain an association with the adapter. You may have moved outside the coverage area of the access point or the access point could have increased its data rate.●Poor channel quality: The quality of the channel is low and caused the adapter to look for another access point.●AP dropped mobile unit: The access point dropped a computer from the list of recognizable mobile devices. The computer must re-associate with an access point.Miscellaneous: Use this information to determine if an association with a different access point increases performance and helps maintain the highest possible data rate. ●Received beacons: Number of beacons received by the adapter.●Percent missed beacons: Percent value for missed beacons.●Percent transmit errors: The percentage of data transmissions that had errors.●Signal Strength: Signal strength of the access point that the adapter communicates with displayed in decibels (dBm).

About Wireless NetworksA Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) connects computers without network cables. Instead, computers use radio communications to send data between each other. In a WLAN, a radio communications device called an access point or wireless router connects network computers and provides Internet or network access. You can communicate directly with other wireless computers, or connect to an existing network through a wireless access point. When you set up your WiFi adapter, you select the operating mode for the kind of wireless network you want. You can use your Intel® PRO/Wireless Network Connection adapter to connect to other similar wireless devices that comply with the 802.11 standard for wireless networking. In this Help, a wireless network is also referred to as a WiFi network. What do I need to Set up a Wireless Network? The most common type of wireless network is an infrastructure network. To set up an infrastructure network, you need the following:
●A wireless router.●A wireless network adapter for each computer that you want to connect to the wireless network.●If you want internet access for your WLAN, you also need broadband internet service such as cable or DSL. This includes a broadband modem.Wireless Networking Basics What is a Wireless Network Management Utility?The WiFi connection utility is a wireless network management utility. It helps you manage your wireless connections. It can help you initially set up your wireless connections and then easily manager those connections, opening and closing connections and managing security as required. Some computers also ship with Microsoft Windows Zero Configuration, which is another wireless network management utility, and you should not use both of these tools. This is because network settings you create with one utility are not applied if the other utility is managing wireless connections. We recommend that you pick one tool to manage wireless connections, and stay with that.See Use Microsoft Windows* to Manage WiFi* and also see Get Connected.Network Name (SSID) Every wireless local area network (WLAN) uses a unique network name to identify the network. This name is also called the Service Set Identifier (SSID). When you set up your WiFi adapter, you specify the SSID. If you want to connect to an existing WLAN, you must use the name for that network. If you set up your own WLAN, you can make up your own name and use it on each computer. The name can be up to 32 characters long and contain letters and numbers. The SSID or network name is assigned at the access point or wireless router.ProfilesA profile is used to manage your computer's connection to a WLAN. A profile is a collection of settings that determines how your computer connects to the WLAN. These settings (the profile) are saved on your computer and are used each time you connect to that WLAN. The profile includes all of the network information and security settings. Different profiles are created for different WLANs. For your computer, each WLAN will have its own profile to manage connection to that WLAN. Using the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software, the profiles for your computer are displayed in the Profiles list. With the utility, you can create, edit, and remove profiles.Security
Some WLANs are open or unsecure networks, and some are secure networks. A secure WLAN limits who can access the network. There are different levels methods of security. The WiFi connection utility can easily help you set up a security method for your WLAN.Common security methods for WLANs use keys or passwords, where the computer requesting access must provide the key or password to get access. WLANs can also use encryption to encode the data. With encryption, before a computer transmits data it uses a secret encryption key to scramble the data. The receiving computer uses this same key to unscramble the data. If you connect to an existing network, use the encryption key provided by the administrator of the wireless network. If you set up your own network, you can make up your own key and use it on each computer. The WiFi connection utility can help you do this. The security method used by your computer to get WLAN access is stored in the profile. See Security for more helpful information.Identify a Wireless NetworkDepending on the size and components of a wireless network, there are different ways to identify a wireless network:●The Network Name or Service Set Identifier (SSID): Identifies a wireless network. All wireless devices on the network must use the same SSID. This is probably the most common method.●Basic Service Set (BSS): Consists of two or more wireless nodes, or stations, which have recognized each other and have established communications.●Broadcast SSID: An access point can respond to computers sending probe packets with the broadcast SSID. If this feature is enabled on the access point, any wireless user can associate with the access point by using a blank (null) SSID.●Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID): A unique identifier for each wireless device. The BSSID is the Ethernet MAC address of the device.●Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID): A special case of SSID used to identify a wireless network that includes access points.●Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS): A mode of operation in an 802.11 system that allows direct communication between 802.11 devices without the need to set up a communication session with an access point.●Independent Basic Service Set Identifier (IBSSID): A special case of SSID used to identify a network of wireless computers configured to communicate directly with one another without using an access point.Select a Wireless Network ModeWireless networks can operate with or without access points, depending on the number of users in the network. Infrastructure mode uses access points to allow wireless computers to send and receive information. Wireless computers transmit to the access point, the access point receives the information and rebroadcasts it to other computers. The access point can also connect to a wired network or to the Internet. Multiple access points can work together to provide coverage over a wide area.
How do I turn my Radio on and off?You will need to turn the WiFi adapter radio off (and on) on different occasions. For example, you may be required to turn the radio off when boarding an airplane. You can also turn it off to conserve battery power.There are three methods to turn the radio on and off:●Using the wireless radio hardware switch (may not be present on all computers).●Using the WiFi On / WiFi Off button in the WiFi connection utility.●Using Windows.Remember that to connect to wireless networks, the wireless radio needs to be turned back on. If you are unable to connect to a wireless network, verify that your radio is turned on at both the hardware switch and the WiFi On / WiFi Off button in the WiFi connection utility.See Turn the Radio on or off for more information.Back to TopBack to ContentsTrademarks and Disclaimers

Provides the help information for the current page.Set up Data Encryption and AuthenticationIn a home WiFi network you can use a variety of simple security procedures to protect your wireless connection. These include:●Enable Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA*).●Change your password.●Change the network name (SSID).Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption provides protection for your data on the network. WPA uses an encryption key called a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) to encrypt data before transmission. Enter the same password in all of the computers and access point in your home or small business network. Only devices that use the same encryption key can access the network or decrypt the encrypted data transmitted by other computers. The password automatically initiates the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or AES-CCMP protocol for the data encryption process.Network Keys
WEP encryption provides two levels of security:●64-bit key (sometimes referred to as 40-bit)●128-bit key (also known as 104-bit)For improved security, use a 128-bit key. If you use encryption, all wireless devices on your wireless network must use the same encryption keys.You can create the key yourself and specify the key length (64-bit or 128-bit) and key index (the location that a specific key is stored). The greater the key length, the more secure the key. When the length of a key is increased by one character, the number of possible keys doubles.Key Length: 64-bitPass phrase (64-bit): Enter five (5) alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z. Hex key (64-bit): Enter 10 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F. Key Length: 128-bitPass phrase (128-bit): Enter 13 alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z. Hex key (128-bit): Enter 26 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F.With WEP data encryption, wireless station can be configured with up to four keys (the key index values are 1, 2, 3, and 4). When an access point or a wireless station transmits an encrypted message that uses a key stored in a specific key index, the transmitted message indicates the key index that was used to encrypt the message body. The receiving access point or wireless station can then retrieve the key that is stored at the key index and use it to decode the encrypted message body.Set up a Client with Open Authentication and No Data Encryption (None)CAUTION: WiFi networks using no authentication or encryption are highly vulnerable to access by unauthorized users.On the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility main window, use one of the following methods to connect to a device to device network:●●The Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility automatically detects the security

Click OK to return to the Profiles list.Set up a Client with WPA*-Personal (TKIP) or WPA2*-Personal (TKIP) Security SettingsWPA* Personal Mode requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access point and clients. This PSK authenticates a user's password or identifying code, on both the client station and the access point. The access point performs the authentication. WPA Personal Mode is targeted to home and small business environments. WPA2* is the second generation of WPA security that provides enterprise and consumer wireless users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some corporate and government users.NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2-AES security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting.

