Appendix C

PC and Server

Configuration

Overview

All wireless stations need to have settings that match the wireless access point. These settings

depend on the mode in which the access point is being used.

• If using WEP or WPA2-PSK, it is only necessary to ensure that each wireless station's

settings match those of the wireless access point, as described below.

• For 802.1x modes, configuration is much more complex. The RADIUS server must be

configured correctly, and setup of each wireless station is also more complex.

Using WEP

For each of the following items, each wireless station must have the same settings as the

wireless access point.

Mode

On each PC, the mode must be set to Infrastructure.

SSID (ESSID)

This must match the value used on the wireless access point.

The default value is LinksysSMB24G for radio 1 and LinksysSMB5G

for radio 2.

Note: The SSID is case sensitive.

Wireless

Security

• Each wireless station must be set to use WEP data encryption.

• The key size (64 bit, 128 bit) must be set to match the access point.

• The key values on the PC must match the key values on the access

point.

Note:

On some systems, the key sizes may be shown as 40-bit and 104-bit

instead of 64-bit, 128-bit. This is because the key input by the user is 24

bits less than the key size used for encryption.
