Data Encryption
AES-CCMP
Advanced 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.
TKIP
Temporal 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.
CKIP
See CKIP.
WEP
Wired 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
TLS
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
These 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.
PEAP
PEAP 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.
LEAP
A 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-SIM
Extensible 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-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.
Authentication Protocols
PAP
Password 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.
CHAP
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol is a three-way handshake protocol that is
considered more secure than Password Authentication Protocol. Only available for TTLS
authentication 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-V2
Introduces 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 broadcasted during the authentication phase.
Only available for PEAP authentication type.
TLS
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. Only available for PEAP authentication type.
Cisco Features
Cisco 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 wireless 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 Feature
The 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 Protocol
Some 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."
CKIP
Cisco 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.
Mixed-Cell Mode
Some 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 network 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
allows clients that use WEP mode to join. When Mixed-Cell is enabled in a profile, it lets you
connect to access points that are configured for "optional encryption."
Radio Management
When this feature is enabled your wireless 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-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 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

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.com
If 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.

Glossary of Terms
Term Definition
802.11 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 taskgroup of the IEEE 802.11 committee is in the process of defining a
standard for high throughput speeds of at least 100Mbps on wireless
networks. Some proposals being fielded by the taskgroup include designs
for up to 540 Mbps. Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology,
using multiple receivers and multiple transmitters in both the client and
access point to achieve improved performance is expected to form the
basis of the final specification.
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.
Ad Hoc
Network A communication configuration in which every computer has the same
capabilities, and any computer can initiate a communication session. Also
known as a peer-to-peer network, a device to device network or a
computer-to-computer network.
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.
Available
network 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 wireless 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.
Broadcast
SSID 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
(Certificate
Authority)
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
Compatible
eXtension)
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.
Client
computer 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 network
EAP-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.
Fragmentation
threshold 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.

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.
Internet
Protocol (IP)
address
The address of a computer that is attached to a network. Part of the

represents the host identification.
LAN (Local
Area Network) A high-speed, low-error data network covering a relatively small
geographic area.
LEAP (Light
Extensible
Authentication
Protocol)
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.

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.
Open
authentication 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-Peer
mode 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, receive
packets are stored in the access point until the wireless adapter wakes up.
Preferred
network 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
(Remote
Authentication

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
(Subscriber
Identity
Module)
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 wireless network
name that appears when a DMU (Device Management Utility, such
as Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi ) 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
(Temporal
Key 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
(Transport
Layer
Security)
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
(Tunneled
Transport
Layer
Security)
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
Equivalent
Privacy)
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*
(Wireless
Fidelity)
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."
Wireless
router 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
(Wireless
Local-Area
Network)
A type of local-area network that uses high-frequency radio waves rather
than wires to communicate between nodes.
WPA* (Wi-Fi
Protected
Access)
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. (Not compatible with WPA2.)
WPA2* (Wi-Fi
Protected
Access 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 (ad hoc) mode. (Not compatible with WPA.)
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.

Wireless WiFi Connection Utility main window to display the Connection Details.
Connection Details Description
Name Description
Profile Name Name of the profile.
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 quality
The 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 wireless
adapter and the access point or computer in Device to
Device (ad hoc) mode. 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. IPv6 increases the
address space from 32 to 128 bits, providing for an
unlimited number of networks and systems. It also
