User’s Guide

Anonymous Identity Enter the anonymous identity provided by your Internet

Service Provider. Anonymous identity (also known as outer

identity) is used with EAP-TTLS encryption. The anonymous

identity is used to route your authentication request to the

correct authentication server, and does not reveal your real

user name. Your real user name and password are encrypted

in the TLS tunnel, and only the anonymous identity can be

seen.

Leave this field blank if your ISP did not give you an

anonymous identity to use.

PKM This field displays the Privacy Key Management version

number. PKM provides security between the WiMAX Modem

and the base station. At the time of writing, the WiMAX

Modem supports PKMv2 only. See the WiMAX security

appendix for more information.

Authentication This field displays the user authentication method.

Authentication is the process of confirming the identity of a

mobile station (by means of a username and password, for

example).

Check with your service provider if you are unsure of the

correct setting for your account.

Choose from the following user authentication methods:

•TTLS (Tunnelled Transport Layer Security)

•TLS (Transport Layer Security)

Note: Not all WiMAX Modems support TLS authentication. Check with your service provider for details.

TTLS Inner EAP This field displays the type of secondary authentication

method. Once a secure EAP-TTLS connection is established,

the inner EAP is the protocol used to exchange security

information between the mobile station, the base station and

the AAA server to authenticate the mobile station. See the

WiMAX security appendix for more details. The WiMAX

Modem supports the following inner authentication types:

•CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol)

•MSCHAP (Microsoft CHAP)

•MSCHAPV2 (Microsoft CHAP version 2)

•PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)

Certificate This is the security certificate the WiMAX Modem uses to

authenticate the AAA server. Use the TOOLS > Certificates

> Trusted CA screen to import certificates to the WiMAX

Modem.