The same password entered in the access point needs to be used on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network.NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are interoperable.7. Wireless Security Password (Encryption Key): Enter a text phrase with eight to 63 characters. Verify that the network key matches the password in the wireless access point.8. Click OK to return to the Profiles list.Set up a Client with WPA*-Personal (AES-CCMP) or WPA2*-Personal (AES-CCMP) Security SettingsWi-Fi Protected Access (WPA*) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA enforces 802.1X authentication and key-exchange and only works with dynamic encryption keys. For a home user or small business, WPA-Personal uses either Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2-AES security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting.To create a WiFi network profile with WPA2*-Personal network authentication and AES-CCMP
data encryption:1. On the WiFi connection utility main window, double-click an infrastructure network from the WiFi Networks list or select the network and click Connect.2. If these are being transmitted, the Profile name and WiFi Network Name (SSID) should display on the General Settings screen. Network (Infrastructure) should be selected as the Operating Mode. Click Next to open the Security Settings.3. Select Personal Security.4. Security Settings: Select WPA2-Personal (AES-CCMP) to provide this level of security in the small network or home environment. It uses a password, also called a pre-shared key (PSK). The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network.AES-CCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol) is a newer method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. Choose AES-CCMP as the data encryption method whenever strong data protection is important.If your Wireless access point or router supports WPA2-Personal, then you should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. The same password entered into the access point needs to be used on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network.NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are interoperable.5. Password: Wireless Security Password (Encryption Key): Enter a text phrase (length is between eight and 63 characters). Verify that the network key used matches the wireless access point key.6.

You can easily protect your home and small business network from nearly all forms of unauthorized access with the security methods described in this section.AuthenticationAuthentication is the process of identifying and approving a request from a client (usually a
laptop) to access a network at a network access point. Once authentication is completed and access is granted, the client has access to the network.EncryptionYou can select encryption algorithms to encrypt the information and data that is sent across your wireless network. Only computers equipped with pre-shared keys can encrypt and decrypt the data being transmitted. Encryption keys are available with two levels of security, 64-bit and 128-bit. Use 128-bit keys for greater security.SSID BroadcastingA simple way to improve network security is to set your network access point to notbroadcast the Service Set Identifier (SSID). The SSID is needed to gain access. Only those computers with knowledge of the SSID can access the network. (This is not set at the adapter using the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility, it is set at the access point.)Personal Security Methods Open and Shared Network AuthenticationIEEE 802.11 supports two types of network authentication methods: Open System and Shared Key.●When open authentication is used, any wireless station can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication management request that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station or access point grants any request for authentication. Open authentication allows any device to gain network access. If no encryption is enabled on the network, any device that knows the Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the access point can gain access to the network.●When shared key authentication is used, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel. You can share this secret key via a wired Ethernet connection, or by physically using a USB memory stick or CD. Shared key authentication requires that the client configure a static WEP key. The client access is granted only if it passes a challenge-based authentication.WEPWired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) uses encryption to help prevent unauthorized reception of
wireless data. WEP uses an encryption key to encrypt data before transmitting it. Only computers that use the same encryption key can access the network and decrypt the data transmitted by other computers. WEP encryption provides for two levels of security, using a 64-bit key (sometimes referred to as 40-bit) or a 128-bit key (also known as 104-bit). For stronger security, you should use a 128-bit key. If you use encryption, all wireless devices on your wireless network must use the same encryption keys.With WEP data encryption, a wireless station can be configured with up to four keys (the key index values are 1, 2, 3, and 4). When an access point (AP) or a wireless station transmits an encrypted message that uses a key stored in a specific key index, the transmitted message indicates the key index that was used to encrypt the message body. The receiving AP or wireless station can then retrieve the key that is stored at the key index and use it to decode the encrypted message bodyBecause the WEP encryption algorithm is vulnerable to network attacks, you should consider using WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal security.WPA-PersonalWPA-Personal Mode is targeted to home and small business environments. WPA Personal requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access point and clients. No authentication server is needed. The same password entered at the access point needs to be used on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network. Security depends on the strength and secrecy of the password. The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network. If your wireless access point or router supports WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal then you should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. WPA-Personal makes available the TKIP and AES-CCMP data encryption algorithms.WPA2-PersonalWPA2-Personal requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access point and clients. No authentication server is needed. The same password entered at the access point needs to be used on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network. Security depends on the strength and secrecy of the password. The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network. WPA2 is an improvement over WPA and implements the full IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 is backward compatible with WPA. WPA2-Personal makes available the TKIP and AES-CCMP data encryption algorithms.NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are interoperable.802.1X Authentication (Enterprise Security)
This section describes security common used by larger companies.OverviewWhat is Radius? How 802.1X Authentication Works802.1X Features OverviewThe 802.1X authentication is independent of the 802.11 authentication process. The 802.11 standard provides a framework for various authentication and key-management protocols. There are different 802.1X authentication types and each provides a different approach to authentication, but all employ the same 802.11 protocol and framework for communication between a client and an access point. In most protocols, after completion of the 802.1X authentication process, the client receives a key that it uses for data encryption. See How802.1X authentication works for more information. With 802.1X authentication, an authentication method is used between the client and a server (for example a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server) connected to the access point. The authentication process uses credentials, such as a user's password, that are not transmitted over the wireless network. Most 802.1X types support dynamic per-user, per-session keys to strengthen the key security. The 802.1X authentication benefits from the use of an existing authentication protocol known as the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).The 802.1X authentication for wireless networks has three main components: ●The authenticator (the access point)●The supplicant (the client software)●The authentication serverThe 802.1X authentication security initiates an authorization request from the wireless client to the access point, which authenticates the client to an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) compliant RADIUS server. This RADIUS server may authenticate either the user (via passwords or certificates) or the system (by MAC address). In theory, the wireless client is not allowed to join the networks until the transaction is complete. (Not all authentication methods use a RADIUS server. WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal use a common password that must be entered at the access point and at all devices requesting access to the network.)There are several authentication algorithms used with 802.1X. Some examples are: EAP-TLS,EAP-TTLS, Protected EAP (PEAP), and EAP Cisco Wireless Light Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP). These are all methods for the wireless client to identify itself to the RADIUS server. With RADIUS authentication, user identities are checked against databases. RADIUS constitutes a set of standards that addresses Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA). RADIUS includes a proxy process to validate clients in a multi-server environment. The IEEE 802.1X standard provides a mechanism for controlling
and authenticating access to port-based 802.11 wireless and wired Ethernet networks. Port-based network access control is similar to a switched local area network (LAN) infrastructure that authenticates devices attached to a LAN port and prevents access to that port if the authentication process fails.What is RADIUS?RADIUS is the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, an Authorization, Authentication, and Accounting (AAA) client-server protocol that is used when a AAA dial-up client logs in or out of a Network Access Server. Typically, a RADIUS server is used by Internet Service Providers (ISP) to perform AAA tasks. AAA phases are described as follows:●Authentication phase: Verifies a user name and password against a local database. After credentials are verified, the authorization process begins.●Authorization phase: Determines whether a request is allowed access to a resource. An IP address is assigned for the dial-up client.●Accounting phase: Collects information on resource usage for the purpose of trend analysis, auditing, session-time billing, or cost allocation.How 802.1X Authentication WorksFollowing is a simplified description of how 802.1X authentication works.1. A client sends a "request to access" message to an access point. The access point requests the identity of the client.2. The client replies with its identity packet, which is passed along to the authentication server.3. The authentication server sends an "accept" packet to the access point.4. The access point places the client port in the authorized state and data traffic is allowed to proceed.802.1X FeaturesThe following authentication methods are supported on Windows* XP:●802.1X supplicant protocol support●Support for the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) - RFC 2284●Supported Authentication Methods on Windows* XP: ❍EAP TLS Authentication Protocol - RFC 2716 and RFC 2246❍EAP Tunneled TLS (TTLS)❍Cisco LEAP

