Introduction
Overview
Introduction
1.1
Overview

Note
1.2

For information on installing the Marvell Wireless Configuration Utility, the Marvell
client card, and the Marvell Windows driver, see the CB-85/MB-85/EC-85/MC-85
Installation Guide.
For a list of acronyms used throughout this document see Appendix B, Acronyms
and Abbreviations, on page 69.
Wireless Networks
The Marvell client cards operate similar to Ethernet cards, except that a radio replaces the wires
between communication devices. All existing applications that operate over Ethernet operate over a
Marvell wireless network without any modification or need for special wireless networking software.
The Marvell client cards support the following network technologies:

1.2.1
Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer group) mode
Access Point (AP) Infrastructure mode
Ad-Hoc Mode
In Ad-Hoc mode (also referred to as peer-to-peer mode), wireless clients send and receive
information to other wireless clients without using an AP. In comparison to Infrastructure mode, this
type of WLAN connection only contains wireless clients. Ad-Hoc mode is useful for establishing a
network where wireless infrastructure does not exist or where services are not required. Two or
more computers can establish an Ad-Hoc network when within range of one another.
Ad-Hoc mode is used to connect network computers at home or in small offices. It can also be used
to set up a temporary wireless network for meetings.
1.2.2
Infrastructure Mode
In Infrastructure mode, wireless devices communicate with other wireless devices or devices on the
LAN side wired network through APs. When communicating through wired networks, client cards
send and receive information through APs.
Access Points are typically strategically located within an area to provide optimal coverage for
wireless clients. A large WLAN uses multiple APs to provide coverage over a wide area. APs
connect to a LAN through a wired Ethernet connection. APs send and receive information from the
LAN through this wired connection. Most corporate WLANs operate in Infrastructure mode because
they require access to the wired LAN in order to use services such as file servers or printers.

Marvell Wireless Configuration Utility Overview
Security
2.3
Security
Implementing a security infrastructure to monitor physical access to WLAN networks is more difficult
than monitoring access on wired networks. Unlike wired networks where a physical connection is
required, anyone within the range of a wireless AP can send and receive frames, as well as listen for
frames being sent.
IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.1X define a set of standards and protocols for use in minimizing the
security risks on wireless networks. These include the authentication modes used to authenticate
the wireless client station and the wireless AP to be connected, complemented by different
encryption methods used for data to be transmitted over the wireless network. Four of these security
standards are as follows:

802.1X—802.1X authentication provides authenticated access to 802.11 wireless networks and
to wired Ethernet networks. 802.1X minimizes wireless network security risks by providing user
and computer identification, centralized authentication, and encryption services based on the
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm. 802.1X supports the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP). EAP allows the use of different authentication methods, such as smart cards
and certificates.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)—WEP is a basic security implementation according to the
IEEE 802.11 standard. Due to various security issues WEP encryption is vulnerable and was
therefore superseded by WPA and WPA2 encryption.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)—WPA is a security implementation based on a subset of the
802.11i standard. WPA provides enhanced security for wireless networks when used with the
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and the Message Integrity Check (MIC) algorithms.

Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)—WPA2 is the next generation Wi-Fi security, based on the
final 802.11i standard. WPA2 offers the strongest available security in the form of Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) level encryption, plus faster roaming between APs.

• Waiting for peer
Waiting for a peer station to connect to the wireless network (Ad-Hoc network
only).
Network SSID
Network SSID label (i.e., Network Name). The Network Name is a text string of up
to 32 characters.
Network Type
Type of environment connected to:
• Infrastructure Mode
In this mode, wireless clients send and receive information through APs. The
APs are strategically located within an area to provide optimal coverage for
wireless clients. A large WLAN uses multiple APs to provide coverage over a
wide area. APs can connect to a LAN through a wired Ethernet connection. APs
send and receive information from the LAN through the wired connection.
• Ad-Hoc Mode
In this mode, wireless clients send and receive information to other wireless
clients without using an AP. This type of WLAN only contains wireless clients.
Use Ad-Hoc mode to connect network computers at home or in small office, or
to set up a temporary wireless network for a meeting.
Network BSSID
Network Basic Service Set (BSS) Identifier. The BSSID is a 48-bit identity used to
identify a particular BSS within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID
is the MAC address of the AP. In Ad-Hoc networks, the BSSID is generated
randomly.

The term “IC” before the equipment certification number only signifies that the Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for
successful communication.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors
and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is
installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
