Field

Description

 

 

Network Channel

This field specifies the IEEE 802.11 channel that the access point uses.

 

 

Pairwise Cipher

This field specifies information about how the access point manages encryption keys for

 

a user account on the network. You can configure an access point to support multiple

 

pairwise ciphers. You can use a pairwise cipher with a group cipher.

 

 

Group Cipher

This field specifies information about how the access point manages encryption keys for

 

all user accounts on the network or locally. You can use a pairwise cipher with a group

 

cipher.

 

The group ciphers have one of the following values:

 

None

 

WEP 40

 

WEP 104

 

TKIP

 

AES-CCMP

 

An access point that you configure to support multiple pairwise ciphers is only as strong

 

as the weakest pairwise cipher.

 

 

Gateway Address

This field specifies the IP address of the gateway that routes any packets that the

 

gateway sends outside the local network. In an enterprise Wi-Fi network, this field

 

specifies the IP address of the organization’s LAN gateway. In a personal Wi-Fi network,

 

this field specifies the internal IP address of the router for the home network.

 

 

DHCP

This field specifies the status of the DHCP connection to the BlackBerry device. When a

 

check mark displays, DHCP is complete.

 

 

Primary DNS

This field specifies the address of an optional computer that translates host names into

 

IP addresses.

 

 

Secondary DNS

This field specifies the address of an optional computer that translates host names into

 

IP addresses. The BlackBerry device can use the secondary DNS server if the primary

 

DNS is not available.

 

 

DNS Suffix

This field specifies the domain name suffix, such as .com or .org.

 

 

Subnet Mask

This field specifies information about the subnet base for the IP address tha the access

 

point assigned to the BlackBerry device.

 

 

Server Domain Suffix

This field specifies the domain name suffix for the network that the BlackBerry device is

 

associated with.
