wireless network setup chapter 15 Wireless Network Adapter WPA (TKIP) WPA/PSK Each node (computer or device) on the WLAN uses a wireless network adapter into which a wireless transceiver, with a small, integrated antenna, is built. Wireless network adapters might be internal (inserted in a computer or device), external (housed in a separate case), or built-in (such as the adapter in the HP PSC). Common adapters include the following: • USB adapter: An external device that connects to a USB port on the computer (typically has a PCMCIA card attached to one end). • Notebook adapter: A PCMCIA card that plugs directly into one of the PCMCIA slots on your laptop or other portable computer. • Desktop computer adapter: A dedicated ISA or PCI card, or a PCMCIA card with a special adapter, that plugs into your desktop computer. • AirPort adapter: A wireless card that plugs directly into the AirPort slot on your Macintosh laptop or desktop computer. AirPort adapters eliminate the need for cable connections to the computer. Wi-Fi Protected Access. Provides standards-based, interoperable security to strongly increase the level of data protection and access control for a wireless LAN. To improve data encryption, WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). To strengthen user authentication, WPA implements 802.1x and the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). WPA supports two basic solutions: Enterprise and Home/ SOHO. In an enterprise environment with IT resources, Wi-Fi Protected Access is used in conjunction with an authentication server such as RADIUS to provide centralized access control and management. In a home/SOHO environment, WPA runs in a special home mode called Pre-Shared Key (PSK) which uses manually-entered keys or passwords to provide security. PSK is designed to be easy to set up for the home or small office user. Note: WPA/802.1x and WPA/PSK parameters can only be entered through the EWS. Wi-Fi Protected Access/Pre-Shared Key. In WPA/PSK authentication, clients are authenticated using a shared master secret key. See WPA (TKIP) above. Note: All devices on the network must use the same pre-shared key. The pre-shared key must be implemented through the HP PSC embedded Web server. 174 hp psc 2500 series
