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 > Basic Screen
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
PIN
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
0
~
9
and the letters
A
~
F
).
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.
