17Installing and Using the Nortel Networks Wireless LAN Mobile Adapter 2202Preliminary Draft - Nortel Networks ConfidentialChapter 1OverviewNortel Networks WLAN - Mobile Adapter 2202 configuration modesYou can configure the Nortel Networks WLAN - Mobile Adapter 2202 to work in either infrastructure mode or ad hoc mode. For information on specifying the configuration mode, see “Connecting to a network” on page 40.Infrastructure (access point) modeIn infrastructure mode, devices communicate with each other through an access point (AP). In this mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other as well as with work stations, file servers, and other components on a wired network (Figure 1). When one AP is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless stations, it is referred to as a BSS (Basic Service Set). In infrastructure mode, the wireless network adapter utilizes a BSS as a station and communicates with other wireless stations and with the components in the wired network through the access point.
18 Chapter 1 Overview216669-APreliminary Draft - Nortel Networks ConfidentialFigure 1 Infrastructure modeAd hoc modeIn ad hoc mode (Figure 2), wireless network adapters work within an independent basis service set (IBSS) and all stations communicate directly with each other without using an access point (AP). Ad-hoc mode is also called peer-to-peer mode. An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each of which is equipped with a wireless adapter card, that is connected by radio signals as an independent wireless LAN. In most cases, computers in an ad hoc wireless LAN automatically detect the channel being used for the ad hoc network. When using ad hoc mode with the 2.4 GHz frequency range, you either can let the computer auto-detect the channel or manually set the channel. When manually setting the channel, all computers in the wireless LAN must be configured to the same radio channel.Desktop PC File ServerSwitchAccess PointWireless LAN Extensionto Wireless Adapters11194FANotebook with WirelessPC Card AdapterPC with WirelessPCI Adapter

47Installing and Using the Nortel Networks Wireless LAN Mobile Adapter 2202Preliminary Draft - Nortel Networks ConfidentialChapter 5Configuring network securityOverviewThis chapter explains how to use the Nortel Networks WLAN - Mobile Adapter 2202 Utility to configure network security. While using the Mobile Adapter 2202, encrypting data can protect it as it is transmitted through the wireless network.The Nortel Networks WLAN - Mobile Adapter 2202 Utility lets you use one of the following connection profile options:• WPA securityThis option enables the use of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). This option requires network administration support. This option includes the EAP (with dynamic WEP keys) security protocols: EAP and PEAP.WPA is a standards-based, interoperable security enhancement that provides data protection and access control for wireless LAN systems. It is derived from and is forward compatible with the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA leverages Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Michael message integrity check (MIC) for data protection, and 802.1X for authenticated key management.WPA supports two mutually exclusive key management types: WPA and WPA passphrase (also known as WPA-Pre Shared Key (PSK)). Using WPA, clients and the authentication server authenticate to each other using an EAP authentication method, and the client and server generate a pairwise master key (PMK). The server generates the PMK dynamically and passes it to the access point.• WPA-PSK security
48 Chapter 5 Configuring network security216669-APreliminary Draft - Nortel Networks ConfidentialThis option enables WPA passphrase security (also known as WPA-Pre Shared Key (PSK)).• 802.1x securityThis option enables 802.1x security. This option requires network administration support. This option includes the EAP (with dynamic WEP keys) security protocols: EAP and PEAP.802.1x is the standard for wireless LAN security defined by IEEE as 802.1x for 802.11, or simply 802.1x. An access point that supports 802.1x and its protocol, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), acts as the interface between a wireless client and an authentication server, such as a RADIUS server, to which the access point communicates over the wired network.• Pre-Shared Key security (static WEP)This option enables the use of up to four pre-shared (static wired equivalent privacy (WEP)) keys that are defined on both the access point and the station. These keys are stored in an encrypted format in the registry of the Windows device. When the driver loads and reads the client adapter’s registry parameters, it also finds the static WEP keys, decrypts them, and stores them in volatile memory on the adapter.If a device receives a packet that is not encrypted with the matching key, the device drops the packet and never delivers it to the intended receiver.• No securityLink encryption/decryption is disabled; no keys are installed.Authentication sequenceEnabling EAP on the access point (AP) and configuring the client adapter for EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP (EAP_GTC), or PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) authentication to the network occurs in the following sequence:1The client associates to an AP and begins authentication.2Communicating through the AP, the client and the RADIUS server complete authentication with the password (PEAP) or certificate (EAP-TLS/EAP-TTLS). The password is never transmitted during the process.
