The recovery discs are used to start up (boot) the computer and recover the operating system and software to factory settings in case of system instability or failure. Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:

You will need high-quality CD-R, DVD-R, or DVD+R media (purchased separately). Formatted DVDRW discs and DVDRW double-layer discs are not compatible with HP Backup and Recovery Manager. The computer must be connected to AC power during the process. Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer. Number each disc before inserting it into the optical drive of the computer. If necessary, you can cancel the disc creation before you have finished creating the recovery discs. The next time you select Create factory software recovery CDs or DVDs to recover the system (Highly recommended), you will be prompted to continue the disc creation. Getting Started B1 435748-001.book Page 2 Thursday, December 7, 2006 10:17 AM Backup and recovery To create a set of recovery discs, follow these steps:

1. Select Start > All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery >

HP Backup and Recovery Manager. 2. Click Next. 3. Click Create factory software recovery CDs or DVDs to recover the system (Highly recommended), and then click Next. 4.

Products with HP Broadband Wireless Modules THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION. The HP Broadband Wireless Module in your notebook is a radio transmitter and receiver. The device is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines that establish permitted levels of RF radiation for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The device also meets the European R&TTE directives, including the protection of the health and the safety of the user and any other person. The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).* The SAR was obtained by testing the device at standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The SAR information for your computer, including the recommended minimum distance from the body, is available on the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/broadbandwireless. The actual SAR of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value, because the device operates at multiple power levels and uses only the power required to reach the network. When installed in the notebook computer, this device meets RF exposure guidelines when the antennae are positioned at a minimum distance from the body. In order to transmit data or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data or messages may be delayed until such a connection becomes available. Be sure that the recommended distance is observed until the transmission is complete.

*The international guidelines state that the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/

kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. Ergonomics notice Germany Computers bearing the GS approval mark meet the applicable ergonomic requirements when used in conjunction with docking bases, keyboards, and monitors that bear the GS approval mark. Computers in a stand-alone mode are not intended for continuous use in an office environment.

"Important Notice FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS!!!!

Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they are designated and/or marked to ship into. Since wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure. For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing support to any third parties for such modified products. Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant."

Connection Details Description Name Profile Name Network Name IPv4 Address Signal Quality Description Name of the profile. Network Name (SSID) of the current connection. Internet Protocol (IP) address for the current connection. A radio frequency (RF) signal can be assessed by two components:

Signal Strength l signal strength (quantity) l signal quality The quality of the signal is determined by a combination of factors. Primarily it is composed of signal strength and the ratio of the RF noise present. RF noise occurs both naturally and artificially by electrical equipment. If the amount of the RF noise is high, or the signal strength is low, it results in a lower signal to noise ratio which causes poorer signal quality. With a low signal to noise ratio, it is difficult for the radio receiver to discern the data information contained in the signal from the noise itself. The signal strength icon bars indicate the quality of the transmit and receive signals between your wireless adapter and the access point or computer in Device to Device (ad hoc) mode. The number of vertical green bars indicates the strength of the transmit and receive signals. NOTE: The signal strength is displayed for the closest AP for networks that contains multiple APs. The signal strength ranges from excellent to out of range. The following factors affect signal strength:

Set up Data Encryption and Authentication In a home wireless network, you can use a variety of simple security procedures to protect your wireless connection. These include:

l Enable Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) l Change your password l Change the network name (SSID) Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption provides protection for your data on the network. WPA uses an encryption key called a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) to encrypt data before transmission. Enter the same password in all of the computers and access points in your home or small business network. Only devices that use the same encryption key can access the network or decrypt the encrypted data transmitted by other computers. The password automatically initiates the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for the data encryption process. Network Keys WEP encryption provides two levels of security:

l 64-bit key (sometimes referred to as 40-bit) l 128-bit key (also known as 104-bit) For improved security, use a 128-bit key. If you use encryption, all wireless devices on your wireless network must use the same encryption keys. You can create the key yourself and specify the key length (64- or 128-bit) and key index (the location that a specific key is stored). The greater the key length, the more secure the key. Key Length: 64-bit Pass phrase (64-bit): Enter five (5) alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z. Hex key (64-bit): Enter 10 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F. Key Length: 128-bit Pass phrase (128-bit): Enter 13 alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z. Hex key (128-bit): Enter 26 hexadecimal characters, 0-9, A-F. With 802.11, a wireless station can be configured with up to four keys (the key index values are 1, 2, 3, and 4). When an access point or a wireless station transmits an encrypted message that uses a key stored in a specific key index, the transmitted message indicates the key index that was used to encrypt the message body. The receiving access point or wireless station can then retrieve the key that is stored at the key index and use it to decode the encrypted message body. Set up a Client with Open Authentication and No Data Encryption

(None) In device to device mode, also called ad hoc mode, wireless computers send information directly to other wireless computers. You can use ad hoc mode to network multiple computers in a home or small office, or to set up a temporary wireless network for a meeting. On the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless main window, select one of the following methods to connect to a device to device network:

l Double-click an ad hoc network in the Wireless Networks list. l Select a network in the Wireless Networks list. Click Connect. The Intel PROSet/Wireless software automatically detects the security settings for the wireless adapter. l Create a device to device (ad hoc) network profile as described below. To create a profile for a wireless network connection with no encryption:

m Select the Key Index number: 1, 2, 3, or 4. m Enter the Wireless Security Password. m Select another Key Index number. m Enter another Wireless Security Password. 3. Click OK to return to the Profiles list. Set up a Client with WPA-Personal (TKIP) or WPA2-Personal (TKIP) Security Settings WPA Personal Mode requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access point and clients. This PSK authenticates a user's password or identifying code, on both the client station and the access point. An authentication server is not needed. WPA Personal Mode is targeted to home and small business environments. WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security that provides enterprise and consumer wireless users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some corporate and government users. To configure a profile with WPA-Personal network authentication and TKIP data encryption:

1. On the Intel PROSet/Wireless main window, double-click an Infrastructure network in the Wireless Networks list or select the network and click Connect. 2. Click Profiles to access the Profiles list. 3. Click Properties to open the Wireless Profile Properties' General Settings. The Profile name and Wireless Network Name (SSID) display. Network (Infrastructure) should be selected as the Operating Mode. 4. Click Next to access the Security Settings. 5. Security Settings: Select WPA-Personal (TKIP) to provide security to a small business network or home environment. A password, called a pre-shared key (PSK), is used. The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network. If your wireless access point or router supports WPA2-Personal then you should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network. The same password entered in the access point needs to be used on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network. NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are not interoperable. 6. Wireless Security Password (Encryption Key): Enter a text phrase with eight to 63 characters. Verify that the network key matches the password in the wireless access point. 7. Click OK to return to the Profiles list. Set up a Client with WPA-Personal (AES-CCMP) or WPA2-Personal (AES-CCMP) Security Settings Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA enforces 802.1x authentication and key-exchange and only works with dynamic encryption keys. For a home user or small business, WPA-Personal utilizes either Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol (AES-CCMP) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). To configure a profile with WPA2-Personal network authentication and AES-CCMP data encryption:

