Black Box LWN602A User Manual page 147

NOTE: If the supplicant is on a PC running Windows XP, you must configure it to use PEAP for authentication. By default, a
Windows XP wireless client uses Smart Card or other Certificate instead of PEAP.
If the supplicant is Windows based and you are not on a domain.
1. Configure the SSID on your client as follows:
Network name (SSID): employee
Network authentication: WPA2
Data encryption: AES
Enable IEEE 802.1X authentication for this network: (select)
EAP type: Protected EAP (PEAP)
Authenticate as computer when computer information is available: (clear)
Authenticate as guest when user or computer information is unavailable: (clear)
Validate server certificate: (clear)
Select Authentication Method: Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)
Automatically use my WIndows logon name and password (and domain if any): (clear)
2. View the available SSIDs in the area and select employee.
3. Click Connect.
4. When the prompt appears for you to select a certificate or enter other credentials to validate your identity, click the prompt,
enter the user name and password that are stored on the RADIUS authentication server, and then click OK.
If the supplicant is on a Macintosh computer and is not on a domain:
1. View the available SSIDs in the area, and select employee.
2. Click Join Network.
3. Accept the certificate that the RADIUS server provides, assuming it is from a trustworthy source. After the RADIUS
authentication server validates your identity, the client connects to the WLAN.
Step 6: Check that clients can form associations and access the network.
1. To check that a client can associate with a SmartPath AP and access the network, open a wireless client application and
connect to the "employee" SSID. Then contact a network resource, such as a Web server.
2. Log in to the SmartPath AP CLI, and check that you can see the MAC address or the associated client and an indication that
the correct SSID is in use by entering the following command:
show ssid employee station