WPA2 is an improvement over WPA and implements the full IEEE 802.11i standard.
Data EncryptionAES-CCMPAdvanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol. The new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. Choose AES-CCMP as the data encryption method whenever strong data protection is important. AES-CCMP is available with WPA/WPA2 Personal/Enterprise network authentication.NOTE: Some security solutions may not be supported by your computer's operating system and may require additional software or hardware as well as wireless LAN infrastructure support. Check with your computer manufacturer for details.TKIPTemporal Key Integrity Protocol provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check, and a rekeying mechanism. TKIP is available with WPA/WPA2 Personal/Enterprise network authentication.CKIPSee CKIP.WEPWired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) uses encryption to help prevent unauthorized reception of wireless data. WEP uses an encryption key to encrypt data before transmitting it. Only computers that use the same encryption key can access the network and decrypt the data transmitted by other computers. Enterprise WEP is not exactly the same as personal WEP, in that you can select Open network authentication and then click Enable 802.1X and be able to choose from all client authentication types. The selection of authentication types are not available under personal WEP.Authentication Types TLSA type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which
use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide mutual authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is transmitted.TTLSThese settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Security), the client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-encrypted channel between the client and server. The client can use another authentication protocol. Typically, password-based protocols challenge over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS implementations today support all methods defined by EAP, as well as several older methods (PAP,CHAP,MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP-V2). TTLS can easily be extended to work with new protocols by defining new attributes to support new protocols.PEAPPEAP is a new Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) IEEE 802.1X authentication type designed to take advantage of server-side EAP-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and to support various authentication methods, including users' passwords, one-time passwords, and Generic Token Cards.LEAPA version of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). Light Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) is a proprietary extensible authentication protocol developed by Cisco that provides a challenge-response authentication mechanism and dynamic key assignment.EAP-SIMExtensible Authentication Protocol Method for GSM Subscriber Identity (EAP-SIM) is a mechanism for authentication and session key distribution. It uses the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). EAP-SIM uses a dynamic session-based WEP key, which is derived from the client adapter and RADIUS server, to encrypt data. EAP-SIM requires you to enter a user verification code, or PIN, for communication with the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. A SIM card is a special smart card that is used by Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) based digital cellular networks. RFC 4186 describes EAP-SIM.EAP-AKAEAP-AKA (Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for UMTS Authentication and Key Agreement) is an EAP mechanism for authentication and session key distribution, using the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Subscriber Identity Module (USIM). The USIM card is a special smart card used with cellular networks to validate a given user
with the network.Authentication ProtocolsPAPPassword Authentication Protocol is a two-way handshake protocol designed for use with PPP. Password Authentication Protocol is a plain text password used on older SLIP systems. It is not secure. Only available for TTLS Authentication Type.CHAPChallenge Handshake Authentication Protocol is a three-way handshake protocol that is considered more secure than Password Authentication Protocol. Only available for TTLSauthentication Type.MS-CHAP (MD4)Uses a Microsoft version of RSA Message Digest 4 challenge-and-reply protocol. This only works on Microsoft systems and enables data encryption. To select this authentication method causes all data to be encrypted. Only available for TTLS authentication type.MS-CHAP-V2Introduces an additional feature not available with MS-CHAP-V1 or standard CHAP authentication, the change password feature. This feature allows the client to change the account password if the RADIUS server reports that the password has expired. Available for TTLS and PEAP authentication types.Generic Token Card (GTC) Carries user-specific token cards for authentication. The main feature in GTC is Digital Certificate/Token Card-based authentication. In addition, GTC includes the ability to hide user name identities until the TLS encrypted tunnel is established, which provides additional confidentiality that user names are not being broadcast during the authentication phase. Only available for PEAP authentication type.TLSThe TLS protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client
to provide mutual authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is transmitted. Only available for PEAP authentication type.Cisco FeaturesCisco LEAP Cisco LEAP (Cisco Light EAP) is a server and client 802.1X authentication through a user-supplied logon password. When a wireless access point communicates with a Cisco LEAP-enabled RADIUS (Cisco Secure Access Control Server [ACS]), Cisco LEAP provides access control through mutual authentication between client WiFi adapters and the wireless networks and provides dynamic, individual user encryption keys to help protect the privacy of transmitted data.Cisco Rogue Access Point Security FeatureThe Cisco Rogue access point feature provides security protection from an introduction of a rogue access point that could mimic a legitimate access point on a network in order to extract information about user credentials and authentication protocols that could compromise security. This feature only works with Cisco's LEAP authentication. Standard 802.11 technology does not protect a network from the introduction of a rogue access point. See LEAP Authentication for more information.802.11b and 802.11g Mixed Environment Protection ProtocolSome access points, for example Cisco 350 or Cisco 1200, support environments in which not all client stations support WEP encryption; this is called Mixed-Cell Mode. When these wireless networks operate in "optional encryption" mode, client stations that join in WEP mode, send all messages encrypted, and stations that use standard mode send all messages unencrypted. These access points broadcast that the network does not use encryption but allow clients that use WEP mode. When "Mixed-Cell" is enabled in a profile, it lets you connect to access points that are configured for "optional encryption."CKIPCisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is Cisco proprietary security protocol for encryption in 802.11 media. CKIP uses the following features to improve 802.11 security in infrastructure mode:●Key Permutation (KP)●Message Sequence Number
NOTE: CKIP is not used with WPA/WPA2 Personal/Enterprise network authentication.NOTE: CKIP is only supported through the use of the WiFi connection utility on Windows* XP.Fast Roaming (CCKM)When a wireless LAN is configured for fast reconnection, a LEAP-enabled client device can roam from one access point to another without involving the main server. Using Cisco Centralized Key Management (CCKM), an access point configured to provide Wireless Domain Services (WDS) takes the place of the RADIUS server and authenticates the client without perceptible delay in voice or other time-sensitive applications.Radio ManagementWhen this feature is enabled your WiFi adapter provides radio management information to the Cisco infrastructure. If the Cisco Radio Management utility is used on the infrastructure it configures radio parameters, detects interference and rogue access points.EAP-FASTEAP-FAST, like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic. The main difference is that EAP-FAST does not use certificates to authenticate. Provisioning in EAP-FAST is negotiated solely by the client as the first communication exchange when EAP-FAST is requested from the server. If the client does not have a pre-shared secret Protected Access Credential (PAC), it is able to initiate a provisioning EAP-FAST exchange to dynamically obtain one from the server.EAP-FAST documents two methods to deliver the PAC: manual delivery through an out-of-band secure mechanism and automatic provisioning.●Manual delivery mechanisms are any delivery mechanism that the administrator of the network considers sufficiently secure.●Automatic provisioning establishes an encrypted tunnel to protect the authentication of the client and the delivery of the PAC to the client. This mechanism, while not as secure as a manual method may be, is more secure than the authentication method used in LEAP.The EAP-FAST method is divided into two parts: provisioning and authentication. The provisioning phase involves the initial delivery of the PAC to the client. This phase only needs to be performed once per client and user.Back to Top

Before connection, you are prompted for your Windows logon credentials.NOTE: For LEAP profiles, this option is listed as UseWindows logon user name and password.●Prompt each time I connect: Prompt for your user name and password every time you log onto the wireless network.NOTE: For LEAP profiles, this option is listed as Prompt for the user name and password.●Use the following: Use your saved credentials to log onto the network. ❍User Name: This user name must match the user name that is set in the authentication server by the administrator prior to client authentication. The user name is case-sensitive. This name specifies the identity supplied to the authenticator by the authentication protocol operating over the TLS tunnel. This identity is securely transmitted to the server only after an encrypted channel has been established.❍Domain: Name of the domain on the authentication server. The server name identifies a domain or one of its sub-domains (for example,
zeelans.com, where the server is blueberry.zeelans.com).❍Password: Specifies the user password. The password characters appear as asterisks. This password must match the password that is set in the authentication server.❍Confirm Password: Reenter the user password.❍Roaming Identity: A Roaming Identity may be populated in this field or you can use %domain%\%username% as the default format for entering a roaming identity. When 802.1X Microsoft IAS RADIUS is used as an authentication server, the server authenticates the device using the Roaming Identity from Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software, and ignores the AuthenticationProtocol MS-CHAP-V2 user name. Microsoft IAS RADIUS accepts only a valid user name (dotNet user) for the Roaming Identity. For all other authentication servers, the Roaming Identity is optional. Therefore, it is recommended to use the desired realm (for example, anonymous@myrealm) for the Roaming Identity rather than a true identity.NOTE: Contact your administrator to obtain the domain name.NOTE: For LEAP profiles, this option is listed as Use the following user name and password.Server Options Select one of the following credential retrieval methods:●Validate Server Certificate: Select to verify the server certificate.Certificate Issuer: The server certificate received during TLS message exchange must be issued by this certificate authority (CA).