1. On the Profile page, select a profile. 2. Click Properties to open the Wireless Profile Properties' General Settings. The Profile name and Wireless Network Name (SSID) display. Network (Infrastructure) should be selected as the Operating Mode. 3. Click Next. The Security Settings page opens. 4. Security Settings: Select WPA-Personal (AES-CCMP) to provide this level of security in the small network or home environment. It uses a password also called a pre-shared key (PSK). The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network. AES-CCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol) is the new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. Choose AES-CCMP as the data encryption method whenever strong data protection is important. If your Wireless access point or router supports WPA2-Personal then you should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. The same password entered into access point needs to be used on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network. NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are not interoperable. Some security solutions may not be supported by your computer's operating system. You may require additional software or hardware as well as wireless LAN infrastructure support. Contact your computer manufacturer for details. Set Password:

m TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a rekeying mechanism. m AES-CCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol) is used as the data encryption method whenever strong data protection is important. AES-CCMP is recommended. 10. Enable 802.1x: Selected. 11. Authentication Type: Select TTLS to be used with this connection. Step 1 of 2: TTLS User 1. Authentication Protocol: This parameter specifies the authentication protocol operating over the TTLS tunnel. The protocols are: PAP (Default), CHAP, MD5, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP-V2. See Security Overview for more information. 2. User Credentials: User Credentials: For PAP, CHAP, MD5, MS-CHAP, and MS-CHAP-V2 protocols, select one of these authentication methods: Use Windows logon, Prompt each time I connect, or Use the following. 3. Roaming Identity: A Roaming Identity may be populated in this field or you can use %domain%\%

username% as the default format for entering a roaming identity. When 802.1x Microsoft IAS RADIUS is used as an authentication server, the server authenticates the device using the Roaming Identity from Intel PROSet/Wireless software, and ignores the Authentication Protocol MS-CHAP-V2 user name. Microsoft IAS RADIUS accepts only a valid user name (dotNet user) for the Roaming Identity. For all other authentication servers, the Roaming Identity is optional. Therefore, it is recommended to use the desired realm (for example, anonymous@myrealm) for the Roaming Identity rather than a true identity. 4. Click Next to access the TTLS Server settings. Step 2 of 2: TTLS Server 1. Select one of the following credential retrieval methods: Validate Server Certificate or Specify Server or Certificate Name. 2. Click OK to save the setting and close the page. Set up a Client with PEAP Network Authentication PEAP authentication: PEAP settings are required for the authentication of the client to the authentication server. The client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-encrypted channel between client and server. The client can use another EAP mechanism (for example, Microsoft Challenge Authentication Protocol

(MS-CHAP) Version 2), over this encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. The following example describes how to use WPA with AES-CCMP or TKIP encryption with PEAP authentication. To set up a client with PEAP Authentication:

Obtain and install a client certificate. Refer to Set up the Client for TLS authentication or consult your administrator. 1. Click Profiles on the Intel PROSet/Wireless main window. 2.

Network Authentication: Select WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise. 9. Data Encryption: Select one of the following:

m TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a rekeying mechanism. m AES-CCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol) is used as the data encryption method whenever strong data protection is important. AES-CCMP is recommended. 10. Enable 802.1x: Selected. 11. Authentication Type: Select PEAP to be used with this connection. Step 1 of 2: PEAP User PEAP relies on Transport Layer Security (TLS) to allow unencrypted authentication types (for example, EAP-

Generic Token Card (GTC) and One-Time Password (OTP) support). 1. Authentication Protocol: Select either GTC, MS-CHAP-V2 (Default), or TLS. Refer to Authentication Protocols. 2. User Credentials: User Credentials: Select one of the following: Use Windows logon, Prompt each time I connect, or Use the following. 3. Roaming Identity: A Roaming Identity may be populated in this field or you can use %domain%\%

username% as the default format for entering a roaming identity. When 802.1x Microsoft IAS RADIUS is used as an authentication server, the server authenticates the device using the Roaming Identity from Intel PROSet/Wireless software, and ignores the Authentication Protocol MS-CHAP-V2 user name. Microsoft IAS RADIUS accepts only a valid user name (dotNet user) for the Roaming Identity. For all other authentication servers, the Roaming Identity is optional. Therefore, it is recommended to use the desired realm (for example, anonymous@myrealm) for the Roaming Identity rather than a true identity. Configure Roaming Identity to support multiple users:

If you use a Pre-logon/Common profile that requires the roaming identity to be based on the Windows logon credentials, the creator of the profile can add a roaming identity that uses %

username% and %domain%. The roaming identity is parsed and the appropriate log on information is substituted for the keywords. This allows maximum flexibility in configuring the roaming identity while allowing multiple users to share the profile. Please refer to your authentication server user guide for directions about how to format a suitable roaming identity. Possible formats are:

%domain%\%username%

%username%@%domain%

%username%@%domain%.com

%username%@mynetwork.com If Roaming Identity is cleared, %domain%\%username% is the default. Notes about the credentials: This user name and domain must match the user name that is set in the authentication server by the administrator prior to client authentication. The user name is case-sensitive. This name specifies the identity supplied to the authenticator by the authentication protocol operating over the TLS tunnel. This user identity is securely transmitted to the server only after an encrypted channel has been verified and established. Authentication Protocols: This parameter specifies the authentication protocols that can operate over the TTLS tunnel. Below are instructions on how to configure a profile that uses PEAP authentication with GTC, MS-CHAP-V2 (Default), or TLS authentication protocols.

Step 1 of 3: EAP-FAST Provisioning With CCXv4, EAP-FAST supports two modes for provisioning:

l Server-Authenticated Mode: Provisioning inside a server authenticated TLS tunnel. l Server-Unauthenticated Mode: Provisioning inside an unauthenticated TLS tunnel. NOTE: Server-Authenticated Mode provides significant security advantages over Server-

Unauthenticated Mode even when EAP-MSCHAPv2 is being used as an inner method. This mode protects the EAP-MSCHAPv2 exchanges from potential Man-in-the-Middle attacks by verifying the servers authenticity before exchanging MSCHAPv2. Therefore, Server-Authenticated Mode is preferred whenever it is possible. EAP-FAST peer must use Server-Authenticated Mode whenever a certificate or public key is available to authenticate the server and ensure the best security practices. Provisioning of Protected Access Credentials (PAC):

