Requirements and Recommendations
Wyse Aironet Wireless requirements and recommendations include the following (different
versions of a security feature require different versions of adapter firmware):
• Requires Winterm Model 3360SE or Model 3455XL with optional PCI to PCMCIA card
to use the Aironet PCMCIA adapter.
• Requires Winterm Model 3455XL with available PCI slot to use the Aironet PCI
adapter.
• LEAP (802.1X Draft 8) security feature - Requires adapter firmware version 4.13, 4.16
or 4.23.
• LEAP (802.1X Draft 10) security feature - Requires adapter firmware version 4.25 or
later. (The functionality in draft 10 is equivalent to the functionality in draft 11, the
ratified draft of the 802.1X standard.)
• MIC security feature - Requires adapter firmware version 4.23 or later. This feature is
supported automatically and does not need to be enabled on the adapter.
• CKIP security feature - Requires adapter firmware version 4.23 or later. This feature is
supported automatically and does not need to be enabled on the adapter.
• Broadcast Key Rotation Require adapter firmware version 4.23 or later. This feature is
supported automatically and does not need to be enabled on the adapter.
Important Feature Information
This section provides important information on the following features:
• Static WEP encryption support
• 802.1X LEAP (EAP Cisco Wireless) authentication support
• Load New Firmware (LNF) utility
Static WEP encryption support
For 64 or 128-bit WEP keys - With the Aironet Add-on, WEP keys saved in the Aironet
adapter's non-volatile memory will NOT be used. To use WEP encryption, administrators
must enter the WEP key at least once from the Cisco Aironet Wireless Setup - WEP
Configuration dialog screen. The newly entered WEP key will then be saved in the
permanent storage of the thin client and will be available for any Aironet adapter that is
plugged into the thin client.
802.1X LEAP (EAP Cisco Wireless) authentication support
Automatic LEAP Login - By default, LEAP credentials are saved in the thin client's volatile
storage only. The username and password remain on the client adapter until power is
removed from the adapter (typically due to the Aironet adapter being ejected or the
system powering down). Therefore, the user has to enter a username and password every
time the system is restarted.
A user option to save LEAP credentials in the permanent storage of the thin client is
provided. When this option is enabled, LEAP credentials saved in the permanent storage
of the thin client are used for LEAP authentication.
To minimize compromises in security:
• If the Automatic LEAP Login setting is NOT enabled (default) when LEAP credentials
are entered through the Wireless Login Module, LEAP credentials will NOT be saved in
the permanent storage of the thin client. Therefore, if a user enables the Automatic
