WPA: WPA applies IEEE802. 1x and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless clients using an external RADIUS server. Please input the IP address of RADIUS and Shared Secret. 41 AirLive WMU-6000FS User's Manual Please refer to FAQ in Chapter 7 to get more detailed information. Advance Setting: Wireless mode: 11b/g mixed can let 11g or 11b computers both exist on the network, but the speed will be reduced. Select 11g only for maximum speed, but no 11b users will be allowed on the network. Beacon interval: This represents the amount of time between beacon transmissions. The interval tells receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in low-power mode before waking up to handle the beacon. Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. RTS Threshold: The RTS threshold specifies the packet size of an RTS transmission. This helps control traffic flow through an access point, especially one with many clients. The setting value range is from 1 to 2347, and default value is set to 2347. 42 AirLive WMU-6000FS User's Manual Fragmentation: In a network, the maximum size or length of a fragment is determined by the protocol used to transport the data. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your "Fragmentation" value within the value range of 256 to 2346, even number only. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance. DTM interval: A Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. Preamble Type: The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for communication between the Access Point and roaming wireless adapters. When enabled, the SSID of WMU-6000FS is sent to wireless enabled devices on the LAN. Press "Next" button, you could see the Wireless MAC Filtering setting. 43 AirLive WMU-6000FS User's Manual The default setting is "Disable Mac filtering", every wireless client could connect to this AP. When you select "ALL accept", the wireless clients with the MAC addresses you enter bellow will be accepted to connect to this AP, the others will be rejected. When you select "ALL Reject", the wireless clients with the MAC addresses you enter bellow will be rejected to connect to this AP, the others will be accepted. After press "Save" button, WMU-6000FS would show you this page about the wireless settings you have done. 44 AirLive WMU-6000FS User's Manual 3. 2. 2. 2 Wireless client mode Select the "Wireless client mode" and click "Go" to set up under the Wireless client mode. After entering the Wireless client mode setting, click the AP List icon to set up the AP connecting list. 45 AirLive WMU-6000FS User's Manual Click the "Scan AP" to scan the existing AP list. Select the AP you want to connect and click "Add" to set up the AP list. Select the AP you want to connect and click "Add" to set up the AP list. [. . . ] If users upgrade to service pack 1, then they can't see MD5-Challenge from EAP type list any more, but they will get a 81 AirLive WMU-6000FS User's Manual new Protected EAP (PEAP) option. Choose MD5-Challenge or Smart Card or other Certificate as the EAP type. If choosing use smart card or the certificate as the EAP type, we select to use certificate on this computer. We will change EAP type to fit the variable test condition. 82 AirLive WMU-6000FS User's Manual Figure 2: Enable IEEE 802. 1X access control 83 AirLive WMU-6000FS User's Manual Windows 2000 RADIUS server Authentication testing: 1.