EAP-FAST uses a PAC key to protect the user credentials that are exchanged. All EAP-FAST authenticators are identified by an authority identity (A-ID). The local authenticator sends its A-ID to an authenticating client, and the client checks its database for a matching A-ID. If the client does not recognize the A-ID, it requests a new PAC. NOTE: If the provisioned Protected Access Credential (PAC) is valid, Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless does not prompt the user for acceptance of the PAC. If the PAC is invalid, Intel PROSet/Wireless fails the provisioning automatically. A status message is displayed in the Wireless Event Viewer that an administrator can review on the user's computer. 1. Verify that Disable EAP-FAST Enhancements (CCXv4) is not selected. Allow unauthenticated provisioning and Allow authenticated provisioning are selected by default. Once a PAC is selected from the Default Server, you can deselect any of these provisioning methods. 2. Default Server: None is selected as the default. Click Select Server to select a PAC from the default PAC authority server or select a server from the Server group list. The EAP-FAST Default Server (PAC Authority) selection page opens. NOTE: Server groups are only listed if you have installed an Administrator Package that contains EAP-FAST Authority ID (A-ID) Group settings. PAC distribution can also be completed manually (out-of-band). Manual provisioning enables you to create a PAC for a user on an ACS server and then import it into a user's computer. A PAC file can be protected with a password, which the user needs to enter during a PAC import. To import a PAC:

1. Click Import to import a PAC from the PAC server. 2. Click Open. 3. Enter the PAC password. (Optional) 4. Click OK closes this page. The selected PAC is used for this wireless profile. EAP-FAST CCXv4 enables support for the provisioning of other credentials beyond the PAC currently provisioned for tunnel establishment. The credential types supported include trusted CA certificate, machine credentials for machine authentication, and temporary user credentials used to bypass user authentication. Use a certificate (TLS Authentication) 1. Click Use a certificate (TLS Authentication) 2. Click Identity Protection when the tunnel is protected. 3. Select one of the following:

m Use a user certificate on this computer. Click Select to choose the user certificate. Click OK. Proceed to Step 4. m Use the certificate issued to this computer. Proceed to Step 5. m Use my smart card. Select if the certificate resides on a smart card. Proceed to Step 5. 4. User Name: Enter the user name assigned to the user certificate. 5. Click Next. Step 2 of 3: EAP-FAST Additional Information If you selected Use a certificate (TLS Authentication) and Use a user certificate on this computer, click Next (no roaming identity is required) and proceed to Step 3 to configure EAP-FAST Server certificate settings. If you do not need to configure EAP-FAST server settings, click OK to save your settings and return to the Profiles page. If you selected to use a smart card, add the roaming identity, if required. Click OK to save your settings and return to the Profiles page. If you did not select Use a certificate (TLS Authentication), click Next to select an Authentication Protocol. CCXv4 permits additional credentials or TLS cipher suites to establish the tunnel. Authentication Protocol: Select either GTC, or MS-CHAP-V2 (Default). Generic Token Card (GTC) GTC may be used with Server-Authenticated Mode . This enable peers using other user databases as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and one-time password (OTP) technology to be provisioned in-

band. However, the replacement may only be achieved when used with the TLS cipher suites that ensure server authentication. To configure a one-time password:

1. Authentication Protocol: Select GTC (Generic Token Card). 2. User Credentials: Select Prompt each time I connect. 3. On connection prompt for: Select one of the following:

Name Static Password One-time password (OTP) Obtain the password from a hardware token device. PIN (Soft Token) Description On connection, enter the user credentials. Obtain the password from a soft token program. 1. Click OK. 2. Select the profile on the Wireless Networks list. 3. Click Connect. When prompted, enter the user name, domain and one-time password (OTP). 4. Click OK. MS-CHAP-V2. This parameter specifies the authentication protocol operating over the PEAP tunnel. 1. Select the user credentials: Use Windows logon, Prompt each time I connect, or Use the following. 2. Roaming Identity: A Roaming Identity may be populated in this field or you can use %domain%\%

username% as the default format for entering a roaming identity. When 802.1x Microsoft IAS RADIUS is used as an authentication server, the server authenticates the device using the Roaming Identity from Intel PROSet/Wireless software, and ignores the Authentication Protocol MS-CHAP-V2 user name. Microsoft IAS RADIUS accepts only a valid user name (dotNet user) for the Roaming Identity. For all other authentication servers, the Roaming Identity is optional. Therefore, it is recommended to use the desired realm (for example, anonymous@myrealm) for the Roaming Identity rather than a true identity. Step 3 of 3: EAP-FAST Server Authenticated-TLS-Server Provisioning Mode is supported using a trusted CA certificate, a self-signed server certificate, or server public keys and GTC as the inner EAP method. 1. Select one of the following credential retrieval methods: Validate Server Certificate or Specify Server or Certificate Name. 2. Click OK to close the security settings.

Troubleshooting l Reinstall the drivers using the Intel PROSet/Wireless software. Radio Test The test summary displays Radio On or Radio Off. The test queries the current radio state. If the radio is switched on, the test passes. If the radio is off, the test fails. Troubleshooting Verify that your wireless adapter's radio is on. There are two methods to turn the radio on and off:

l The hardware switch l The Wireless On/Wireless Off button in Intel PROSet/Wireless software. See to Enable or Disable the Wireless Radio for more information. Scan Test The test queries the wireless networks within range of your wireless adapter. The test passes if networks can be seen in the scan list. The Test Summary displays the number of networks available to connect to. Troubleshooting l Verify that you are within range of an access point. l Switch the wireless radio to off and back to on. l Verify that the wireless band setting matches the access point band setting. l Switch the access point to off and back to on. Association Test The test summary displays Associated or Not Associated. Association is the establishment and maintenance of the wireless link between devices. When security is enabled, the devices only exchange security credentials. The test checks for wireless connectivity. The test passes if the client is associated successfully. Troubleshooting l When the access point signal strength is low, utilize the signal test listed below. l Verify that a profile has been created. If created:

m Verify that the profile SSID matches the access point Network Name (SSID). m Remove the profile and create a new profile. l Verify that your wireless network is not included in the Exclude (profiles) List. l Verify that the MAC address has not been excluded in the access point. Authentication Test Describes the process after association, during which the identity of the wireless device or end-

user is verified and then allowed network access. The test queries for authentication state information, including all Cisco Compatible Extensions and security-related information. The test passes if the client is authenticated successfully. The test fails if the client is not authenticated. The Test Summary displays whether authentication is required for the network connection. Troubleshooting l Select Intel(R) Wireless Troubleshooter from the Tools menu on the Intel PROSet/Wireless main window. Select Wireless Event Viewer to display error log records to resolve problems found with this test. l Edit your profile to ensure the correct credentials have been used for the WEP key, PSK, password or certificates. l Remove the existing profile and create a new profile. Signal Test The test summary displays the signal quality. If the signal quality is low, use the Troubleshoot button to diagnose and fix the problem. Troubleshooting l Move your computer 10 to 20 feet from the wireless access point or router. l Reduce interference by moving away from appliances (microwaves, cell phones or 2.4 GHz phones) or access points using the same channel. l Increase the transmission power of the access point. Ping Test The test verifies whether the wireless adapter successfully sent messages to and received replies from the access point IP address, default gateway, DHCP server (if enabled) and DNS servers. The test summary displays whether replies from these entities were received. Example: Response: AP, default gateway. No Response: DHCP server NOTE: If the ping tests to this access point and default gateway are successful but the ping test to the DNS server fails this is not a wireless network issue but a general network issue. Troubleshooting l Disable the security firewall and run the ping test again. l Contact the access point manufacturer to troubleshoot your home network setup. l Enterprise users should contact their network administrator.

