5 Wireless LAN with 802.11b Overview The IK8560CE, IK8560CEUE, IK8570E, and IK8570EUE have on-board 2.4 GHz 802.11b WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) radios that uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology. The signal is spread continuously over a wide frequency band at a data rate of up to 11 Mbps. The radio is interoperable with other 802.11b Wi-Fi-compliant products including Access Points (APs), PCs via PC card adapters and other wireless portable devices. Configuring the 802.11b Radio The IK8560CE, IK8560CEUE, IK8570E, and IK8570EUE contain the AEGIS Client®, a comprehensive IEEE 802.1x tool to set up the on-board 802.11b radio. The Client is a standards-based implementation of IEEE 802.1x and can be configured to work with almost any network equipment-wired or wireless-that supports the 802.1x authentication standard. The Client is interoperable with 802.1x-capable wireless APs and authentication servers including Microsoft's IAS and Cisco's ACS. The Client uses public key authentication and encryption between Wireless APs (WAP) and roaming stations to exchange dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) keys. In addition, network managers can control 802.1x user profiles from a centralized RADIUS server or, in the case of TTLS, from a RADIUS Diameter or other AAA servers. The Client supports both wireless and ethernet interfaces. Supported Protocols Authentication The Client supports the following authentication methods according to the 802.1x protocols: • MD5 • EAP TLS • EAP TTLS • Cisco LEAP and PEAP • Microsoft PEAP Encryption The Client supports the following encryptions methods: • WEP (64-bit and 128-bit) • TKIP The Client can also configure the 802.11b without authentication or encryption; see Associating With Open APs on page 5-14. Required Network Configuration Information Because the Client accesses a network that is protected by the IEEE 802.1x protocol, you must configure EAP data communication to match your network server parameters. If the EAP configuration doesn't match your network configuration, you can't access the network. Therefore, make sure you have the correct network server parameters on hand when you configure the client. Opening the Client Double tap the icon in the command bar.
