Tap the IP address tab and select either “Obtain an IP address via DHCP” or “Specify an IP address”, depending on your network configuration. If you select to specify an IP address, you need to fill out the information in the three text boxes with information from your network administrator or ISP. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the text.
Communications Configuration 5-3 Wireless Adapter Setup To communicate successfully, the internal Cisco wireless LAN adapter properties must be set to match your server’s wireless LAN adapter or wireless access points properties. To set internal Cisco wireless LAN adapter properties: 1. Tap the Start button on the task bar. 2. Select Programs and then the Wireless Utilities folder. 3. Tap Cisco Setup selection to activate setup window. 4. Enter the appropriate property selections and values.
5-4 Communications Configuration Parameter Description SSID The service set identifier (SSID) identifies the specific wireless network that you want to access. Range: You can key in up to 32 characters (case sensitive) Default: A blank field Note: If you leave this parameter blank, your client adapter can associate to any access point on the network that is configured to allow broadcast SSIDs (see the AP Radio Hardware page in the access point management system).
Communications Configuration Parameter Description Power Save Mode Sets your client adapter to its optimum power-consumption setting. Options: CAM, Fast PSP, or Max PSP Default: CAM (Constantly Awake Mode) 5-5 CAM: Keeps the client adapter powered up continuously so there is little lag in message response time. Consumes the most power but offers the highest throughput. Is recommended for desktop computers and devices that use AC power.
5-6 Communications Configuration Parameter Description Authentication Type Defines how your client adapter attempts to authenticate to an access point. Options: Open or Shared Key Default: Open Open Authentication: Allows your client adapter, regardless of its WEP settings, to associate with an access point. If LEAP is enabled on your client adapter, Open Authentication is the only available option.
Communications Configuration 5-7 Parameter Description World Mode Enables the client adapter to adopt the maximum transmit power level and the frequency range of the access point to which it is associated, provided the access point is also configured for world mode. This parameter is available only in infrastructure mode and is designed for users who travel between countries and want their client adapters to associate to access points in different regulatory domains.
5-8 Communications Configuration Parameter Description Transmit Power Defines the power level at which your client adapter transmits. This value must not be higher than that allowed by your country’s regulatory agency (FCC in the U.S., DOC in Canada, ETSI in Europe, MKK in Japan, etc.). Options: Dependent on the power table programmed into the client adapter; see the information below. Default: Max (the maximum level programmed into the client adapter and allowed by your country’s regulatory agency).
Communications Configuration 5-9 Status screen should indicate overall link status as “Good” or “Excellent”. Site survey and statistic applications are also available in the Wireless Utilities programs folder. Refer to 7 for more troubleshooting information. Overview of Security Features When you use your client adapter with Windows CE, you can protect your data as it is transmitted through your wireless network by encrypting it through the use of wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption keys.
5-10 Communications Configuration Static WEP Keys Each device within your wireless network can be assigned up to four static WEP keys. If a device receives a packet that is not encrypted with the appropriate key (as the WEP keys of all devices that are to communicate with each other must match), the device discards the packet and never delivers it to the intended receiver.
Communications Configuration 5-11 The 802.1X authentication type that is available on Windows CE devices is EAP-Cisco Wireless, or LEAP. Support for LEAP is provided not in the Windows CE operating system but in your client adapter’s firmware and the Cisco software that supports it. RADIUS servers that support LEAP include Cisco Secure ACS version 2.6 and greater, Cisco Access Registrar version1.7 and greater, and Funk Steel-Belted RADIUS version 3.0 and greater.
5-12 Communications Configuration 3. If mutual authentication is successful, the client and RADIUS server derive a dynamic, session-based WEP key that is unique to the client. 4. The RADIUS server transmits the key to the access point using a secure channel on the wired LAN. 5. For the length of a session, or time period, the access point and the client use this key to encrypt or decrypt all unicast packets that travel between them.
Communications Configuration 5-13 Message Integrity Check (MIC) MIC prevents bit-flip attacks on encrypted packets. During a bit-flip attack, an intruder intercepts an encrypted message, alters it slightly, and retransmits it, and the receiver accepts the retransmitted message as legitimate. The MIC adds a few bytes to each packet to make the packets tamper-proof.
5-14 Communications Configuration Broadcast Key Rotation EAP authentication provides dynamic unicast WEP keys for client devices but uses static broadcast, or multicast, keys. When you enable broadcast WEP key rotation, the access point provides a dynamic broadcast WEP key and changes it at the interval you select. When you enable this feature, only wireless client devices using LEAP or EAP-TLS authentication can associate to the access point.
Communications Configuration Using Static WEP 5-15 This section provides instructions for entering new static WEP keys or overwriting existing static WEP keys. Follow the procedures in the order listed below: 1. Open CEM; see below 2. View the client adapter’s current static WEP key settings; see page 5-16 3.