Administrator Profiles Administrator Profiles are owned and managed by the network administrator or the administrator of this computer. These profiles are common or shared by all users on this computer. However, end users cannot modify these profiles. They can only be modified from the Administrator Tool, which is password protected. There are two types of Administrator Profiles: Persistent or Pre-logon/Common. You can also configure Voice over IP (VoIP) settings for export to a soft-phone application. NOTE: For Windows Vista packages, only EAP-SIM and TTLS Common profiles can be created. Persistent Connection Persistent profiles are applied at boot time or whenever no one is logged on the computer. After a user logs off, a Persistent profile maintains a wireless connection either until the computer is turned off or a different user logs on. Persistent Connect key points:

l The following types of profiles can be created as Persistent profiles:

m All profiles that do not require 802.1x authentication (for example, Open authentication with WEP encryption, Open authentication with no encryption). m All profiles with 802.1x authentication that have the credentials saved: LEAP or EAP-FAST. m Profiles with security settings that include the "Use the following user name and password" option. m Profiles that use the machine certificate to authenticate. m WPA-Enterprise profiles that do not use a user certificate. m WPA-Personal profiles. l Persistent profiles are applied at system power up and after a user logs off. To create a Persistent Profile:

1. Click Include Profiles in this package . 2. Click Persistent. 3. Click Add to open the General Settings. 4. Profile Name: Enter a descriptive profile name. 5. Wireless Network Name (SSID): Enter the name of your wireless network. 6. Operating Mode: Network (Infrastructure) is selected by default. 7. Administrator Profile Type: Persistent: Active when no users are logged on is selected. 8. Click Next. 9. Select Enterprise Security to open the Security Settings. See TLS, TTLS, PEAP, LEAP, or EAP-FAST for 802.1x security configuration information. 10. Click OK. Pre-Logon/Common Connection Pre-logon/Common profiles are applied prior to a user log on. If Single Sign On support is installed, the connection is made prior to the the Windows log on sequence (Pre-logon/

Common). If Single Sign On support is not installed, the profile is applied once the user session is active. Pre-logon/Common profiles always appear at the top of a the Profiles list. Users can still prioritize profiles that they have created but they cannot reprioritize Pre-logon/Common profiles. Because these profiles appear at the top of the profiles list, Intel PROSet/Wireless automatically attempts to connect to the Administrator profiles first before any user created profiles. NOTE: Only administrators can create or export Pre-logon/Common profiles. Pre-logon/Common Connect key points are:

l Pre-logon/Common Connect is active only at the Windows log on. l The following types of profiles can be created as Pre-logon/Common profiles:

m 802.1x MD5, PEAP, TTLS or EAP-FAST profiles that use either the "Use Windows Logon user name and password" or "Use the following user name and password"

credentials when configuring the profile's security settings. m LEAP profiles that use the "Prompt for the user name and password." credentials when configuring the profile's security settings. m 802.1x PEAP or TTLS profiles with user or machine certificates (the user must have administrative rights to use machine certificates). m TLS profiles that use digital certificates to verify the identity of a client and a server. m EAP-SIM profiles that use a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card to validate your credentials with the network. m All non-802.1x (Open and WEP) Common or User Based profiles. l A Pre-logon/Common profile is applied at Windows user log-on time. Pre-Logon/Common Connection Status Pre-logon/Common Connect support is installed during a Custom install of the Intel PROSet/

Wireless software. Refer to Install and Uninstall the Single Sign On Feature for more information. NOTE: If the Single Sign On or Pre-logon/Common Connect features are not installed, an administrator is still able to create Pre-logon/Common profiles for export to a user's computer. The following describes how the Pre-logon/Common Connect feature functions from system power-up. The assumption is that a saved profile exists.

After a system power-up, enter your Windows log on domain, user name, and password. 2. Click OK. The Pre-logon/Common profile Status page displays the progress of the network connection. After the wireless adapter is connected to the network access point, the Status page closes and the Windows user logs on. n If the corresponding access point rejects your credentials during the Pre-

logon/Common Connect, the profile credentials prompts you for your user credentials. n Enter your credentials. n Click OK. The profile is applied and the Status page displays the progress of the connection status until you are logged onto Windows. n Click Cancel on the Credentials page to select another profile. NOTE: A user certificate can only be accessed by a user that has been authenticated on the computer. Therefore, a user should log onto the computer once (using either a wired connection, alternate profile or local log in) before using a Pre-logon/Common profile that authenticates with a user certificate. When you log off, any wireless connection is disconnected and a persistent profile (if one is available) is applied. Under certain circumstances it is desirable to maintain the current connection (for example, if user-specific data needs to be uploaded to the server post-log off or when roaming profiles are used). Create a profile which is marked as both Pre-logon/Common and persistent to achieve this functionality. If such a profile is active when the user logs off, the connection is maintained. To create a Pre-logon/Common Profile:

1. Click Include Profiles in this package. 2. Click Pre-logon/Common. 3. Click Add to open the General Settings. 4. Profile Name: Enter a descriptive profile name. 5. Wireless Network Name (SSID): Enter the network identifier. 6. Operating Mode: Network (Infrastructure) is selected by default. 7.

Administrator Tasks How to Obtain a Client Certificate If you do not have any certificates for EAP-TLS (TLS) or EAP-TTLS (TTLS) you must obtain a client certificate to allow authentication. Certificates are managed from either Internet Explorer or the Microsoft Windows Control Panel. Windows XP and Windows 2000: When a client certificate is obtained, do not enable strong private key protection. If you enable strong private key protection for a certificate, you need to enter an access password for the certificate every time this certificate is used. You must disable strong private key protection for the certificate if you configure the service for TLS or TTLS authentication. Otherwise, the 802.1x service fails authentication because there is no logged in user to provide the required password. Notes about Smart Cards After a Smart Card is installed, the certificate is automatically installed on your computer and is chosen from the personal certificate store and root certificate store. Set up a Client with TLS Network Authentication Step 1: Obtain a certificate To allow TLS authentication, you need a valid client certificate in the local repository for the logged-in user's account. You also need a trusted CA certificate in the root store. The following information provides two methods for obtaining a certificate:

l From a corporate certification authority (CA) implemented on a Windows 2000 server. l Import a certificate from a file with Internet Explorer's certificate import wizard. If you do not know how to obtain a user certificate from the CA, consult your administrator for the procedure. To install the CA on the local machine:

1. Obtain the CA and store it on your local drive. 2. Click Import. The Certificate Import Wizard opens. 3. Click Next. 4. Click Browse to locate the certificate on your local drive. 5. Click the exported certificate. 6. Click Open. 7. Click Next. 8. Click Place all certificates in the following store. 9. Click Browse to open the Select Certificate Store. 10.