●Server name must match the specified entry exactly: When selected, the server name must match exactly the server name found on the certificate. The server name should include the complete domain name (for example, Servername.Domain name). The server name can include all characters, including special characters.●Domain name must end with the specified entry:When selected, the server name identifies a domain, and the certificate must have a server name that belongs to this domain or to one of its subdomains (for example, zeelans.com, where the server is blueberry.zeelans.com).NOTE: These parameters should be obtained from the administrator.Certificate Options To obtain a certificate for TLS authentication, select one of the following:●Use my smart card: Select if the certificate resides on a smart card.●Use the certificate issued to this computer: Selects a certificate that resides in the machine store.●Use a user certificate on this computer: Click Select to choose a certificate that resides on this computer.NOTE: The Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility supports machine certificates. However, they are not displayed in the certificate listings.Notes about Certificates: The specified identity should match the Issued to identity in the certificate and should be registered on the authentication server (for example, RADIUS server) that is used by the authenticator. Your certificate must be valid with respect to the authentication server. This requirement depends on the authentication server and generally means that the authentication server must know the issuer of your certificate as a Certificate Authority. Use the same user name you used to log in when the certificate was installed.Back View the prior page in the Profile Wizard.Next View the next page in the Profile Wizard.

These profiles are shared by all users on this computer. However, end users cannot modify these profiles. They can only be modified from the Administrator Tool, which is password protected. There are two types of Administrator Profiles: Persistent or Pre-logon/Common. You can also configure Voice over IP (VoIP)settings for export to a soft-phone application.Single Sign-On Considerations for Windows Vista* and Windows* 7 The following information applies only to Single Sign-On (SSO) profiles created for Windows Vista* and Windows* 7* clients. ●Persistent profiles are not supported. Persistent profiles are ignored during package import.
●Saved credentials in profiles that are both Persistent and Pre-logon/Common are not supported.❍Saved credential profiles become prompt for credentials profiles.❍Profiles that are Persistent-plus-Pre-logon/Common, use machine credentials, with an exception of TTLS profiles.❍Profiles that are Persistent-plus-Pre-logon/Common with TTLS, are not supported. Only Pre-logon/Common with TTLS profiles are supported.●There is no pre-logon support for TLS profiles (including profiles with TLS as tunnel method).❍No connection attempt during user log-in; TLS uses user certificates after user logon.❍Machine certificates for user connection is not supported.❍Machine certificate setting will become user certificate setting on import.For specific information about each profile type, see the following:●SSO TTLS profiles●SSO EAP-SIM profiles●SSO EAP-AKA profiles●SSO LEAP profiles●SSO EAP-FAST profiles●SSO PEAP-GTC profiles●SSO PEAP-MS-CHAP-V2●SSO PEAP-TLS profiles●SSO TLS profilesPersistent Profile Persistent profiles are applied at boot time or whenever no one is logged on the computer. After a user logs off, a Persistent profile maintains a wireless connection either until the computer is turned off, or a different user logs on.NOTE: Persistent profiles are not supported for Windows Vista* or Windows* 7. See SingleSign-on Considerations for Windows Vista* and Windows* 7.Persistent profile key points:●The following types of profiles can be created as Persistent Profiles: ❍All profiles that do not require 802.1X authentication (for example, Open authentication with WEP encryption, Open authentication with no encryption).❍All profiles with 802.1X authentication that have the credentials saved: LEAP or EAP-FAST.
❍Profiles with security settings that include "Use the following user name and password" option.❍Profiles that use the machine certificate to authenticate.❍WPA-Enterprise profiles that do not use a user certificate.❍WPA-Personal profiles.●Persistent profiles are applied at system power up and after a user logs off.NOTE: The WiFi connection utility supports machine certificates. However, they are not displayed in the certificate listings.Create a Persistent Profile for a Client Package Following are general instructions for this type of Administrator profile. For more detailed information and restrictions, see Create Profiles for Windows*.1. For Windows* XP users: on the Tools menu, click Administrator Tool.2.

The new profile is saved. This new profile has the same properties as the original.Edit a Persistent Profile for a Package 1. Select the profile.2. Click Properties.3. Edit the properties of the new profile using the same instructions given under Create a Persistent Profile.Pre-logon/Common Profiles Pre-logon/Common profiles are applied once a user logs on. If Single Sign On support is installed, the connection is made prior to the Windows log-on sequence (Pre-logon/Common). If Single Sign On support is not installed, the profile is applied once the user session is active. Pre-logon/Common profiles always appear at the top of the Profiles list. Users can still prioritize profiles that they have created but they cannot reprioritize Pre-logon/Common profiles. Because these profiles appear at the top of the Profiles list, the WiFi connection utility automatically attempts to connect to the Administrator profiles first before any user-created profiles.NOTE: Only administrators can create or export Pre-logon/Common profiles.Pre-logon Connect key points are: ●Pre-logon Connect is active only at the Windows log on.●The following types of profiles can be created as Pre-logon/Common profiles: ❍802.1X PEAP,TTLS or EAP-FAST profiles that use either the "Use Windows Logon user name and password" or "Use the following user name and password" credentials when configuring the profile's security settings.❍LEAP profiles that use the "Prompt for the user name and password." credentials when configuring the profile's security settings.❍802.1X PEAP or TTLS profiles with user or machine certificates (the user must have administrative rights to use machine certificates).❍TLS profiles that use digital certificates to verify the identity of a client and a server.❍EAP-SIM profiles that use a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card to validate your credentials with the network.❍All non-802.1X (Open and WEP) Common or User Based profiles.●A Pre-logon/Common profile is applied at Windows user log-on time.Pre-logon/Common Connection Status
Pre-logon/Common profiles support is installed during a Custom install of the WiFi connection utility. See Install or Uninstall the Single Sign On Feature for more information.NOTE: If the Single Sign On or Pre-logon Connect features are not installed, an administrator is still able to create Pre-logon/Common profiles for export to a user's computer.The following describes how the Pre-logon Connect feature functions from system power-up. The assumption is that a saved profile exits. This saved profile has valid security settings marked with "Use Windows Logon user name and password" that are applied at the time of Windows log on.1. After a system power-up, enter your Windows log on domain, user name, and password.2. Click OK. The Pre-logon/Common Profile Status page displays the progress of the network connection. After the WiFi adapter is connected to the network access point, the Status page closes and the Windows user logs on. ❍If the corresponding access point rejects your credentials during the Common connection, the profile credentials prompt you for your user credentials.❍Enter your credentials.❍Click OK. The profile is applied and the Status page displays the progress of the connection status until you are logged onto Windows.❍Click Cancel on the Credentials page to select another profile.NOTE: A user certificate can only be accessed by a user that has been authenticated on the computer. Therefore, a user should log onto the computer once (using either a wired connection, alternate profile or local log in) before using a Pre-logon/Common profile that authenticates with a user certificate.When you log off, any wireless connection is disconnected and a Persistent profile (if one is available) is applied. Under certain circumstances, it is desirable to maintain the current connection (for example, if user-specific data needs to be uploaded to the server post-logoff or when roaming profiles are used). Create a profile that is marked as both Pre-logon/Common and Persistent to achieve this functionality. If such a profile is active when the user logs off, the connection is maintained.Create a Pre-logon/Common Profile for a Client Package Following are general instructions for this type of Administrator profile. For more detailed information and restrictions, see Create Profiles for Windows*.1. For Windows* XP users: on the Tools menu, click Administrator Tool.2.

