which has received the US government’s seal of approval for communications

up to the Top Secret security level. Since WPA2-PSK uses the same pre-shared

key mechanism as WPA-PSK, the same caveat against using insecure or

simple passwords applies.

6.1.5.1

WPS

WiFi-Protected Setup (WPS) is a standardized method of allowing wireless devices

to quickly and easily join wireless networks, while maintaining a good level of

security. The BVW-3653 provides two methods of WPS authentication:

±

Push-Button Configuration

(PBC)

: when the user presses the

PBC

button on

the AP (either a physical button, or a virtual button in the GUI), any user of a

wireless client that supports WPS can press the corresponding

PBC

button on

the client within two minutes to join the network.

±

Personal Identification Number (PIN) Configuration

: all WPS-capable

devices possess a PIN (usually to be found printed on a sticker on the device’s

housing). When you configure another device to use the same PIN, the two

devices authenticate with one another.

Once authenticated, devices that have joined a network via WPS use the WPA2

security standard.

6.1.6

WMM

WiFi MultiMedia (WMM) is a Quality of Service (QoS) enhancement that allows

prioritization of certain types of data over the wireless network. WMM provides four

data type classifications (in priority order; highest to lowest):

±

Voice

±

Video

±

Best effort

±

Background

If you wish to improve the performance of voice and video (at the expense of other,

less time-sensitive applications such as Internet browsing and FTP transfers), you

can enable WMM. You can also edit the WMM QoS parameters, but are disadvised

to do so unless you have an extremely good reason to make the changes.

Run WPS

Use these buttons to run Wifi Protected Setup (WPS):

±

Click the

PBC

button to begin the Push-Button

Configuration process. You must then press the PBC

button on your client wireless devices within two

minutes in order to register them on your wireless

network.

±

Click the

button to begin the PIN configuration

process. In the screen that displays, enter the WPS

PIN that you want to use for the BVW-3653, or the

SSID Setting

This displays

Primary SSID

.

NOTE:

You may have additional BSSIDs, depending on

your contract with your service provider.

SSID Name

Enter the name that you want to use for your wireless

network. This is the name that identifies your network,

and to which wireless clients connect.

NOTE:

It is suggested that you change the SSID from its

default, for security reasons.

Hidden

Use this field to make your network visible or invisible to

other wireless devices.

±

Select the checkbox if you do not want the BVW-

3653 to broadcast the network name (SSID) to all

wireless devices in the coverage area. Anyone who

wants to connect to the network must know the

SSID.

±

Deselect the checkbox if you want your network

name (SSID) to be public. Anyone with a wireless

device in the coverage area can discover the SSID,

and attempt to connect to the network.
