Page 11: Profile Tab
Profile Tab This Tab allows you to create profiles for the most frequently used wireless network, i.e. home network, company network or public hotspots. The profile can be activated as required. Profile List –This list contains configured profiles, profile name, SSID, information.
Page 12 Profile configuration – System Config Tab This Tab allows configuration of basic connection parameters. Profile Name – Enter a name to identify your profile. Default is PROF1. SSID –Enter a network service set identifier (SSID) or select from a list of active networks.
Page 13 Profile configuration – Auth. \ Encry. Tab This Tab contains all Authentication and Encryption settings Authentication:  Open –With the Open method, every wireless station can request authentication.  Shared –With the Shared authentication, the station requesting authentication must provide a secret key (which can be obtained from network administrator) using a secure channel (independent of the 802.11...
Page 14  Authentication: LEAP Authentication –Change authentication method. Identity –Enter your identity for the LEAP authentication service. Password –Enter your password for the LEAP authentication service. Domain Name –Enter your domain name for the LEAP authentication service.  Authentication: WPA and WPA2 Authentication –Change authentication method.
Page 15 Authentication –Change authentication method. Encryption –Select the encryption method to be used.  AES (Advanced Encryption System) uses symmetrical 128-bit data block encryption.  TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity protocol) uses stronger encryption algorithms and MIC (Message Integrity Check) to provide security against hackers.
Page 16 Profile configuration – 802.1x Tab Settings on this Tab allow IEEE 802.1x protocol. All information can be obtained from wireless network administrator. Appearance of this Tab depends on options selected from EAP method and Tunnel Authentication lists.  PEAP –Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transports secured authentication data by using tunneling between PEAP clients and an authentication server.
Page 17 EAP Method –Change EAP authentication method. Tunnel Authentication –Change tunnel authentication method. Session Resumption –Enable/disable session resumption. Authentication ID / Password –Identity, Password and Domain Name for server. Only EAP-FAST authentication can key in domain name. Domain name can be keyed in blank space.
Page 18: Client Certificate Tab
Client Certificate Tab Use Client certification –Enable this option to use Client certificate for server authentication and then select certificate from drop-down list. You can find detailed information on certificate below this list. Server Certificate Tab Use certificate chain –Enable this option, to enable the certification feature and select the certificate issue.
Page 19 EAP-Fast Tab Allow unauthenticated provision mode –During the PAC can be provisioned (distributed on time) to the client automatically. It only supported Allow unauthenticated provision mode and use EAP-MSCHAP v2 authentication to authenticate now. It causes to continue with the establishment of the inner tunnel even through it is made with an unknown server.
Page 20: Network Tab
Network Tab Icons on list means: Show dBm – Check this box to show signal strength on AP List as dBm instead of percentages. This also applies to Signal Strength and Noise Strength in secondary pane. AP List –List of wireless networks in range. Columns contain follow information: SSID (hidden when SSID Broadcast on AP is disabled), network type icon (infrastructure or Ad hoc) and used channel, supported 802.11...