The following sections describe how to use the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility to set up the required security settings for your WiFi adapter. See Personal Security.It also provides information about how to configure advanced security settings for your WiFi adapter. This requires information from a systems administrator (corporate environment) or advanced security settings on your access point (for home users). See Enterprise Security.For general information about security settings, See Security Overview.Set up Data Encryption and AuthenticationIn a home wireless network you can use a variety of simple security procedures to protect your wireless connection. These include:●Enable Wi-Fi Protected Access* (WPA).●Change your password.●Change the network name (SSID).Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption provides protection for your data on the network. WPA uses an encryption key called a pre-shared key (PSK) to encrypt data before transmission. Enter the same password in all of the computers and access point in your home or small business network. Only devices that use the same encryption key can access the network or decrypt the encrypted data transmitted by other computers. The password automatically initiates the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or AES-CCMP protocol for the data encryption process.Network KeysWEP encryption provides two levels of security:●64-bit key (sometimes referred to as 40-bit)●128-bit key (also known as 104-bit)For improved security, use a 128-bit key. If you use encryption, all wireless devices on your wireless network must use the same encryption keys.You can create the key yourself and specify the key length (64-bit or 128-bit) and key index (the location that a specific key is stored). The greater the key length, the more secure the key.Key Length: 64-bit
Pass phrase (64-bit): Enter five (5) alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z. Hex key (64-bit): Enter 10 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F.Key Length: 128-bitPass phrase (128-bit): Enter 13 alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z. Hex key (128-bit): Enter 26 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F.With WEP data encryption, wireless station can be configured with up to four keys (the key index values are 1, 2, 3, and 4). When an access point or a wireless station transmits an encrypted message that uses a key stored in a specific key index, the transmitted message indicates the key index that was used to encrypt the message body. The receiving access point or wireless station can then retrieve the key that is stored at the key index and use it to decode the encrypted message body.Set up a Client with No Authentication and No Data EncryptionCAUTION: WiFi networks using no authentication or encryption are highly vulnerable to access by unauthorized users.On the WiFi connection utility main page, select one of the following methods to connect to an infrastructure network:●Double-click an infrastructure network in the WiFi Networks list.●Select an infrastructure network in the WiFi Networks list. Click Connect. The WiFi connection utility automatically detects the security settings for the WiFi adapter.If there is no authentication required, the network connects without a prompt to enter any log-on credentials. Any wireless device with the correct network name (SSID) is able to associate with other devices in the network.To create a profile for a WiFi network connection with no encryption:1.  Click Profiles on the WiFi connection utility main window.2.  On the Profiles list, click Add to open the wireless profile General Settings.3. Profile Name: Enter a descriptive profile name.4. WiFi Network Name (SSID): Enter the name of your wireless network.5. Operating Mode:6.  Click Next to open the Security Settings.7. Personal Security is selected by default.8. Security Settings: The default setting is None, which indicates that there is no security on this wireless network.9.  Click OK. The profile is added to the Profiles list and connects to the wireless network.
Set up a Client with WEP 64-bit or WEP 128-bit Data EncryptionWhen WEP data encryption is enabled, a network key or password is used for encryption.A network key is provided for you automatically (for example, it might be provided by your wireless network adapter manufacturer), or you can enter it yourself and specify the key length (64-bit or 128-bit), key format (ASCII characters or hexadecimal digits), and key index (the location where a specific key is stored). The greater the key length, the more secure the key.To add a network key for a Device to Device network connection:1.  On the WiFi connection utility main window, double-click a Device to Devicenetwork in the WiFi Networks list or select the network and click Connect.2.  Click Profiles to access the Profiles list.3.

Key Index: Change the Key Index to set up to four passwords.3. Click OK to return to the Profiles list.To add more than one password:1. Select the Key Index number: 1, 2, 3, or 4.2. Enter the Wireless Security Password.3. Select another Key Index number.4. Enter another Wireless Security Password.Set up a Client with WPA*-Personal (TKIP) or WPA2*-Personal (TKIP) Security SettingsWPA* Personal Mode requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access point and clients. This PSK authenticates a user's password or identifying code, on both the client station and the access point. An authentication server is not needed. WPA Personal Mode is targeted to home and small business environments.WPA2* is the second generation of WPA security that provides enterprise and consumer wireless users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some corporate and government users.NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2-AES security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting.To configure a profile with WPA-Personal network authentication and TKIP data encryption:1. On the WiFi connection utility main window, double-click an infrastructure network in the WiFi Networks list or select the network and click Connect.2. Click Profiles to access the Profiles list.3. Click Properties to open the wireless profile General Settings. The Profile name and
WiFi Network Name (SSID) display. Network (Infrastructure) should be selected as the Operating Mode.4. Click Next to open the Security Settings.5. Select Personal Security.6. Security Settings: Select WPA-Personal (TKIP) to provide security to a small business network or home environment. A password, called a pre-shared key (PSK), is used. The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network.If your wireless access point or router supports WPA2-Personal, then you should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network. The same password entered in the access point needs to be used on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network.NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are interoperable.7. Wireless Security Password (Encryption Key): Enter a text phrase with eight to 63 characters. Verify that the network key matches the password in the wireless access point.8. Click OK to return to the Profiles list.Set up a Client with WPA*-Personal (AES-CCMP) or WPA2*-Personal (AES-CCMP) Security SettingsWi-Fi Protected Access (WPA*) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA enforces 802.1X authentication and key-exchange and only works with dynamic encryption keys. For a home user or small business, WPA-Personal uses either Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).NOTE: For the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN adapter, to achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2-AES security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting.To create a profile with WPA2*-Personal network authentication and AES-CCMP data encryption:1. On the WiFi connection utility main window, double-click an infrastructure network from the WiFi Networks list or select the network and click Connect.2. If these are being transmitted, the Profile name and WiFi Network Name (SSID) should display on the General Settings screen. Network (Infrastructure) should be selected as the Operating Mode. Click Next to open the Security Settings.3. Select Personal Security.
4. Security Settings: Select WPA2-Personal (AES-CCMP) to provide this level of security in the small network or home environment. It uses a password, also called a pre-shared key (PSK). The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network.AES-CCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol) is a newer method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. Choose AES-CCMP as the data encryption method whenever strong data protection is important.If your Wireless access point or router supports WPA2-Personal, then you should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. The same password entered into the access point needs to be used on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network.NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are interoperable.Some security solutions may not be supported by your computer's operating system. You may require additional software or hardware as well as wireless LAN infrastructure support. Contact your computer manufacturer for details.5. Password: Wireless Security Password (Encryption Key): Enter a text phrase (length is between eight and 63 characters). Verify that the network key used matches the wireless access point key.6.

The profile is added to the Profiles list and connects to the wireless network.Create a Profile with Shared Network AuthenticationWhen shared key authentication is used, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel. Shared key authentication requires that the client configure a static WEP or CKIP key. The client access is granted only if it passes a challenge-based authentication. CKIP provides stronger data encryption than WEP, but not all operating systems and access points support it.NOTE: While shared key would appear to be the better option for a higher level of security, a known weakness is created by the clear text transmission of the challenge string to the client. If someone uses a software tool to detect the challenge string, the shared authentication key can be easily reverse-engineered. Therefore, open authentication (with data encryption) is actually more secure.To create a profile with shared authentication:1. Click Profiles on the WiFi connection utility main window. Or if you are acting as the administrator, open the Administrator Tool.2. On the Profiles list/tab, click Add to open the Create WiFi Profile General Settings.3.

Create a Profile with WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal Network AuthenticationWi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA-Personal enforces key-exchange and only works with dynamic encryption keys. If your wireless access point or router supports WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal, then you should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. For personal or home networks without a RADIUS or AAA server, use Wi-Fi Protected Access Personal.●WPA-Personal: A wireless security method that provides strong data protection and prevents unauthorized network access for small networks. It uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or AES-CCMP encryption and protects against unauthorized network access through the use of a pre-shared key (PSK).●WPA2-Personal: A follow-on wireless security method to WPA that provides stronger data protection and prevents unauthorized network access for small networks.NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are interoperable.Some security solutions may not be supported by your computer's operating system and may require additional software or certain hardware as well as wireless LAN infrastructure support.

