Restarts the device. After the device as

 

 

Press Restart [Button]

 

rebooted it will attempt to authenticate to the

 

 

 

configured network. As long as the network is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in range the wireless interface will connect.

 

 

 

 

 

If the network is using DHCP then an IP

 

 

 

 

 

address will be assigned to the WLAN interface

 

 

 

 

 

and IP connectivity is possible over the WLAN

 

 

 

 

 

network.

 

 

 

 

 

If the network is using static IP addresses it will

 

 

 

 

 

be necessary to configure the network

 

 

 

 

 

interface, see the next step.

however if the WLAN network does not have a

 

 

 

DHCP server available to provide IP address to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the device, it necessary to assign a static IP

 

 

 

 

 

address to the wireless interface.

 

 

 

 

 

Selecting Network Settings will allow us to

 

 

 

 

 

configure the device with a static IP address.

 

 

 

 

 

This is covered in section 19.0.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

18.4Configuring for PEAP Security

This security type is a very popular type for enterprise networks. Actual use of the security protocol requires the network is using a RADIUS server for device authentication, depending upon the security policies of the network this protocol supports authentication with and without a CA certificate.

The Airborne device supports PEAPv0 using both WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES- CCMP) encryption. The device will automatically use the most appropriate encryption type to obtain authentication to the WLAN.
