Select TLS and then [Configure] to configure TLS options. After se- 25 You must have a digital certificate installed on your machine. If you do not, you will see the following error message: To configure PEAP, make sure WPA is selected. Then select PEAP and then [Configure]. Enter the User name and Password. After that click the [Advanced Configuration] button, you can then specify the Server or Domain and Login Name information. 26 For configuring 802. 1x security method, select 802. 1x under "Set Security Method", you will be given the option of using 802. 1x EAP Type: TLS, PEAP, or LEAP. Click TLS and then [Configure] to configure TLS options. You must have a digital certificate installed on your machine. If you do not, you will see the following error message: Click PEAP and then [Configure] to configure PEAP options. After that click the [Advanced Configuration] button, you can then specify the Server or Domain and Login Name information. Click LEAP and then [Configure] to configure LEAP options. 28 NOTE: PLEASE CONSULT YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR FOR ASSISTANCE IN CONFIGURING THESE ADVANCED SECURITY OPTIONS. In addition to WPA and 802. 1x, there are the options to enable WEP (Pre-Shared Key) or the new Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) on your wireless LAN. For WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) security, the SMC2536W-AG Utility supports HEX and ASCII key entries. For the HEX Key Format, the security is enabled by entering 10-digit keys for the 64-bit WEP configuration, 26-digit keys for a 128-bit WEP configuration, and 32-digit keys for a 152-bit WEP configuration. For the ASCII Key Format, the security is enabled by entering 5 characters for 64-bit WEP, 13 characters for 128-bit WEP and 16 characters for 152-bit WEP. Click Pre-Shared Key and select the [Configure] button to enter in WEP keys. Select the desired encryption strength from the drop-down menu on the right (64-, 128- or 152-bit) and then enter the appropriate keys in Key 1, 2, 3, or 4. Remember to select the correct radio button on the left. Then click [OK]. 29 For WPA-PSK Security, select WPA-PSK under "Set Security Method", and then click [Configure] to enter your WPA key. After selecting the Configure option, you will be able to set your WPA Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK). WPA-PSK supports both Passphrase (8-63 Characters) and Hexadecimal (64 Characters) keys. NOTE: WPA is currently available under Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Support for Windows 98SE/ME will be available in Q1 of 2004. 30 Under the Profile Management Window, click on [Advanced] tab for advanced configurations.

Section 8. 2 | Link Information 31 Associated BSS ID: Shows the MAC Address of the associated Access Point Channel: Shows the current operating channel of your WLAN Current Tx Rate: Current transmit rate value Throughput: Number of packets sent and received SSID: Workgroup name of the wireless network that you are connected to Encryption: Displays the current Encryption used on the Network. Link Quality: Shows the relative link quality (e. g. , lack of frame errors) of the wireless connection to the Access Point. Section 8. 3 | IP Information The IP Information screen displays network connection information. Includes [Release] and [Renew] buttons to release and renew the IP address. Section 8. 4 | Site Survey The Site Survey tab scans and displays all Access Points on the wireless LAN. The data is organized by columns signifying the "SSID", "Channel", "Encryption" (a KEY symbol), "Signal", and "Wireless Mode". If there is a key symbol in the Encryption column, the network is encrypted. [. . . ] Medium Dependent Interface ­ X (crossed) - A port on a network hub or switch that crosses the transmit lines coming in to the receive lines going out. NAT ­ (Network Address Translation) This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. The NAT capability of the Barricade, allows you to access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP. Network Address Translation can be used to give multiple users access to the Internet with a single user account, or to map the local address for an IP server (such as Web or FTP) to a public address.
