 Enhanced Security
The security features of RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 include:
• RADWIN 1000/2000/5000's AES 128-bit integrated advanced
encryption support provides enhanced air interface security for
carriers and private networks. It ensures user data protection
with one of the most sophisticated commercially available com-
bined encryption and authentication techniques, CCM/AES. This
technique combines message authentication (preventing anti-
spoofing and replay protection) with commercial encryption,
and complies with the IEEE 802.11i (phase iii) security recom-
mendations.
CCM/AES uses a symmetric 128-bit encryption key (EK), and a
nonce, and provides both message encryption and authenticat-
ing signature. The nonce mechanism enables the receiver to
remember already received genuine messages and reject all
replayed messages.
• Initial encryption and authentication is based on a user-defined
master key (Link Password). While standard Wireless LAN
encrypts only the Ethernet Payload, the AES encrypts both the
source and destination MAC addresses.
• In addition to normal login access, Read or Write Community
access is available at login
RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 Link
The RADWIN 1000/2000 point-to-point solution is a wireless communication
link. RADWIN 5000 is a point-to-multipoint topology solution. Typically each
side of the link is comprised of an Outdoor Unit (ODU) and antenna and an
Indoor Unit (IDU) or PoE device as shown in figure 1-4 below.
The link is managed by the SNMP-based RADWIN Manager application.
The IDU and the ODU are connected by a CAT5e cable that carries the ser-
vice traffic and power.
