The dependencies between authentication method and Authentication encryption scheme are shown here: Especially on wireless networks it is easy to gain physical access to the network. Open Hence it is important to make sure that only the intended group of people is able Open authentication lets users attach to networks quickly as there is no access to use the network and any resources attached to it. The identity of the users has control and encryption may be turned off. The amount of configuration is therefore to be checked and this is called authentication. minimal. This mode is ideal for an ad-hoc network created for instance during a meeting to exchange data or collaborate on a document. If encryption is set to “None”, the files for entering WEP keys are hidden. Shared Shared authentication using WEP encryption provides weak security. If this method has been selected, the user can either enter four shared keys. > The user can enter up to four different WEP keys. All entered keys must be of the same length or the configuration is invalid. If the configuration is invalid, the triggers a warning. 26 getting started > The user can enter a key either as a sequence of hexadecimal digits or as a string of characters as defined by the format buttons above the key fields. > As long as the user enters a key and the key’s length is not correct, an appropriate warning is shown. WPA-PSK If the user selects authentication via WPA-PSK, he has to enter a so-called pre-shared key. Such keys contain between 8 and 63 characters. The user may enter these characters in an appropriate password field. The text of the key is shown masked unless the check box “Clear text” is turned on. Note WPA-PSK is a stronger encryption method than WEP, users are advised to use getting started 27 If the user did not enter the SIM-PIN when the main application started, the main application prompts the user for the SIM-PIN using the usual dialog for entering a SIM. The main application can simply check whether the SIM-PIN is needed when the user tries to open a connection with EAP/SIM as its authentication method and prompt the users as appropriate. - EAP/TokenCard This protocol does not need any additional parameters. - EAP/TLS This protocol uses certificates for authentication. The user must select a personal certificate for this method to work. If there is no certificate selected, this triggers a warning. The only additional parameter for this method is whether the server’s certificate should be verified. - EAP/TLS This protocol uses a certificate for authentication. WPA-PSK whenever possible. The amount of configuration is essentially the same while WPA-PSK is more secure without the need for a dedicated authentication server. My Options WPA-PSK On the WPA settings pane, the user selects the method of authentication used when the device communicates with a RADIUS server. RADIUS serves are typically used in a corporate environment. > The method of authentication is selected from the “Main Protocol” pop-up menu. The following bullets describe in more detail additional parameters that might be necessary for the different methods: Using the GTMM My Options button you can add shortcuts to your favorite applications. - EAP/LEAP This protocol does not use any additional parameters.

Selecting an operator switches the GlobeTrotter to manual registration mode; it will try to register with the selected operator only. To go back to automatic registration, you must click Automatic. 32 getting started troubleshooting 33 Diagnostic Utilities This section points out the basic problems that could occur when you are installing A general diagnostic tool which will check the basic settings like installation, and using the card. There is a list of symptoms and possible actions you can take in network availability, signal strength… any of the following situations below. Not enough disk space for installation. There is not enough space to complete the installation on the selected drive. Select another drive for installation or delete unnecessary files to free up additional disk space. If there are several hard disk drives in the system and you decide to install the program on a drive other than the one where the Windows system files are located, disk space is required on both drives. The program will always need to place some files in the Windows directory. Setup does not accept the target directory. The program can only be installed on a local drive. If the path to the directory is over 80 characters, it will not be accepted. Select another directory or shorten the names of the subdirectories. The GlobeTrotter card cannot be installed or used. The Interrupt Request (IRQ) resources may be in conflict. Check the GlobeTrotter resources from Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager. If there is a resource conflict, consult the Windows online help on changing the resource settings. Connection History, another advanced diagnostic utilities is accessible from The GlobeTrotter card is not properly inserted. within GTMM.
