14.01.2005 KA_GB_1054_data.fm Special dangers for radio networks A WLAN is particularly vulnerable to external attacks because anyone can connect up to such a network without any great technical difficulties. Another notebook with a radio adaptor is all that is required. For this reason it is highly recommendable to immediately change the SSID, activate the encryption and to choose a complex code when you put the device into operation for the first time.

14.01.2005 KA_GB_1054_data.fm SSID All computers in the domain of a WLAN (wireless local network, radio network) must have the same identity in order to be recognized by the other computers. It only makes sense to use the SSID of a network which is within your range. 1 (Only if you use more than one profile) Select the profile you would like to assign an SSID to. 2 Click the opening arrow to the right of the SSID entry field.

14.01.2005 KA_GB_1054_data.fm Setting the channel If you are using an ad hoc network, you can define the radio channel on which the computers communicate with one another. If ad hoc is selected, the Kanal (channel) field is activated. You cannot set the radio channel in an infrastructure network because you have to use the channel on which the access point is transmitting and receiving. For this reason, no setting can be made in an infrastructure network.

WPA-PSK: (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key = privacy comparable to that of a wired system, but greater than WEP) using a varying encryption key, but a shared starting key) A method similar to WPA. The change arises from a code mix from the client-related, static pre-shared key.

Then enter the value used in the network, as specified, into the Standardschlüssel (standard code) field. 4 Click Übernehmen (Apply).

If WPA with RADIUS Server is employed in the WLAN: There are two ways in which you can employ WPA with RADIUS Server: The menu option WPA mit RADIUS Server uses the TKIP protocol, the menu option WPA2 mit RADIUS Server employs the AES protocol. Which of these you use is dependent upon the Tiny Server in your network.

14.01.2005 KA_GB_1054_data.fm Status tab This register card gives you information about the status of the network. No settings can be made here. Zugeordnete BSSID (MAC (Assigned BSSID (MAC) tells you hexadecimally the identity of the network in the form of the MAC address of the access point. This information helps a network expert to find any possible faults. SSID shows you the identity of this profile.

14.01.2005 KA_GB_1054_data.fm Netzübersicht (Network overview) tab This register card shows you all the radio networks which are within your range. SSID tells you the recognized access points in the network which can be accessed, but only if the SSID of the access point or router concerned has not been suppressed. BSSID tells you the MAC address of this access point. Kanal (Channel) tells you the radio channel which each network is using.
