formation).

The IWE3200-Hsupports the built-in user database for local authentication, this function also associ- ates the optional external mini-POS Ticket Printer for billing printing purpose. The setup scenario is shown in Fig 28. Please also refer to Sec. 2.4.7.3 for detail operation instruction of mini-POS, keypad, and ticket printing.

2.6. Setting up Client Computers

Before a wireless user can access the Internet through the IWE3200-H, the wireless and TCP/IP set- tings of his/her computer or PDA must be configured adequately to match the environment of IWE3200-H. In addition, if Web redirection or IEEE 802.1x EAP-MD5 authentication methods are used, user name and password information must be set up on the RADIUS server. On the other hand, if IEEE 802.1x EAP-TLS authentication method is used, a digital certificate must be installed on the computer or PDA and on the back end RADIUS server.

2.6.1. Configuring IEEE 802.11-Related Settings

Before the TCP/IP networking system of a wireless client computer can communicate with other hosts, the underlying wireless link must be established between this wireless computer and a deployed AP or the wireless access Router’s built-in AP.

To establish a wireless link to an AP:

1.Launch the configuration/monitoring utility provided by the vendor of the installed WLAN NIC.

2.Use the utility to make appropriate operating mode, SSID and WEP settings.

A wireless client computer must be in infrastructure mode, so that it can associate with a wireless ac- cess point. Also, the SSID of the wireless client computer and the SSID of the deployed APs must be identical. Or, in case the SSID broadcasts capability of the deployed APs is enabled (by default), the SSID of the wireless client computer could be set to “any”.
