Appendix A: Client Setup For 802.1X, Wpa, And Wpa-Psk; Retrieving Client Certificate - NetComm NB6 User Manual

A PVC is a logical point-to-point circuit between customer sites. PVCs are low-delay circuits because
routing decisions do not need to be made along the way. Permanent means that the circuit is pre-
programmed by the carrier as a path through the network. It does not need to be set up or turned
down for each session.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
RIP is a routing protocol that uses the distance-vector routing algorithms to calculate least-hops routes
to a destination. It is used on the Internet and is common in the NetWare environment. It exchanges
routing information with other routers. It includes V1, V2 and V1&V2, which controls the sending and
receiving of RIP packets over Ethernet.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
UDP is a connectionless transport service that dispenses with the reliability services provided by TCP.
UDP gives applications a direct interface with IP and the ability to address a particular application
process running on a host via a port number without setting up a connection session.
Virtual Server
You can designate virtual servers, e.g., a FTP, web, telnet or mail server, on your local network and
make them accessible to the outside world. A virtual server means that it is not a dedicated server --
that is, the entire computer is not dedicated to running on the public network but in the private
network.
VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) & VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier)
A VPI is a 8-bit field while VCI is a 16-bit field in the ATM cell header. A VPI identifies a link formed by a
virtual path and a VCI identifies a channel within a virtual path. In this way, the cells belonging to the
same connection can be distinguished. A unique and separate VPI/VCI identifier is assigned in advance
to indicate which type of cell is following, unassigned cells, physical layer OAM cells, meta-signalling
channel or a generic broadcast signalling channel. Your ISP should supply you with the values.

Retrieving Client Certificate

While there are many ways you may receive a certificate from your Certificate Authority, the
example here is to show you how to retrieve your certificate from a Microsoft Certificate Services
server via its easy web interface.
1. Please connect the client to a network that doesn't require port authentication.
2. Open up Microsoft Explorer, connect to your CA via the URL http://yourserver/certsrv (see
your local administrator if it has been changed from the default).
•
This step is only required if you intend to authenticate with EAP/TLS.
