Using WPA of the Windows XP’s Utility

Note1: Before use the WPA feature, please install Windows XP Service Pack 1 with Windows XP support patch for Wi-Fi Protected Access program

Note2: Configure the card by wireless built-in utility (Wireless Zero Configuration).

Note3: All devices in the network should use the same encryption method to ensure the communication.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a specification of

standards-based, interoperable security enhancements

that strongly increase the level of data protection

(encryption) and access control (authentication) for

existing and future wireless LAN systems. The technical

components of WPA include Temporal Key Integrity

Protocol (TKIP) for dynamic key exchange, and 802.1x

for authentication.

Example :

13

Step 1: right click the icon to select “View Available Wireless Networks”.

Step 2:Click “Advanced” button from “Wireless Network Connection”.

14

Step3:Click “Configure” button to configure the WPA function for the current network.

15

Network Authentication

‧Open – No authentication is needed among the wireless

network.

‧Shared – Only wireless stations using a shared key (WEP

Key identified) are allowed to connecting each

other.

‧WPA – This mode is for enterprise with an authentication

server (Radius Server), WPA-enabled access

point, and a WPA-enabled client. Once WPA is

enabled, all clients and access points on the

network must be WPA-enabled in order to

access the network.

‧WPA-PSK – It is a special mode designed for home and

small business users who do not have

access to network authentication servers. In

this mode, known as Pre-Shared Key, the

user manually enters the starting password

in their access point or gateway, as well as in

each PC on the wireless network. WPA takes

over automatically from that point, keeping

unauthorized users that don't have the

matching password from joining the network,

while encrypting the data traveling between

authorized devices.

16

Data Encryption

‧WEP – In WPA or WPA-PSK mode, WEP is also able to be

the encryption method for the transmission data.

‧TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes

the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet

is a kind of message transmitted over a

network.) This insures much greater security

than the standard WEP security.

‧AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest

degree of security and authenticity for digital

information and it is the most advanced solution

defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the

wireless network.

Install Driver and Utility for Linux

NOTE 1: Before driver install, Please make sure below. System Environment:

Linux kernel 2.4

Wireless tool 16.

NOTE 2: Feature list:1. Full compliance with IEEE 802.11g standard

2. Support short preamble

3. Support RTS/CTS mechanism

4. Support de-fragmentation at receiving

5. Auto channel selection at system startup

6. Support static WEP keys of 64 and 128 bits

Known issues:1. Multicast Test is not supported.

2. Power save has not been implemented yet.

This document covers its available I/O control commands on

Linux platform.

32

To describe I/O control command support by TwinMOS

G101/G231 Station on Linux platform. This can be a user

interface developer’s reference to provide users a WEB or

command-line based control environment.

33

1. Installation steps:Step 1: Execute "insmod –f IPN2220STA.o "

at the directory where the IPN2220STA.o is located.

By default, the STA will find a non-WEP AP with the

most powerful signal strength to join.

Step 2: Execute "./iwconfig"

to display connection status

Step 3: Execute "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.xxx.xxx"

to assign an IP to STA. Notice that “wlan0” is the

device name of our STA.

After step 3, the connection is established.

2. Network related setting: Item 1: To change the MAC address of IPN2220 station,

execute

“./ifconfig wlan0 hw ether xxxxxxxxxxxx”

(xxxxxxxxxxxx denotes the new MAC address you want

to set)

before you specify an IP address to the IPN2220 station.

Item 2: To perform site survey,

execute

"./iwlist wlan0 scanning"

to scan all channels and display the scan results.

Notice that the wireless-extension version should be at

least 15 for iwlist/iwconfig utilities to execute this

command.

Item 3: To join a different BSS,

execute

"./iwconfig wlan0 essid XXX" (XXX denotes the essid of

AP you want to join)

Item 4: To specify the channel of the ad-hoc network

you want to create,

execute,

34

“./iwconfig wlan0 channel N” (N denotes the channel of

the ad-hoc network you want to create, from 1 to 11)

Item 5: To change from infrastructure mode to ad-hoc

mode,

execute

"./iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc"

then execute

"./iwconfig wlan0 essid XXX" (XXX means the essid you

want to set/join to the IBSS network)

Item 6: To change from ad-hoc mode to infrastructure

mode,

execute

"iwconfig wlan0 mode managed"

then execute

"./iwconfig wlan0 essid XXX" (XXX means the essid of


Item 7: To join different BSS,

execute

"./iwconfig wlan0 essid XXX" (XXX means the essid of


3. Network related setting: To enable WEP or change WEP key, please refer to the

instructions below:

(1) To set WEP key to key set $i, enable WEP and use

key set $i as WEP key, the command is "./iwconfig

wlan0 key xxxxxxxxxx [$i]" ,(xxxxxxxxxx denotes

WEP key)($i:1~4)

(2) If you execute "./iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxxxx" ,

(xxxxxxxxxx denotes the WEP key) without

specifying the key ID "[$i]", then the default WEP key

ID will be 1.

(3) To disable WEP at any time, the command is

"./iwconfig wlan0 key off".

35

(4) To enable WEP that you have set before via (1) or (2)

or (3), the command is "./iwconfig wlan0 key on".

(5)To enable WEP and use key set $i as WEP key.($i can

be 1~4) that you have set before via (1) or (2) or (3),

the command is "./iwconfig wlan0 key [$i]"

If you want to join a BSS with different WEP key setting,

execute the following two command.

(1) "./iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxxxx", (xxxxxxxxxx

denotes WEP key)

(2) "./iwconfig wlan0 essid XXX", (XXX denotes the

essid of AP you want to join)

(3) Notice, the executing sequence is unrelated in

infrastructure mode. But in ad-hoc mode, you must

execute (1) first or you will create an ad-hoc network

with the same SSID but different WEP setting.

4. Remove step: To turn off STA and remove the module,

execute

"ifconfig wlan0 down" then execute

"rmmod IPN2220STA"

NOTE: More detail setting please access to User’s Manual on CD.
