DESCRIPTION

Inner Mode

Sets the EAP-TTLS inner mode.

 

The WiMAX Device supports the following:

 

• MS-CHAP v2 - This is version 2 of Microsoft’s variant of Challenge

 

Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). It allows for mutual

 

authentication between devices.

 

• MS-CHAP- This is Microsoft’s variant of Challenge Handshake

 

Authentication Protocol (CHAP). It allows for mutual authentication between

 

devices.

 

• CHAP - The Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) uses PPP

 

to authenticate remote devices using a three-way handshake and shared

 

secret verification.

 

• MD5 - Message-Digest, algorithm 5, (MD5) encryption is typically used for

 

checking file integrity. Because this encryption protocol contains a number of

 

serious security flaws it is generally not recommended that you use it for

 

authentication security.

 

• PAP - Password Authentication Protocol uses unencrypted plaintext to send a

 

passwords for authentication over the network. It’s probably not a good idea

 

to rely on this for security.

6.5 Channel Plan Settings

This screen allows you to specify channel plan settings for Network Discovery and Selection (ND&S). The WiMAX Device uses ND&S to establish connections when it is roaming. To do this, the WiMAX Device will scan for base stations that are operated by Network Access Providers (NAP) that have service agreements with the subscriber’s service provider (Home-Network Service Provider or
