3. The last and most prevalent use is multiple APs connected to a
wired network and operating off that network’s DHCP server to
provide a wider coverage area for wireless devices, enabling the
devices to “roam” freely about the entire site. The APs have to use
the same SSID. This is the topology of choice today.
Bridging
The 3e-528 can also function as a bridge. There are a number of bridg-
ing congurations supported, including the following popular congura-
tions:
• Point-to-point bridging of 2 Ethernet Links;
• Point-to-multipoint bridging of several Ethernet links;
• Repeater mode (wireless client to wireless bridge.)
Default Conguration
The 3e-528's default conguration is an Access Point/Bridge with
FIPS 140-2 submode enabled. The video card and the three bridges need
to be congured before being able to access the system.
Data Encryption and Security
The 3e-528 Wireless Video Server includes advanced wireless security
features. You have a choice of no security, Static WEP, WPA, AES/3DES,
depending on your mode of operation. Static WEP gives you a choice of
64-bit or 128-bit encryption. WPA includes the option of using a WPA pre-
shared key or, for the enterprise that has a Radius Server installed, con-
guration to use the Radius Server for key management with either TKIP
or AES-CCMP. Bridging encryption is established between 3e-528’s and
includes use of AES-ECB or 3DES encryption (approved by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for U.S. Government and
DoD agencies).