Obtain a certificate from a Microsoft Windows 2000 CA:

1. Start Internet Explorer and browse to the Certificate Authority HTTP Service (use an URL such as http://yourdomainserver.yourdomain/certsrv with certsrv being the command that brings you to the certificate authority. You can also use the IP address of the server machine. For example, "192.0.2.12/certsrv."

2. Logon to the CA with the name and password of the user account you created on the authentication server. The name and password do not have to be the same as the Windows log on name and password of the current user. 3. On the Welcome page of the CA, select Request a certificate task and submit the form. 4. Choose Request Type: Select Advanced request. 5. Click Next. 6. Advanced Certificate Requests: Select Submit a certificate request to this CA using a form. 7. Click Submit. 8. Advanced Certificate Request: Select User certificate template. 9.

(AP) ad hoc network AES-CCMP Definition The 802.11 standard refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN technology. The 802.11 specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless clients and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum

(DSSS). The 802.11a standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps and an operating frequency of 5 GHz. The 802.11a standard uses the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

(OFDM) transmission method. Additionally, the 802.11a standard supports 802.11 features such as WEP encryption for security. 802.11b is an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless LANS and provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b uses only DSSS. Throughput data rate 5+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. The 802.11g standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps, an operating frequency of 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11g networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks. 802.1x is the IEEE Standard for Port-Based Network Access Control. This is used in conjunction with EAP methods to provide access control to wired and wireless networks. Authentication, Authorization and Accounting Server. A system to control access to computer resources and track user activity. A device that connects wireless devices to another network. For example, a wireless LAN, Internet modem or others. A communication configuration in which every computer has the same capabilities, and any computer can initiate a communication session. Also known as a peer-to-peer network or a computer-to-

computer network. Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol is the new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. BER CCX CKIP Bit Rate Certificate CA (certificate authority) Broadcast SSID BSSID Authentication Verifies the identity of a user logging onto a network. Passwords, digital certificates, smart cards and biometrics are used to prove the identity of the client to the network. Passwords and digital certificates are also used to identify the network to the client. Bit error rate. The ratio of errors to the total number of bits being sent in a data transmission from one location to another. The total number of bits (ones and zeros) per second that a network connection can support. Note that this bit rate will vary, under software control, with different signal path conditions. Used to allow an access point to respond to clients on a wireless network by sending probes. A unique identifier for each wireless client on a wireless network. The Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is the Ethernet MAC address of each adapter on the network. A corporate certification authority implemented on a server. In addition, Internet Explorers certificate can import a certificate from a file. A trusted CA certificate is stored in the root store. Cisco Compatible eXtension. Cisco Compatible Extensions Program ensures that devices used on Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure meet the security, management and roaming requirements. Used for client authentication. A certificate is registered on the authentication server (i.e., RADIUS server) and used by the authenticator. Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is a Cisco proprietary security protocol for encryption in 802.11 media. CKIP uses a key message integrity check and message sequence number to improve 802.11 security in infrastructure mode. CKIP is Cisco's version of TKIP. The computer that gets its Internet connection by sharing either the host computer's connection or the Access Point's connection. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio transmission. Incompatible with FHSS. Short for Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP sits inside of Point-to-Point Protocols (PPP) authentication protocol and provides a generalized framework for several different authentication methods. EAP is supposed to head off proprietary authentication systems and let everything from passwords to challenge-response tokens and public-key infrastructure certificates all work smoothly. EAP-FAST, like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic. The main difference is that EAP-FAST does not use certificates to authenticate. The EAP-GTC (Generic Token Card) is similar to the EAP-OTP except with hardware token cards. The request contains a displayable message, and the response contains the string read from the hardware token card. EAP-OTP (One-Time Password) is similar to MD5, except it uses the OTP as the response. The request contains a displayable message. The OTP method is defined in RFC 2289. The OTP mechanism is employed extensively in VPN and PPP scenarios but not in the wireless world Extensible Authentication Protocol-Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-

SIM) authentication can be used with:

Megahertz. A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000 cycles per second. MIC (Michael) Message integrity check (commonly called Michael). MS-CHAP An EAP mechanism used by the client. Microsoft Challenge Authentication Protocol (MSCHAP) Version 2, is used over an encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. Nanosecond. 1 billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a second. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing. Allows any device network access. If encryption is not enabled on the network, any device that knows the Service Set Identifier

(SSID) of the access point can gain access to the network. Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft protocol sponsored by Microsoft, Cisco, and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypted tunnel similar to the tunnel used in secure web pages (SSL). Inside the encrypted tunnel, a number of other EAP authentication methods can be used to perform client authentication. PEAP requires a TLS certificate on the RADIUS server, but unlike EAP-

TLS there is no requirement to have a certificate on the client. PEAP has not been ratified by the IETF. The IETF is currently comparing PEAP and TTLS (Tunneled TLS) to determine an authentication standard for 802.1X authentication in 802.11 wireless systems. PEAP is an authentication type designed to take advantage of server-side EAP-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and to support various authentication methods, including user's passwords and one-time passwords, and Generic Token Cards. A wireless network structure that allows wireless clients to communicate with each other without using an access point. The state in which the radio is periodically powered down to conserve power. When the notebook is in Power Save mode, receive packets are stored in the access point until the wireless adapter wakes up. One of the networks that has been configured. Such networks are listed under Preferred networks on the Wireless Networks tab of the Wireless Configuration Utility (Windows 2000 environment) or Wireless Network Connection Properties (Windows XP environment). Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is an authentication and accounting system that verifies users credentials and grants access to requested resources. Radio Frequency. The international unit for measuring frequency is Hertz (Hz), which is equivalent to the older unit of cycles per second. One Mega-Hertz (MHz) is one million Hertz. One Giga-

Hertz (GHz) is one billion Hertz. For reference: the standard US electrical power frequency is 60 Hz, the AM broadcast radio frequency band is 0.55 -1.6 MHz, the FM broadcast radio frequency band is 88-108 MHz, and microwave ovens typically operate at 2.45 GHz. Movement of a wireless node between two micro cells. Roaming usually occurs in infrastructure networks built around multiple access points.

Subscriber Identity Module card is used to validate credentials with the network. A SIM card is a special smart card that is used by GSM-based digital cellular networks. Silent Mode Access Points or Wireless Routers have been configured to not broadcast the SSID for the wireless network. This makes it necessary to know the SSID in order to configure the wireless profile to connect to the access point or wireless router. Silent Mode Single Sign On Single Sign On feature set allows the 802.1x credentials to match SSID Stealth TKIP TLS TTLS WEP WEP Key Wi-Fi Wireless Router WLAN WPA WPA2 WPA-

Enterprise your Windows log on user name and password credentials for wireless network connections. Service Set Identifier. SSID or network name is a value that controls access to a wireless network. The SSID for your wireless network card must match the SSID for any access point that you want to connect with. If the value does not match, you are not granted access to the network. Each SSID may be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long and is case-sensitive. A stealth access point is one that has the capability and is configured to not broadcast its SSID. This is the wireless network name that appears when a DMU (Device Management Utility, such as Intel PROSet/Wireless) scans for available wireless networks. It is commonly considered a weak security feature, in that it does not readily disclose the presence of the wireless network. To connect to a stealth access point, a user must specifically know the SSID and configure their DMU accordingly. The feature is not a part of the 802.11 specification, and is known by differing names by various vendors: closed mode, private network, SSID broadcasting. Temporal Key Integrity protocol improves data encryption. Wi-Fi Protected Access utilizes its TKIP. TKIP provides important data encryption enhancements including a re-keying method. TKIP is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless networks. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless networks. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP. Transport Layer Security. A type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide mutual authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is transmitted. Tunneled Transport Layer Security. These settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS, the client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-

encrypted channel between the client and server. The client can use another authentication protocol, typically password-based protocols, such as MD5 Challenge over this encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS implementations today support all methods defined by EAP, as well as several older methods (CHAP, PAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2). TTLS can easily be extended to work with new protocols by defining new attributes to support new protocols. Wired Equivalent Privacy. Wired Equivalent Privacy, 64- and 128-

bit (64-bit is sometimes referred to as 40-bit). This is a low-level encryption technique designed to give the user about the same amount of privacy that he would expect from a LAN. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide security by data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another. Either a pass phrase or hexadecimal key. The pass phrase must be 5 ASCII characters for 64-bit WEP or 13 ASCII characters for 128-bit WEP. For pass phrases, 0-9, a-z, A-Z, and ~!@#$%^&*()_+|`-={}|[]\:";'<?,./ are all valid characters. The hex key must be 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 64-

bit WEP or 26 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 128-bit WEP. Wireless Fidelity. Is meant to be used generically when referring of any type to 802.11 network, whether 802.11b, 802.11a, or dual-

band. A stand-alone wireless hub that allows any computer that has a wireless network adapter to communicate with another computer within the same network and to connect to the Internet. Wireless Local-Area Network. A type of local-area network that uses high-frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate between nodes. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEEs 802.11i standard upon its completion. WPA consists of RC4 and TKIP and provides support for BSS

(Infrastructure) mode only. (Not compatible with WPA2.) Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2). This is the second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi specification. WPA2 consists of AES encryption, pre-authentication and PMKID caching. It provides support for BSS (Infrastructure) mode and IBSS (ad hoc) mode. (Not compatible with WPA.) Wi-Fi Protected Access-Enterprise applies to corporate users. A new standards-based, interoperable security technology for wireless LAN (subset of IEEE 802.11i draft standard) that encrypts data sent over radio waves. WPA is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP as follows:

l Improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys have not been tampered with. l l User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computers hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network. WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEEs 802.11i standard upon its completion. small network or home environment. Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) mode does not use an authentication server. It can be used with the data encryption types WEP or TKIP. WPA-PSK requires configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK). You must enter a pass phrase or 64 hex characters for a Pre-Shared Key of length 256-bits. The data encryption key is derived from the PSK. WPA-Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access-Personal provides a level of security in the WPA-PSK Back to Top Back to Contents Trademarks and Disclaimers Back to Contents Wireless Network Overview About Wireless Network Technology What do I need to setup a Wireless Network?

About Wireless Network Technology A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) connects computers without network cables. Instead computers use radio communications to send data between each other. In a WLAN, a radio communications device called an access point or wireless router connects network computers and provides Internet or network access. You can communicate directly with other wireless computers, or connect to an existing network through a wireless access point. When you set up your wireless adapter, you select the operating mode for the kind of wireless network you want. You can use your Intel(R) PRO/Wireless Network Connection adapter to connect to other similar wireless devices that comply with the 802.11 standard for wireless networking. What do I need to setup a Wireless Network?

To setup a wireless network, you need the following:

l Broadband internet service such as cable or DSL. This includes a broadband modem l A wireless router l A wireless network adapter (wireless card) for each computer that you want to connect to the wireless network. Wireless Networking Basics What is a wireless network manager or client utility?

The software application on your computer that is used to manage your wireless connections is commonly referred to as a wireless network manager or client utility. Your Dell portable computer ships with two client utilities installed: Intel PROSet/

Wireless and Microsoft Windows Zero Configuration. Intel PROSet is set by default as the utility which controls the management of your wireless connections. You can select which utility is the managing utility based on your preference. However, it is important to understand that the wireless network connection settings

(profiles) created by each utility are only applied when that utility is managing. It is a common error for users to inadvertently switch between the two utilities. This is a problem because network settings created in one utility are not applied if the other utility is managing the wireless connections. It is recommended that you choose one client utility to manage your wireless connections, and stay with it. Refer to Connect to a Network for more information. Network Name Each wireless network uses a unique Network Name to identify the network. This name is called the Service Set Identifier (SSID). When you set up your wireless adapter, you specify the SSID. If you want to connect to an existing network, you must use the name for that network. If you set up your own network, you can make up your own name and use it on each computer. The name can be up to 32 characters long and contain letters and numbers. Profiles A profile is a saved group of network settings. Profiles display in the Profiles list. Profiles are useful when moving from one wireless network to another. Different profiles can be configured for each wireless network. Profile settings can include the network name (SSID), operating mode, and security settings. From the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless main window you can add, edit, and remove profiles. Security The 802.11 wireless networks use encryption to help protect your data. Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) uses a 64- or 128-bit shared encryption key to scramble data. Before a computer transmits data, it uses a secret encryption key to scramble the data. The receiving computer uses this same key to unscramble the data. If you connect to an existing network, use the encryption key provided by the administrator of the wireless network. If you set up your own network, you can make up your own key and use it on each computer. The 802.1x authentication is independent of the 802.11 authentication process. The 802.1x standard provides a framework for various authentication and key-

management protocols. There are different 802.1x authentication types, each providing a different approach to authentication, but all employing the same 802.1x protocol and framework for communication between a client and an access point. The 802.1x authentication methods include passwords, certificates and smart cards

(plastic cards that hold data). 802.1x authentication option can only be used with Infrastructure operation mode. Configure a Wireless Network There are three basic components that must be configured for an 802.11 wireless network to operate properly:

l Network Name: Each wireless network uses a unique Network Name to identify the network. This name is called the Service Set Identifier (SSID). When you set up your wireless adapter, you specify the SSID. If you want to connect to an existing network, you must use the name for that network. If you are setting up your own network you can make up your own name and use it on each computer. The name can be up to 32 characters long and contain letters and numbers. l Profiles: When you set up your computer to access a wireless network, Intel

(R) PROSet/Wireless creates a profile for the wireless settings that you specify. If you want to connect to another network, you can scan for existing networks and make a temporary connection, or create a new profile for that network. After you create profiles, your computer will automatically connect when you change locations. l Security: The 802.11 wireless networks use encryption to help protect your data. Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) uses a 64-bit- or 128-bit shared encryption key to scramble data. Before a computer transmits data, it uses a secret encryption key to scramble the data. The receiving computer uses this same key to unscramble the data. If you are connecting to an existing network, use the encryption key provided by the administrator of the wireless network. If you are setting up your own network you can make up your own key and use it on each computer. 802.1x authentication is independent of the 802.11 authentication process. The 802.1x standard provides a framework for various authentication and key-

management protocols. There are different 802.1x authentication types, each providing a different approach to authentication but all employing the same 802.1x protocol and framework for communication between a client and an access point Refer to Get Connected Identify a Wireless Network Depending on the size and components of a wireless network, there are many ways to identify a wireless network:

l The Network Name or Service Set Identifier (SSID): Identifies a wireless network. All wireless devices on the network must use the same SSID. l Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID): A special case of SSID used to identify a wireless network that includes access points. l Independent Basic Service Set Identifier (IBSSID): A special case of SSID used to identify a network of wireless computers configured to communicate directly with one another without using an access point. l Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID): A unique identifier for each wireless device. The BSSID is the Ethernet MAC address of the device. l Broadcast SSID: An access point can respond to computers sending probe packets with the broadcast SSID. If this feature is enabled on the access point, any wireless user can associate with the access point by using a blank

(null) SSID. l Basic Service Set (BSS): Consists of two or more wireless nodes, or stations, which have recognized each other and have established communications. l Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS): A mode of operation in an 802.11 system that allows direct communication between 802.11 devices without the need to set up a communication session with an access point. Select a Wireless Network Mode Wireless networks can operate with or without access points, depending on the number of users in the network. Infrastructure mode uses access points to allow wireless computers to send and receive information. Wireless computers transmit to the access point, the access point receives the information and rebroadcasts it to other computers. The access point can also connect to a wired network or to the Internet. Multiple access points can work together to provide coverage over a wide area. Device-to-Device mode, also called ad hoc mode, works without access points and allows wireless computers to send information directly to other wireless computers. You can use Device-to-Device mode to network computers in a home or small office or to set up a temporary wireless network for a meeting. How do I turn my radio on and off?

You can want to turn your wireless adapter's radio on and off to:

l Conserve your computers battery when not connected l Meet the requirement to turn off radios on airplanes to prevent interference There are two methods to turn the radio on and off:

l The hardware switch l The Enable/Disable button in Intel PROSet/Wireless software A common cause for users not being able to connect to a wireless network is due to the radio being turned off. If you are unable to connect to a wireless network, verify that your radio is turned on by both the hardware switch and the software Enable/

Disable button. Verify that you have checked both methods. Refer to Enable or Disable the Wireless Radio for more information.

WEP encryption provides two levels of security that use a 64-bit key (sometimes referred to as 40-bit) or a 128-bit key

(also known as 104-bit). For stronger security, use a 128-bit key. If you use encryption, all wireless devices on your wireless network must use the same encryption keys. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and shared authentication provide protection for your data on the network. WEP uses an encryption key to encrypt data before transmitting it. Only computers that use the same encryption key can access the network or decrypt the encrypted data transmitted by other computers. Authentication provides an additional validation process from the adapter to the access point. The WEP encryption algorithm is vulnerable to passive and active network attacks. TKIP and CKIP algorithms include enhancements to the WEP protocol that mitigate existing network attacks and address its shortcomings. Open and Shared Key Authentication IEEE 802.11 supports two types of network authentication methods: Open System and Shared Key. l When Open authentication is used, any wireless station can request authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication management request that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station or access point grants any request for authentication. Open authentication allows any device network access. If no encryption is enabled on the network, any device that knows the Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the access point can gain access to the network. l When Shared Key authentication is used, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel. Shared key authentication requires that the client configure a static WEP key. The client access is granted only if it passes a challenge-based authentication. 802.1x Authentication How 802.1x Authentication Works 802.1x Features Overview The 802.1x authentication is independent of the 802.11 authentication process. The 802.1x standard provides a framework for various authentication and key-

management protocols. There are different 802.1x authentication types, each provides a different approach to authentication but all employ the same 802.1x protocol and framework for communication between a client and an access point. In most protocols, upon completion of the 802.1x authentication process, the supplicant receives a key that it uses for data encryption. Refer to How 802.1x authentication works for more information. With 802.1x authentication, an authentication method is used between the client and a Remote Authentication Dial-

In User Service (RADIUS) server connected to the access point. The authentication process uses credentials, such as a user's password that are not transmitted over the wireless network. Most 802.1x types support dynamic per-user, per-session keys to strengthen the static key security. 802.1x benefits from the use of an existing authentication protocol known as the Extensible Authentication Protocol

(EAP). 802.1x authentication for wireless networks has three main components:

l The authenticator (the access point) l The supplicant (the client software) l The authentication server (RADIUS) The 802.1x authentication security initiates an authorization request from the wireless client to the access point, which authenticates the client to an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) compliant RADIUS server. This RADIUS server may authenticate either the user (via passwords or certificates) or the system (by MAC address). In theory, the wireless client is not allowed to join the networks until the transaction is complete. There are several authentication algorithms used for 802.1x. Some examples are:

EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and Protected EAP (PEAP). These are all methods for the wireless client to identify itself to the RADIUS server. With RADIUS authentication, user identities are checked against databases. RADIUS constitutes a set of standards that addresses Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA). Radius includes a proxy process to validate clients in a multi-server environment. The IEEE 802.1x standard is for controlling and authenticating access to port-based 802.11 wireless and wired Ethernet networks. Port-based network access control is similar to a switched local area network (LAN) infrastructure that authenticates devices attached to a LAN port and prevent access to that port if the authentication process fails. What is RADIUS?

RADIUS is the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, an Authorization, Authentication, and Accounting (AAA) client-server protocol, that is used when a AAA dial-up client logs in or out of a Network Access Server. Typically, a RADIUS server is used by Internet Service Providers (ISP) to perform AAA tasks. AAA phases are described as follows:

l Authentication phase: Verifies a user name and password against a local database. After credentials are verified, the authorization process begins. l Authorization phase: Determines whether a request is allowed access to a resource. An IP address is assigned for the dial-up client. l Accounting phase: Collects information on resource usage for the purpose of trend analysis, auditing, session time billing, or cost allocation. How 802.1x Authentication Works A simplified description of 802.1x authentication is:

l A client sends a "request to access" message to an access point.