Chapter 5 Configuring network security 49Installing and Using the Nortel Networks Wireless LAN Mobile Adapter 2202Preliminary Draft - Nortel Networks Confidential3After successful authentication, the client and RADIUS server derive a dynamic WEP key that is unique to the client.4The RADIUS server transmits the key to the AP using a secure channel on the wired LAN.5For the length of the session, the AP and the client use this key to encrypt or decrypt all unicast and broadcast packets.EAP securityTo use EAP security, access the Security tab in the Profile Management window of the Mobile Adapter 2202 Utility and perform the following steps:1In the Profile Management window, click on New or Modify to edit the security settings.2Select a profile to edit, or enter a name for the new profile in the Profile Management window, and enter the SSID of the AP to which the station connects.3On the Security tab, select the WPA radio button or the 802.1x radio button depending on what type of EAP security you want to configure.4Select EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS from either the WPA EAP Type or 802.1x EAP Type drop-down menu as appropriate, depending on what you selected in step 3.5Do one of the following:• To enable EAP-TLS security, go to “Enabling EAP-TLS security.” • To enable EAP-TTLS security, go to “Enabling EAP-TTLS security.”Enabling EAP-TLS securityTo use EAP-TLS security, the machine first must have the EAP-TLS certificates downloaded on to it. See your network administrator.To enable EAP-TLS security:
50 Chapter 5 Configuring network security216669-APreliminary Draft - Nortel Networks Confidential1Once the EAP-TLS certificates are downloaded to the adapter card, select EAP-TLS from the WPA EAP Type or 802.1x EAP Type drop-down menu (Figure 34).Figure 34 EAP-TLS Security Option2Select the appropriate certificate authority from the list. The server/domain name and the login name are filled in automatically from the certificate information. Click on OK.3Click on OK to save the security settings for the profile and return to the Profile Management window.4To enable the profile, highlight the profile and click on the Activate button.Enabling EAP-TTLS securityTo use EAP-TTLS security, the machine first must have the EAP-TTLS certificates downloaded on to it. See your network administrator.EAP security uses a dynamic session-based WEP key from the client adapter and the RADIUS server for encryption, and a client certificate for authentication.
Chapter 5 Configuring network security 51Installing and Using the Nortel Networks Wireless LAN Mobile Adapter 2202Preliminary Draft - Nortel Networks ConfidentialTo enable EAP-TTLS security:1Once the EAP-TTLS certificates are downloaded to the adapter card, select EAP-TTLS from the WPA EAP Type or 802.1x EAP Type drop-down list (Figure 35). Figure 35 EAP-TTLS Security Option2Click on the Configure button. The Define EAP-TTLS Configuration window appears (Figure 36).

Otherwise, enter an EAP user name in the User Name field to use a different user name and password and start the EAP authentication process.5Click on the Advanced button and do one or more of the following:• Leave the Server name field blank for the client to accept a certificate form any server with a certificate signed by the authority listed in the Network Certificate Authority drop-down list. (recommended method)• Enter the domain name of the server from which the client will accept a certificate.• Change the login name if needed.6Click on OK to save the security settings for the profile and return to the Profile Management window.7To enable the profile, highlight the profile and click on the Activate button.
Chapter 5 Configuring network security 53Installing and Using the Nortel Networks Wireless LAN Mobile Adapter 2202Preliminary Draft - Nortel Networks ConfidentialPEAP securityTwo types of PEAP security are provided as follows:• PEAP (EAP-GTC) authentication is designed to support one-time password (OTP), the Windows NT or Windows 2000 domain, and L DAP users databases over a wireless LAN. It is based on EAP-TLS authentication but uses a password instead of a client certificate for authentication. PEAP (EAP-GTC) uses a dynamic session-based WEP key derived from the client adapter and RADIUS server to encrypt data.Networks that use an OTP user database require entering a hardware or software token password to start the PEAP (EAP-GTC) authentication process and to gain access to the network. Networks that use a Windows NT or Windows 2000 domain user database or an L DAP user database (such as NDS) require entering a username, password, and domain name in order to start the PEAP (EAP-GTC) authentication process.• The PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) authentication type is based on EAP-TLS authentication, but uses a password instead of a client certificate for authentication. PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) uses a dynamic session-based WEP key, which is derived from the client adapter and RADIUS server, to encrypt data.To use PEAP security, access the Security tab in the Profile Management window of the Mobile Adapter 2202 Utility and perform the following steps:1In the Profile Management window, click on New or Modify to edit the security settings.2Select a profile to edit, or enter a name for the new profile in the Profile Management window, and enter the SSID of the AP to which the station connects.3On the Security tab, select the WPA radio button or the 802.1x radio button depending on what type of EAP security you want to configure.4Select PEAP (EAP-GTC) or PEAP (EAP-MSCHAP V2) from either the WPA EAP Type or 802.1x EAP Type drop-down menu as appropriate, depending on what you selected in step 3.5Do one of the following:
