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
Appendix C PC And Server Configuration
Using WPA2-PSK
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
On each client, wireless security must be set to
WPA2-PSK
The Pre-shared Key entered on the access point must
also be entered on each wireless client
The Encryption method (e g TKIP, AES) must be set to
match the access point