WPA or WPA2 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a wireless network. WPA enforces 802.1x authentication and key-exchange and only works with dynamic encryption keys. To strengthen data encryption, WPA utilizes its Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP provides important data encryption enhancements that include a per-packet key mixing function, a message integrity check (MIC) called Michael an extended initialization vector (IV) with sequencing rules, and a rekeying mechanism. With these enhancements, TKIP protects against WEP's known weaknesses. The second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi specification is known as WPA2. Enterprise Mode: Enterprise Mode verifies network users through a RADIUS or other authentication server. WPA utilizes 128-bit encryption keys and dynamic session keys to ensure your wireless network's privacy and enterprise security. Enterprise Mode is targeted to corporate or government environments. Personal Mode: Personal Mode requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key

(PSK) on the access point and clients. PSK authenticates users via a password, or identifying code, on both the client station and the access point. No authentication server is needed. Personal Mode is targeted to home and small business environments. WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise: Provide this level of security on enterprise networks with an 802.1x RADIUS server. An authentication type is selected to match the authentication protocol of the 802.1x server. NOTE: WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise are interoperable. WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal: Provide this level of security in the small network or home environment. It uses a password also called a pre-shared key

(PSK). The longer the password, the stronger the security of the wireless network. If your wireless access point or router supports WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal then you should enable it on the access point and provide a long, strong password. The same password entered into access point needs to be used on this computer and all other wireless devices that access the wireless network. NOTE: WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are not interoperable. AES-CCMP - (Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol) The new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. Choose AES-

CCMP as the data encryption method whenever strong data protection is important. NOTE: Some security solutions may not be supported by your computers operating system and may require additional software or hardware as well as wireless LAN infrastructure support. Check with your computer manufacturer for details. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an enhancement to WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) security. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a rekeying mechanism, which fixes the flaws of WEP. TLS A type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide mutual authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is transmitted. TTLS These settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Security), the client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-encrypted channel between the client and server. The client can use another authentication protocol, typically password-based protocols, as MD5 Challenge over this encrypted channel to enable server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS implementations today support all methods defined by EAP, as well as several older methods (PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2). TTLS can easily be extended to work with new protocols by defining new attributes to support new protocols. Authentication Protocols l MD5: Message Digest 5 (MD5) is a one-way authentication method that uses user names and passwords. This method does not support key management, but does require a pre-configured key if data encryption is used. It can be safely deployed for wireless authentication inside EAP tunnel methods. l PAP: Password Authentication Protocol is a two way handshake protocol designed for use with PPP. Password Authentication Protocol is a plain text password used on older SLIP systems. It is not secure. l CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol is a three-way handshake protocol that is considered more secure than PAP Authentication Protocol. l MS-CHAP (MD4): Uses a Microsoft version of RSA Message Digest 4 challenge-and-reply protocol. This only works on Microsoft systems and enables data encryption. To select this authentication method causes all data to be encrypted. l MS-CHAP-V2: Introduces an additional feature not available with MSCHAPV1 or standard CHAP authentication, the change password feature. This feature allows the client to change the account password if the RADIUS server reports that the password has expired. PEAP PEAP is a new Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) IEEE 802.1x authentication type designed to take advantage of server-side EAP-Transport Layer Security (EAP-

TLS) and to support various authentication methods, including users' passwords and one-time passwords, and Generic Token Cards. Authentication Protocols l Generic Token Card (GTC): Carries user specific token cards for authentication. The main feature in GTC is Digital Certificate/Token Card-

based authentication. In addition, GTC includes the ability to hide user name identities until the TLS encrypted tunnel is established, which provides additional confidentiality that user names are not being broadcasted during the authentication phase. l MS-CHAP-V2: Refer to MS-CHAP-V2 above. l TLS: The TLS protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide mutual authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is transmitted. Refer to TLS above. Cisco Features NOTE: Cisco Features are not supported on a Windows Vista platform. Cisco LEAP Cisco LEAP (Cisco Light EAP) is a server and client 802.1x authentication through a user-supplied logon password. When a wireless access point communicates with a Cisco LEAP-enabled RADIUS (Cisco Secure Access Control Server [ACS]), Cisco LEAP provides access control through mutual authentication between client wireless adapters and the wireless networks and provides dynamic, individual user encryption keys to help protect the privacy of transmitted data. Cisco Rogue Access Point Security Feature The Cisco Rogue Access Point feature provides security protection from an introduction of a rogue access point that could mimic a legitimate access point on a network in order to extract information about user credentials and authentication protocols that could compromise security. This feature only works with Cisco's LEAP authentication. Standard 802.11 technology does not protect a network from the introduction of a rogue access point. Refer to LEAP Authentication for more information. Fast Roaming (CCKM) When a wireless LAN is configured for fast reconnection, a LEAP-enabled client device can roam from one access point to another without involving the main server. Using Cisco Centralized Key Management (CCKM), an access point configured to provide Wireless Domain Services (WDS) takes the place of the RADIUS server and authenticates the client without perceptible delay in voice or other time-sensitive applications. CKIP Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is Cisco proprietary security protocol for encryption in 802.11 media. CKIP uses the following features to improve 802.11 security in infrastructure mode:

l Key Permutation (KP) l Message Sequence Number 802.11b and 802.11g Mixed Environment Protection Protocol Some access points, for example Cisco 350 or Cisco 1200, support environments in which not all client stations support WEP encryption; this is called Mixed-Cell Mode. When these wireless networks operate in "optional encryption" mode, client stations that join in WEP mode, send all messages encrypted, and stations that use standard mode send all messages unencrypted. These access points broadcast that the network does not use encryption, but allow clients that use WEP mode. When Mixed-

Cell is enabled in a profile, it allows you to connect to access points that are configured for "optional encryption."

EAP-FAST EAP-FAST like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic. The main difference is that EAP-FAST does not use certificates to authenticate. Provisioning in EAP-FAST is negotiated solely by the client as the first communication exchange when EAP-FAST is requested from the server. If the client does not have a pre-

shared secret Protected Access Credential (PAC), it is able to initiate a provisioning EAP-FAST exchange to dynamically obtain one from the server. EAP-FAST documents two methods to deliver the PAC: manual delivery through an out-of-band secure mechanism and automatic provisioning. l Manual delivery mechanisms are any delivery mechanism that the administrator of the network feels is sufficiently secure for their network. l Automatic provisioning establishes an encrypted tunnel to protect the authentication of the client and the delivery of the PAC to the client. This mechanism, while not as secure as a manual method may be, is more secure than the authentication method used in LEAP. The EAP-FAST method is divided into two parts: provisioning and authentication. The provisioning phase involves the initial delivery of the PAC to the client. This phase only needs to be performed once per client and user. Mixed-Cell Mode Some access points, for example Cisco 350 or Cisco 1200, support environments in which not all client stations support WEP encryption; this is called Mixed-Cell Mode. When these wireless networks operate in "optional encryption" mode, client stations that join in WEP mode, send all messages encrypted, and stations that use standard mode, send all messages unencrypted. These access points broadcast that the network does not use encryption, but allows clients that use WEP mode to join . When Mixed-Cell is enabled in a profile, it allows you to connect to access points that are configured for "optional encryption."

Radio Management When this feature is enabled your wireless adapter provides radio management information to the Cisco infrastructure. If the Cisco Radio Management utility is used on the infrastructure, it configures radio parameters, detects interference and rogue access points.