Authentication Protocol: Select either GTC,MS-CHAP-V2 (Default), or TLS. See AuthenticationProtocols.2. User Credentials: Following are available options for User Credentials. The available credentials may not match those listed here, depending on whether you are creating a profile on Windows* XP, or are creating an IT Administrator profile for Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows* 7. More information is provided later in this section. ❍For GTC, User Credentials can be set to Use Windows logon, or Prompt each time I connect or Use the following, (which requires the Use Name, Domain, and Password). Available options will also differ depending on this whether is a Persistent or non-Persistent profile (selected on the General Settings window for Administrator profiles). ❍For MS-CHAP-V2, User Credentials can be set to Use Windows logon, or Prompt each time I connect or Use the following, (which requires the Use Name, Domain, and Password). Available options will also differ depending on this whether is a Persistent or non-Persistent profile (selected on the General Settings window for Administrator profiles). For Persistent IT Administrator profiles, you can set User Credentials to Use the following or Use secured password. The secured password uses machine credentials and is not tied to any specific user.❍For TLS, for a single user profile in Windows* XP, User Credentials can be set to Use Windows logon, or Prompt each time I connect or Use the following, (which requires the Use Name, Domain, and Password). For non-persistent administrator profiles, (deselected on the General
Settings window), you can choose one of the following: Use my smart card,Use the certificate issued to this computer, or Use a user certificate on this computer. For Persistent IT Administrator profiles, User Credentials can be set to Use the certificate issued to this computer.3. Roaming Identity: A Roaming Identity may be populated in this field or you can use %domain%\%username% as the default format for entering a roaming identity.When 802.1X Microsoft IAS RADIUS is used as an authentication server, the server authenticates the device using the Roaming Identity from Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software, and ignores the Authentication Protocol MS-CHAP-V2 user name. Microsoft IAS RADIUS accepts only a valid user name (dotNet user) for the Roaming Identity. For all other authentication servers, the Roaming Identity is optional. Therefore, it is recommended to use the desired realm (for example, anonymous@myrealm) for the Roaming Identity rather than a true identity.Configure Roaming Identity to Support Multiple Users:If you use a Pre-logon/Common profile that requires the roaming identity to be based on the Windows logon credentials, the creator of the profile can add a roaming identity that uses %username% and %domain%. The roaming identity is parsed and the appropriate log on information is substituted for the keywords. This allows maximum flexibility in configuring the roaming identity while allowing multiple users to share the profile.Please see your authentication server user guide for directions about how to format a suitable roaming identity. Possible formats are:%domain%\%user_name%%user_name%@%domain%%user_name%@%domain%.com%user_name%@mynetwork.comIf Roaming Identity is blank, %domain%\%username% is the default.Notes about the credentials: This user name and domain must match the user name that is set in the authentication server by the administrator prior to client authentication. The user name is case-sensitive. This name specifies the identity supplied to the authenticator by the authentication protocol operating over the TLS tunnel. This user identity is securely transmitted to the server only after an encrypted channel has been verified and established.Authentication ProtocolsThis parameter specifies the authentication protocols that can operate over the TTLS tunnel.

Authentication Type: Select EAP-FAST to be used with this connection.Step 1 of 3: EAP-FAST ProvisioningWith CCXv4, EAP-FAST supports two modes for provisioning:●Server-Authenticated Mode: Provisioning inside a server authenticated TLS tunnel.●Server-Unauthenticated Mode: Provisioning inside an unauthenticated TLS tunnel.NOTE: Server-Authenticated Mode provides significant security advantages over Server-Unauthenticated Mode even when EAP-MS-CHAP-V2 is being used as an inner method. This mode protects the EAP-MS-CHAP-V2 exchanges from potential Man-in-the-Middle attacks by verifying the server’s authenticity before exchanging MS-CHAP-V2. Therefore, Server-Authenticated Mode is preferred whenever it is possible. EAP-FAST peer must use Server-Authenticated Mode whenever a certificate or public key is available to
authenticate the server and ensure the best security practices.Provisioning of Protected Access Credentials (PAC):EAP-FAST uses a PAC key to protect the user credentials that are exchanged. All EAP-FAST authenticators are identified by an authority identity (A-ID). The local authenticator sends its A-ID to an authenticating client, and the client checks its database for a matching A-ID. If the client does not recognize the A-ID, it requests a new PAC.NOTE: If the provisioned Protected Access Credential (PAC) is valid, the WiFi connection utility does not prompt the user for acceptance of the PAC. If the PAC is invalid, the WiFi connection utility fails the provisioning automatically. A status message is displayed in the Wireless Event Viewer that an administrator can review on the user's computer.1. Verify that Disable EAP-FAST Enhancements (CCXv4) is not selected. Allow unauthenticated provisioning and Allow authenticated provisioning are selected by default. Once a PAC is selected from the Default Server, you can deselect any of these provisioning methods.2. Default Server:None is selected as the default. Click Select Server to select a PAC from the default PAC authority server or select a server from the Server group list. The EAP-FAST Default Server (PAC Authority) selection page opens.NOTE: Server groups are only listed if you have installed an Administrator Package that contains EAP-FAST Authority ID (A-ID) Group settings.PAC distribution can also be completed manually (out-of-band). Manual provisioning enables you to create a PAC for a user on an ACS server and then import it into a user's computer. A PAC file can be protected with a password, which the user needs to enter during a PAC import.3. To import a PAC: a. Click Import to import a PAC from the PAC server.b. Click Open.c. Enter the PAC password (optional).d. Click OK closes this page. The selected PAC is used for this wireless profile.EAP-FAST CCXv4 enables support for the provisioning of other credentials beyond the PAC currently provisioned for tunnel establishment.

Click OK.5. Select the profile on the WiFi Networks list.6. Click Connect. When prompted, enter the user name, domain and one-time password (OTP).7. Click OK.MS-CHAP-V2. This parameter specifies the authentication protocol operating over the PEAP tunnel.1. Authentication Protocol: Select MS-CHAP-V2.2. Select the user credentials: Use Windows logon,Prompt each time I connect, or Use the following.3. Roaming Identity: A Roaming Identity may be populated in this field or you can use %domain%\%username% as the default format for entering a roaming identity.When 802.1X Microsoft IAS RADIUS is used as an authentication server, the server authenticates the device using the Roaming Identity from Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software, and ignores the Authentication Protocol MS-CHAP-V2 user name. Microsoft IAS RADIUS accepts only a valid user name (dotNet user) for the Roaming Identity. For all other authentication servers, the Roaming Identity is optional. Therefore, it is recommended to use the desired realm (for example, anonymous@myrealm) for the Roaming Identity rather than a true identity.Step 3 of 3: EAP-FAST Server
Authenticated-TLS-Server Provisioning Mode is supported using a trusted CA certificate, a self-signed server certificate, or server public keys and GTC as the inner EAP method.1. Select one of the following credential retrieval methods: Validate Server Certificate or SpecifyServer or Certificate Name.2. Click OK to close the security settings.EAP-FAST User SettingsNOTE: If an Administrator Package to be exported to a user's computer does not include the Enable CCXv4 Administrator Tool Application Setting, only EAP-FAST User Settings will be available for configuration.To set up a client with EAP-FAST authentication:1. Click Profiles on the WiFi connection utility main window. Or if you are acting as the administrator, open the Administrator Tool.2. On the Profile page, click Add to open the Create WiFi Profile General Settings.3. WiFi Network Name (SSID): Enter the network identifier.4. Profile Name: Enter a descriptive profile name.5. Operating Mode: Click Network (Infrastructure). (This parameter is set to Infrastructure if you are using the Administrator Tool.)6. Administrator Profile Type: Select Persistent or Pre-logon/Common. (This step applies only if you are using the Administrator Tool.7. Click Next to open the Security Settings.8. Click Enterprise Security.9. Network Authentication: Select WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise.10. Data Encryption: Select one of the following: ❍TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a rekeying mechanism.❍AES-CCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol) is used as the data encryption method whenever strong data protection is important. AES-CCMP is recommended.11. Enable 802.1X: Selected.12. Authentication Type: Select EAP-FAST to be used with this connection.13. Click Cisco Options to select Allow Fast Roaming (CCKM), which enables the client WiFi adapter for fast secure roaming.Step 1 of 3: EAP-FAST Provisioning (User Settings) EAP-FAST uses a PAC key to protect the user credentials that are exchanged. All EAP-FAST authenticators are identified by an authority identity (A-ID). The local authenticator sends its A-ID to an authenticating client, and the client checks its database for a matching A-ID. If the client does not recognize the A-ID, it requests a new PAC.NOTE: If the provisioned Protected Access Credential (PAC) is valid, the WiFi connection utility does not prompt the user for acceptance of the PAC. If the PAC is invalid, the WiFi connection utility fails the provisioning automatically. A status message is displayed in the Wireless Event Viewer that an administrator can review on the user's computer.1. Leave unchecked Disable EAP-FAST Enhancements (CCXv4).
2. Allow authenticated provisioning and Allow unauthenticated provisioning are both checked.3. Default Server: None selected is the default. Click Select Server to select a PAC from the default PAC authority server. The Protected Access Credentials selection page opens.NOTE: Server groups are only listed if you have installed an Administrator Package that contains EAP-FAST Authority ID (A-ID) Group settings.PAC distribution can also be completed manually (out-of-band). Manual provisioning lets you create a PAC for a user on an ACS server and then import it into a user's computer. A PAC file can be protected with a password, which the user needs to enter during a PAC import.4. To import a PAC:a. Click Import to import a PAC from the PAC server.b. Click Open.c. Enter the PAC password (optional).d. Click OK to close this page. The selected PAC is used for this wireless profile.5. Click Next.6. If this is not a Pre-logon/Common profile, then click Next and jump to Step 3 of 3: EAP-FAST Server.7. If this is a Pre-logon/Common profile, or if you are not using the Administrator Tool to create this profile, proceed to the next step.Step 2 of 3: EAP-FAST Additional Information1. Authentication Protocol: Select MS-CHAP-V2 or GTC2. User Credentials: Select Use Windows Logon or Use the following.3. If you selected Use the following, then enter the User Name, Domain, Password, and Confirm Password.4. Enter the Roaming Identity: %DOMAIN%\%USERNAME5. Click Next.Step 3 of 3: EAP-FAST Server1. Click Validate Server Certificate if desired and select the Certificate Issuer from the drop down menu. The default selection is Any Trusted CA.2.

