WIRELESS

6.3.2.2

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.

THE WIRELESS SCREENS

This section describes each of the screens that display when you click

Wireless

the toolbar.

6.4.1

THE BASIC SCREEN

Use this screen to configure your CVE-30360’s basic wireless settings. You can turn

the wireless module on or off, select the wireless mode and channel, run WPS and

configure the wireless network’s SSID.

Click

Wireless

Basic

. The following screen displays.

Wireless Basic Settings

Wireless ON/OFF

Use this field to turn the wireless network on or off.



Select

ENABLE

to turn the wireless network on.



Deselect

DISABLE

to turn the wireless network off.

Wireless Mode

Select the type of wireless network that you want to use:



11B/G Mixed

: use IEEE 802.11b and 802.11n



11B Only

: use IEEE 802.11b



11G Only

: use IEEE 802.11g



11N Only

: use IEEE 802.11n



11G/N Mixed

: use IEEE 802.11g and 802.11N



11B/G/N Mixed

: use IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g and

802.11N

NOTE:

Only wireless clients that support the network

protocol you select can connect to the wireless

network. If in doubt, use

11B/G/N

(default).

Channel

Select the wireless channel that you want to use, or

select

Auto

to have the CVE-30360 select the optimum

channel to use.

NOTE:

Use the

Auto

setting unless you have a specific

reason to do otherwise.

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 CVE-30360, or the

WPS PIN of the client device you want to add to the

network.

THE SECURITY SCREEN

Use this screen to configure authentication and encryption on your wireless network.

NOTE:

It is strongly recommended that you set up security on your network;

otherwise, anyone in the radio coverage area can access your network.

Click

Wireless

Security

. The following screen displays.

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 CVE-

30360 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.

In Service

This field controls whether or not the SSID is in

operation.

NOTE:

At the time of writing, this field is not user-

configurable.

WMM Mode

Select the checkbox if you want to apply Wifi MultiMedia

(WMM) Quality of Service (QoS) settings to this SSID.

SSID

Select the SSID for which you want to configure

security.

NOTE:

At the time of writing, only one SSID is available.

Security Mode

Select the type of security that you want to use.



Select

None

to use no security. Anyone in the

coverage area can enter your network.



Select

WEP

to use the Wired Equivalent Privacy

security protocol.



Select

WPA-Personal

to use the WiFi Protected

Access (Personal) security protocol.

NOTE:

Due to inherent security vulnerabilities, it is

suggested that you use

WEP

only if it is the only

security protocol your wireless clients support.

Under almost all circumstances, you should use

WPA-Personal

WEP Settings

NOTE:

These fields are only configurable when you select

WEP

from the

Security

Mode

list.

WEP Key Length

Use this field to specify the length of the security key

used to allow wireless devices to join the network. The

longer the key, the more secure it is.



Select

64-bit

to use a ten-digit security key.



Select

128-bit

to use a twenty-six-digit security key.

WEP Key 1~4

Use these fields to define the security keys that all

wireless devices on the network must use to join the

network.

The CVE-30360 supports up to four WEP keys, of which

you can select one as the default. You should input the

same four keys, in the same order, in your network’s

wireless clients. Your CVE-30360 and your wireless

clients can use different default keys, as long as all four

keys are present and in the same order. If your wireless

client supports only a single WEP key, use the CVE-

30360’s default key.

Enter the keys in hexadecimal format (using the digits

and the letters

Default WEP Key

Select the number of the security key that you want the

CVE-30360 to use as its default authentication key for

transmissions.

Authentication

Select the authentication mode that you want to use:



Select

Open System

to allow wireless clients to

authenticate (identify themselves) to the CVE-30360

before presenting their security credentials (WEP

keys).



Select

Shared Key

to use the WEP key in the

authentication process. When a client wants to

associate, the CVE-30360 sends an unencrypted

challenge message. The client must use the WEP

key to encrypt the challenge message and return it to

the CVE-30360, which then decrypts the message

and compares the result with its original message.

Open System

authentication is the more secure of the

two authentication types, since while the

Shared Key

system appears more robust, it is possible to derive

secure data by capturing the challenge messages.



Select

Automatic

to have the CVE-30360 choose

the authentication method.
