Chapter 6 Wireless Setup

This chapter describes how to configure the Wireless operation using Menu 5 — Wireless Setup.

From the main menu, enter 5 to open Menu 5 –Wireless Setup.

The ExpWave AP forces the ExpWave AC into an unauthorized state that allows the AC to send only an EAP start message. The AP returns an EAP message requesting the user's identity. The AC returns the identity, which is then forwarded by the AP to the authentication server, which uses an algorithm to authenticate the user and then returns an accept or reject message back to the AP. Assuming an accept was received, the AP changes the client's state to authorized and normal traffic can now take place.

FIELD	DESCRIPTION	EXAMPLE
ESSID	(Extended Service Set IDentification) The ESSID identifies the	Wireless
	Service Set the station is to connect to. Wireless clients associating
	to the Access Point must have the same ESSID. Enter a descriptive
	name for the wireless LAN. This field can be up to 32 characters.
Channel ID	This allows you to set the operating frequency/channel depending on	CH01 2412
	your particular region. Use [space bar] to toggle.	MHz
	• CH01 2412 MHz / CH02 2417 MHz ~ CH11 2462 MHz (North
	America/FCC)
	• CH01 2412 MHz / CH02 2417 MHz ~ CH13 2472 MHz (Europe
	CE/ ETSI)
	• CH01 2412 MHz / CH02 2417 MHz ~ Ch14 2484 MHz (Japan)
	• CH10 2457 MHz / CH11 2462 MHz (Spain)
	• CH10 2457 MHz / CH11 2462 MHz ~ CH13 2472 MHz (France)
RTS	(Request To Send) The threshold (number of bytes) for enabling	2432
Threshold	RTS/CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value	(default)
	will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be
	larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size shall
	have the effect of turning off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this
	attribute to zero shall have the effect of turning on the RTS/CTS
	handshake. Enter a value between 0 and 2432.
Frag.	The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for	2432
Threshold	directed messages. Data will be transmitted in fragments with its size	(default)
	not exceeding this value. Enter a value between 256 and 2432. The
	value of this attribute shall never be less than 256.
WEP	(Wired Equivalent Privacy) To prevent unauthorized wireless stations	Disable /
	from accessing data transmitted over the network, the ExpWave 316	64-bit WEP /
	offers a data encryption, known as WEP to help encrypt wireless data	128-bit WEP
	transmitted via wireless medium. Disable allows wireless adapters to