Back to ContentsGlossary of TermsTerm Definition802.11 The 802.11 standard refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN technology. The 802.11 specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless clients and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS).802.11a The 802.11a standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps and an operating frequency of 5 GHz. The 802.11a standard uses the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission method. Additionally, the 802.11a standard supports 802.11 features such as WEP encryption for security.802.11b 802.11b is an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless networks and provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b uses only DSSS. Throughput data rate 5+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.802.11g The 802.11g standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps, an operating frequency of 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11g networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi* networks.802.11n A task group of the IEEE 802.11 committee has defined a new draft specification that provides for increased throughput speeds of up to 540 Mbps. The specification provides for Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, or using multiple receivers and multiple transmitters in both the client and access point, to achieve improved performance. The specification is expected to be approved in the late 2008 timeframe.802.1X 802.1X is the IEEE Standard for Port-Based Network Access Control. This is used in conjunction with EAP methods to provide access control to wired and wireless networks.AAA Server Authentication, Authorization and Accounting Server. A system to control access to computer resources and track user activity.Access Point (AP) A device that connects wireless devices to another network. For example, a wireless LAN, Internet modem or others.
AES-CCMP Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol is the new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. The AES algorithm is capable of using cryptographic keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in 128-bit blocks. AES-CCMP uses the AES block cipher, but restricts the key length to 128 bits. AES-CCMP incorporates two sophisticated cryptographic techniques (counter mode and CBC-MAC) to provide improved security between the mobile client and the access point.Authentication Verifies the identity of a user logging onto a network. Passwords, digital certificates, smart cards and biometrics are used to prove the identity of the client to the network. Passwords and digital certificates are also used to identify the network to the client.Availablenetwork One of the networks listed under Available networks on the Wireless Networks tab of the Wireless Network Connection Properties (Windows* XP environment). Any wireless network that is broadcasting and is within receiving range of the WiFi adapter appears on the list.BER Bit Error Rate. The ratio of errors to the total number of bits being sent in a data transmission from one location to another.Bit Rate The total number of bits (ones and zeros) per second that a network connection can support. Note that this bit rate will vary, under software control, with different signal path conditions.BroadcastSSID Used to allow an access point to respond to clients on a wireless network by sending probes.BSSID A unique identifier for each wireless client on a wireless network. The Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is the Ethernet MAC address of each adapter on the network.CA(CertificateAuthority)A corporate certification authority implemented on a server. In addition, Internet Explorer's certificate can import a certificate from a file. A trusted CA certificate is stored in the root store.CCX (Cisco CompatibleeXtension)Cisco Compatible Extensions Program ensures that devices used on Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure meet the security, management and roaming requirements.Certificate Used for client authentication. A certificate is registered on the authentication server (for example, RADIUS server) and used by the authenticator.CKIP Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is a Cisco proprietary security protocol for encryption in 802.11 media. CKIP uses a key message integrity check and message sequence number to improve 802.11 security in infrastructure mode. CKIP is Cisco's version of TKIP.Clientcomputer The computer that gets its Internet connection by sharing either the host computer's connection or the access point's connection.
DSSS Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio transmission. Incompatible with FHSS.EAP Short for Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP sits inside of Point-to-Point Protocol's (PPP) authentication protocol and provides a generalized framework for several different authentication methods. EAP is supposed to head off proprietary authentication systems and let everything from passwords to challenge-response tokens and public-key infrastructure certificates all work smoothly.EAP-AKA EAP-AKA (Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for UMTS Authentication and Key Agreement) is an EAP mechanism for authentication and session key distribution, using the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Subscriber Identity Module (USIM). The USIM card is a special smart card used with cellular networks to validate a given user with the network.EAP-FAST EAP-FAST, like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic. The main difference is that EAP-FAST does not use certificates to authenticate.Provisioning in EAP-FAST is negotiated solely by the client as the first communication exchange when EAP-FAST is requested from the server. If the client does not have a pre-shared secret Protected Access Credential (PAC), it can request to initiate a provisioning EAP-FAST exchange to dynamically obtain one from the server.EAP-FAST documents two methods to deliver the PAC: manual delivery through an out-of-band secure mechanism, and automatic provisioning.●Manual delivery mechanisms can be any delivery mechanism that the administrator of the network feels is sufficiently secure for their network.●Automatic provisioning establishes an encrypted tunnel to protect the authentication of the client and the delivery of the PAC to the client. This mechanism, while not as secure as a manual method may be, is more secure than the authentication method used in LEAP.The EAP-FAST method can be divided into two parts: provisioning, and authentication. The provisioning phase involves the initial delivery of the PAC to the client. This phase only needs to be performed once per client and user.EAP-GTC The EAP-GTC (Generic Token Card) is similar to the EAP-OTP except with hardware token cards. The request contains a displayable message, and the response contains the string read from the hardware token card.EAP-OTP EAP-OTP (One-Time Password) is similar to MD5, except it uses the OTP as the response. The request contains a displayable message. The OTP method is defined in RFC 2289.
EAP-SIM Extensible Authentication Protocol-Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-SIM) authentication can be used with: ●Network Authentication types: Open, Shared, and WPA*-Enterprise, WPA2*-Enterprise.●Data Encryption types: None, WEP and CKIP.A SIM card is a special smart card that is used by Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) based digital cellular networks. The SIM card is used to validate your credentials with the networkEAP-TLS A type of authentication method that uses EAP and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates that use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management.EAP-TTLS A type of authentication method that uses EAP and Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS). EAP-TTLS uses a combination of certificates and another security method such as passwords.Encryption Scrambling data so that only the authorized recipient can read it. Usually a key is needed to interpret the data.FHSS Frequency-Hop Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio transmission. Incompatible with DSSS.File and printer sharing A capability that allows a number of people to view, modify, and print the same file(s) from different computers.Fragmentationthreshold The threshold at which the wireless adapter breaks the packet into multiple frames. This determines the packet size and affects the throughput of the transmission.GHz(Gigahertz) A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000,000 cycles per second.Host computer The computer that is directly connected to the Internet via a modem or network adapter.Infrastructurenetwork A wireless network centered around an access point. In this environment, the access point not only provides communication with the wired network, but also mediates wireless network traffic in the immediate neighborhood.IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an organization involved in defining computing and communications standards.InternetProtocol (IP) addressThe address of a computer that is attached to a network. Part of the address designates which network the computer is on, and the other part represents the host identification.LAN (Local Area Network) A high-speed, low-error data network covering a relatively small geographic area.
