Adding or Modifying Network Properties
Whether you add a network by clicking Add or modify network properties by
clicking Properties, the dialogs display the same settings. Figure 12 is a sample
configuration dialog.
Figure 12: Sample Add Network Dialog
The dialog has three configuration categories:
 Network—Use these settings to provide a name for the network that you are
configuring, to configure the method used to connect to the network, and to
specify the encryption method to use.
 Authentication—Use these settings to specify whether you will use an
authentication profile or WEP keys to authenticate.
 Pre-configured keys (WEP)—Use these settings to specify the WEP keys.
Each network that you configure in OAC requires some or all of the network settings
from the categories listed above. The settings required depend on whether the
network that you are configuring uses authentication and encryption.
NOTE: (FE Only) If you use the OAC FE edition, the Add Network and Network
Properties dialog shows a FIPS mode required check box (Figure 12) next to the
Encryption method field. If you are not using a FIPS license, the check box does
not appear. If you require FIPS encryption each time that you connect to this
network, select FIPS mode required. If not, leave the box cleared (no check
mark). Contact your administrator before altering this setting.
