Adv anced Configuration 5-39 CLI Comman ds f or the System Clock – The f ollowing ex ample shows how to manually set the sys tem time when SNTP ser ver suppor t is disable d on the access point.
System Configuration 5-40 Radio Interface The IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g in terface includes configur ation options f or radio signal characteristics and wireless secu rity f eatures . The access point can operate in three modes , I EEE 802.11b only , 802.
Radio Interf ace 5-41 Radio Settings (802.11g) The IEEE 802.11g standard operates within the 2.4 GHz band at up to 54 Mbps. Also note that because th e IEEE 802.11g standard is an e xtension of the IEEE 802.11b standa rd, it allows clients with 802.11b wireless n etwork cards to associate to an 802.
System Configuration 5-42 Radio Channel – The radio channel that the ac cess point uses to communica te with wirel ess clients . When multiple access points are deplo yed in the same area, set t he channel on neighboring access points at lea st f our channels apar t to a v oid interf erence with each other .
Radio Interf ace 5-43 interfere with the operation of other radio devices in the ser vice area. (Option s: 100%, 50%, 25%, 12 %, minimum; Default: 100%) Maximum Station Data Rate – The maximu m data ra te at which a client can connect to the acce ss point.
System Configuration 5-44 sending of a data fr ame. After receivi ng an R TS frame, the stat ion sends a C TS (clear to send) frame to no tify the send ing station that it can start sending data. If the RTS threshold is set to 0, the access point nev er sends RTS signals.
Radio Interf ace 5-45 CLI Commands f or the 802.11g Wireless Int erf ace – F rom the global configur ation mode, ent er the inter face wireless g command to access the 802.11g r adio interfa ce. Set th e interf ace SSID using the ssid command and, if req uired, configure a name f or the interf ace using the descrip tion command.

Radio Interf ace 5-47 Security The SMC2552W -G is configured b y def ault as an “open system, ” which broadcasts a beacon signa l including the configur ed SSID . Wireless clients can read the SSI D from the beacon, a nd automatically r eset their SSID to allow immediate connect ion to the nearest a ccess po int.
System Configuration 5-48 The security mechanisms that ma y be emplo y ed depend on the le vel of security required, the netw ork and management resources a v ailab le , and the softw are support provided on wireless clients. A summa ry of wireless secu rity co nsiderations is listed in the f ollowing tab le.
Radio Interf ace 5-49 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) WEP provides a basic le ve l of security , prev enting unauthorized access to the netwo rk and encrypting data transmitted be tween wireless clients and the access point.
System Configuration 5-50 Setting up shared k eys enab les the basic I EEE 802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) on the access point to prev ent unauthorized access to t he network. If y ou choose to u se WEP shared k eys instead of an open system, be sure to define at least one static WEP k ey f or user authentica tion and data encryption.
Radio Interf ace 5-51 Shared Ke y Set up – Select 64 Bit, 128 Bit, or 15 2 Bit ke y length. Note that the same size of encr yption k ey must be supported on all wireless clients .
System Configuration 5-52 CLI Commands f or WEP Shared K ey Security – F rom the 802.11g inter f ace configuration mode , use the au thenticati on command to enab le WEP shared-ke y authentication and the encr yption command to enab l e WEP encryption.
Radio Interf ace 5-53 Note: The index and length values used in the key command must be the same values used in the encryption and transmit-key commands. CLI Commands f or WEP ov er 802.1x Security – F rom the 802.11g inter f ace configuration mode , use the au thenticati on command to select open system authentica tion.
System Configuration 5-54 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) WP A emplo ys a combination of se v eral techn ologies to pro vide an enhanced se curity solution f or 802.11 wireless networks. The SMC2552W -G suppor ts the f ollowin g WP A components and f eatures: IEEE 802.
Radio Interf ace 5-55 pre vents users from accide ntally joining a rogue netw or k. Only when a RADIUS ser ver has authent icated a user’ s credentials will encr yption k e ys be sent to the access point and client. Note: To implement WPA on wireless clients requi res a WPA-enabled network card driver and 802.
System Configuration 5-56 WP A security and which are using legacy WEP . The acce ss point uses TKIP unicast data encryption ke ys for WP A clients an d WEP unicast ke ys for WEP clients. The glo bal encr yption k ey f or multicast and broa dcast traffic must be the same for all clients, therefore it restri cts encr yption to a WEP key .
Radio Interf ace 5-57 WP A K ey Management – WP A can be configured to work in an enter prise environment using I EEE 802.1x and a RADIUS ser v er f or user authentication. F or smaller netw orks, WP A can be enab led using a common pre- shared k ey f or client authenticati on with the access point.
System Configuration 5-58 WP A Pre-Shar ed K ey T ype – If the WP A pre- shared-k ey mode is used, all wireless clients must be configured with the same k e y to communicate with the access point. • Hexadecimal: Enter a key as a strin g of 64 hexadecimal numb er s.
Radio Interf ace 5-59 CLI Commands f or WP A Pre-shared K ey Security – F rom the 802.11g inter f ace configuration mode , use the au thenticati on command to set the access poin t to “ Open System . ” Use the WEP encryption command to enable all types o f encr yption.
