n
Channel: The frequency channel that the wirelessradio will use. Select Auto-Scan to have the
device scan all frequencies until it findsone with an available access point or wirelessnetwork
it can join.
n
Transmit Power: Thetransmit power level in dBm.
n
Enable Short Preamble: Enables transmission of wirelessframesusing short preambles. If
Short Preamble issupported in thewirelessnetwork, enabling it can boost overall throughput.
Wi-Fi security settings
Usethe Wi-Fi Security Settingspage to specify the wirelesssecurity settingsthat the wirelessnetwork
uses. Multiple security and authentication modesmay be chosen depending on the configuration of
the accesspoint or wirelessnetwork. Thewirelessdevice will automatically select and determine the
authentication and encryption methodsto use while associating to thewirelessnetwork. If the
wirelessnetwork doesnot use security and uses an Open Network architecture, these settingsdo not
need to be modified.
Note that WPAsettingsrequire that the device communicate to Access Pointsand isnot valid when
the Connection Method is set to Connect to wirelesssystemsusing peer-to-peer (ad-hoc). Also,
WPApre-shared key (WPA-PSK) security is only valid when you use a specific Network Name or SSID.
n
Network Authentication: The authentication method or methodsused for wireless
communications.
l
Use any available authentication method: Enablesall of the methods. The capabilities of
the wirelessnetwork determines the actual method used.
l
Use the following selected method(s): Selects oneor more authentication methods for
wirelesscommunications.
l
Open System: UsesIEEE802.11 open system authentication to establish a connection.
l
Shared Key: Uses IEEE802.11 shared key authentication to establish a connection. At least
oneWEPkey must be specified in order to useshared key authentication.
l
WEP with 802.1x authentication: UsesIEEE802.1x authentication (EAP) to establish a
connection with an authentication server or access point. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
keys are dynamically generated to encrypt data over the wirelessnetwork.
l
WPAwith pre-shared key (WPA-PSK): Uses the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) protocol
with a pre-shared key (PSK). ThePSK is calculated using a passphrase and the network
SSID.
l
WPAwith 802.1x authentication: Usesthe WPAprotocol and IEEE802.1x authentication
(EAP) to establish a connection with an authentication server or access point. Encryption
keys are dynamically generated to encrypt data over the wirelesslink.
l
Cisco LEAP: UsesLightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) to establish a
connection with an authentication server or access point. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
keys are dynamically generated to encrypt data over the wirelesslink. Auser name and
password must be specified to use LEAP.
