Data Encryption AES-CCMP Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol. The new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. Choose AES-CCMP as the data encryption method whenever strong data protection is important. AES-CCMP is available with WPA/ WPA2 Personal/Enterprise network authentication.
security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide mutual authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is transmitted.
The USIM card is a special smart card used with cellular networks to validate a given user with the network. Authentication Protocols PAP Password Authentication Protocol is a two-way handshake protocol designed for use with PPP. Password Authentication Protocol is a plain text password used on older SLIP systems. It is not secure. Only available for TTLS Authentication Type.

Back to Contents Glossary of Terms Term Definition 802.11 The 802.11 standard refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN technology. The 802.11 specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless clients and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS). 802.11a The 802.
Ad Hoc Network A communication configuration in which every computer has the same capabilities, and any computer can initiate a communication session. Also known as a peer-to-peer network, a device to device network or a computer-to-computer network. AES-CCMP Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol is the new method for privacy protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP.
CKIP Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is a Cisco proprietary security protocol for encryption in 802.11 media. CKIP uses a key message integrity check and message sequence number to improve 802.11 security in infrastructure mode. CKIP is Cisco's version of TKIP. Client computer The computer that gets its Internet connection by sharing either the host computer's connection or the access point's connection. DSSS Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum.

The request contains a displayable message, and the response contains the string read from the hardware token card. EAP-OTP EAP-OTP (One-Time Password) is similar to MD5, except it uses the OTP as the response. The request contains a displayable message. The OTP method is defined in RFC 2289.

Part of the address designates which network the computer is on, and the other part represents the host identification. LAN (Local A high-speed, low-error data network covering a relatively small Area Network) geographic area.
PEAP Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft protocol sponsored by Microsoft, Cisco, and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypted tunnel similar to the tunnel used in secure web pages (SSL). Inside the encrypted tunnel, a number of other EAP authentication methods can be used to perform client authentication. PEAP requires a TLS certificate on the RADIUS server, but unlike EAPTLS there is no requirement to have a certificate on the client.
SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) A SIM card is used to validate credentials with the network. A SIM card is a special smart card used by GSM-based digital cellular networks. Silent mode Silent Mode Access Points or Wireless Routers have been configured to not broadcast the SSID for the wireless network. This makes it necessary to know the SSID in order to configure the wireless profile to connect to the access point or wireless router. Single Sign On Single Sign On feature set allows the 802.
TLS (Transport Layer Security) A type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS).

The TLS protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network through data encryption.
WiMAX WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications technology aimed at providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access.

Operation Mode Displays the current mode: ● Network (Infrastructure) A wireless network centered around an access point. In this environment, the access point not only provides communication with the wired network, but also mediates wireless network traffic in the immediate neighborhood. ● Device to Device (ad hoc) A communication configuration in which every computer has the same capabilities, and any computer can initiate a communication session.
Access Points in this Network <0-50> ● ● ● ● Signal Strength: The signal strength icon bars indicate the strength of the transmit and receive signals between your wireless adapter and the nearest access point. Displays one of the following icons: Indicates the band being used (802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n). Channel: Displays the current transmit and receive channel being used for a particular wireless network.

Connection Details Description Name Description Profile Name Name of the profile. Network Name Network Name (SSID) of the current connection.
Signal Quality A radio frequency (RF) signal can be assessed by two components: ● ● signal strength (quantity) signal quality The quality of the signal is determined by a combination of factors. Primarily it is composed of signal strength and the ratio of the RF noise present. RF noise occurs both naturally and artificially by electrical equipment. If the amount of the RF noise is high, or the signal strength is low, it results in a lower signal to noise ratio, which causes poorer signal quality.
Adapter MAC Address Media Access Control (MAC) address for the wireless adapter. Band Indicates the wireless band of the current connection. ● ● ● ● 802.11a 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n Number of Antennas in Use This indicates the number of antennas currently in use. This number depends on the band(s) that the various networks are currently using, the transmit/ receive modes in use on those bands, the signal strength, and the capabilities of the access point(s).
802.1X Authentication Type Displays None, EAP-SIM, TLS, TTLS, PEAP, LEAP, or EAP-FAST. See Security Overview for more information. 802.1X Authentication Protocol Displays None, PAP, GTC, CHAP, MS-CHAP, MS-CHAPV2 or TLS. See Security Overview for more information. CCX Version Version of the Cisco Compatible Extensions on this wireless connection. Current Tx Power The power level at which the wireless adapter is currently transmitting, in milliwatts.
AP Signal Strength The strength of the signal received from the access point, at the adapter. This value is given in milliwatts (mW) and may actually be in the picowatts range. This value varies, based on the distance between the AP and the adapter, obstacles that may interfere with the signal, and the power level at which the AP is transmitting. NOTE: This parameter is only visible when connected to a Cisco Systems access point.