LEAP (Light ExtensibleAuthenticationProtocol)A version of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). LEAP is a proprietary extensible authentication protocol developed by Cisco that provides a challenge-response authentication mechanism and dynamic key assignment.MAC (Media AccessControl)AddressA hardwired address applied at the factory. It uniquely identifies network hardware, such as a wireless adapter, on a LAN or WAN.Mbps(Megabits-per-second)Transmission speed of 1,000,000 bits per second.MHz(Megahertz) A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000 cycles per second.MIC (Michael) Message Integrity Check (commonly called Michael).MS-CHAP An EAP mechanism used by the client. Microsoft Challenge Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) Version 2, is used over an encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel.ns(Nanosecond) 1 billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a second.OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing.Openauthentication Allows any device network access. If encryption is not enabled on the network, any device that knows the Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the access point can gain access to the network.PEAP Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft protocol sponsored by Microsoft, Cisco, and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypted tunnel similar to the tunnel used in secure web pages (SSL). Inside the encrypted tunnel, a number of other EAP authentication methods can be used to perform client authentication. PEAP requires a TLS certificate on the RADIUS server, but unlike EAP-TLS there is no requirement to have a certificate on the client. PEAP has not been ratified by the IETF. The IETF is currently comparing PEAP and TTLS (Tunneled TLS) to determine an authentication standard for 802.1X authentication in 802.11 wireless systems. PEAP is an authentication type designed to take advantage of server-side EAP-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and to support various authentication methods, including user passwords and one-time passwords, and Generic Token Cards.Peer-to-Peermode A wireless network structure that allows wireless clients to communicate directly with each other without using an access point.Power save mode The state in which the radio is periodically powered down to conserve power. When the portable computer is in Power Save mode, received packets are stored in the access point until the wireless adapter wakes up.
Preferrednetwork One of the networks that has been configured. Such networks are listed under Preferred networks on the Wireless Networks tab of the Wireless Network Connection Properties (Windows* XP environment).RADIUS(RemoteAuthenticationDial-In User Service)RADIUS is an authentication and accounting system that verifies user's credentials and grants access to requested resources.RF (Radio Frequency) The international unit for measuring frequency is Hertz (Hz), which is equivalent to the older unit of cycles per second. One MegaHertz (MHz) is one million Hertz. One GigaHertz (GHz) is one billion Hertz. For reference: the standard US electrical power frequency is 60 Hz, the AM broadcast radio frequency band is 0.55 -1.6 MHz, the FM broadcast radio frequency band is 88-108 MHz, and microwave ovens typically operate at 2.45 GHz.Roaming Movement of a wireless node between two micro cells. Roaming usually occurs in infrastructure networks built around multiple access points. Current wireless network roaming is only supported in the same subnet of a network.RTS threshold The number of frames in the data packet at or above which an RTS/CTS (request to send/clear to send) handshake is turned on before the packet is sent. The default value is 2347.Shared key An encryption key known only to the receiver and sender of data. This is also referred to as a pre-shared key.SIM(SubscriberIdentityModule)A SIM card is used to validate credentials with the network. A SIM card is a special smart card used by GSM-based digital cellular networks.Silent mode Silent Mode Access Points or Wireless Routers have been configured to not broadcast the SSID for the wireless network. This makes it necessary to know the SSID in order to configure the wireless profile to connect to the access point or wireless router.Single Sign On Single Sign On feature set allows the 802.1X credentials to match your Windows log on user name and password credentials for wireless network connections.SSID (Service Set Identifier) SSID or network name is a value that controls access to a wireless network. The SSID for your wireless network card must match the SSID for any access point that you want to connect with. If the value does not match, you are not granted access to the network. Each SSID may be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long and is case-sensitive.
stealth A stealth access point is one that has the capability and is configured to not broadcast its SSID. This is the WiFi network name that appears when a DMU (Device Management Utility, such as Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility) scans for available wireless networks. Although this can enhance wireless network security, it is commonly considered a weak security feature. To connect to a stealth access point, a user must specifically know the SSID and configure their DMU accordingly. The feature is not a part of the 802.11 specification, and is known by differing names by various vendors: closed mode, private network, SSID broadcasting.TKIP(TemporalKey Integrity Protocol)Temporal Key Integrity protocol improves data encryption. Wi-Fi Protected Access* uses its TKIP. TKIP provides important data encryption enhancements including a re-keying method. TKIP is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless networks. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless networks. TKIP provides per packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.TLS(TransportLayerSecurity)A type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide mutual authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is transmitted.TTLS(TunneledTransportLayerSecurity)These settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS, the client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-encrypted channel between the client and server. The client can use another authentication protocol. Typically password-based protocols challenge over this encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS implementations today support all methods defined by EAP, as well as several older methods (CHAP, PAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP-V2). TTLS can easily be extended to work with new protocols by defining new attributes to support new protocols.WEP (Wired EquivalentPrivacy)Wired Equivalent Privacy, 64- and 128-bit (64-bit is sometimes referred to as 40-bit). This is a low-level encryption technique designed to give the user about the same amount of privacy that he would expect from a LAN. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide security by data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.
WEP Key Either a pass phrase or hexadecimal key. The pass phrase must be 5 ASCII characters for 64-bit WEP or 13 ASCII characters for 128-bit WEP. For pass phrases, 0-9, a-z, A-Z, and ~!@#$%^&*()_+|`-={}|[]\:";'<>?,./ are all valid characters. The hex key must be 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 64-bit WEP or 26 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 128-bit WEP.Wi-Fi*(WirelessFidelity)Is meant to be used generically when referring of any type to 802.11 network, whether 802.11b, 802.11a, or dual-band.WiMAX WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications technology aimed at providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard. The name WiMAX was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June 2001 to promote conformance and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL." Wirelessrouter A stand-alone wireless hub that allows any computer that has a wireless network adapter to communicate with another computer within the same network and to connect to the Internet.WLAN(WirelessLocal-AreaNetwork)A type of local-area network that uses high-frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate between nodes.WPA* (Wi-Fi ProtectedAccess)This is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's 802.11i standard upon its completion. WPA consists of RC4 and TKIP and provides support for BSS (Infrastructure) mode only. WPA and WPA2 are compatible.WPA2* (Wi-Fi ProtectedAccess 2)This is the second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi specification. WPA2 consists of AES encryption, pre-authentication and PMKID caching. It provides support for BSS (Infrastructure) mode and IBSS mode. WPA and WPA2 are compatible.
WPA-Enterprise Wi-Fi Protected Access-Enterprise applies to corporate users. A new standards-based, interoperable security technology for wireless LAN (subset of IEEE 802.11i draft standard) that encrypts data sent over radio waves. WPA is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP as follows: ●Improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP uses a hashing algorithm to scramble the encryption keys and adds an integrity-checking feature to ensure that the keys have not been tampered with.●User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer's hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's 802.11i standard upon its completion.WPA-Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access-Personal provides a level of security in the small network or home environment.WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key)WPA-PSK mode does not use an authentication server. It can be used with the data encryption types WEP or TKIP. WPA-PSK requires configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK). You must enter a pass phrase or 64 hex characters for a pre-shared key of length 256-bits. The data encryption key is derived from the PSK.Back to TopBack to ContentsTrademarks and Disclaimers
