(Standards support varies by client product) This user manual covers the following ORiNOCO Wireless Client products: l ORiNOCO 11a/b/g ComboCard l ORiNOCO 11b/g PC Card l ORiNOCO 802.11a/b ComboCard l ORiNOCO 11a/b/g PCI Card The basic installation and client utility setting described in the following chapters can be applied to all four products; only some of the specifications are different. These differences are explained later in this chapter. The ORiNOCO Wireless Client supports Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition (ME), and Windows 98 Second Edition (SE). Computers with an ORiNOCO Wireless Client installed “look” like standard network nodes to the operating system. The ORiNOCO Wireless Client can be used with other 802.11a, 802.11b or 802.11g devices to form a stand-alone wireless Peer-to-Peer Group* or used in conjunction with an Access Point infrastructure to provide mobile clients with wireless access to an Ethernet network. Proxim is a leading manufacturer of wireless networking equipment. Proxim’s unmatched expertise in radio networking technology, combined with the company’s extensive experience serving the communication needs of the mobile…

ORiNOCO Wireless Client User Guide Chapter 4 Proxim Client Utility Configuration 31 Per User Key – Defines the unique encryption key for network configuration security. The Per User key is used with many authentication mechanism and encryption. Shared Keys – Determines a set of shared encryption keys (First, Second, Third, Fourth) used for wireless encryption and security. At least one Shared Key field must be populated to enable security using a shared key. If more then one key is defined then click the appropriate radio button to select a key as the default encryption key. Key Length – The options for Key Length are u 64 bit encryption (10 digits in HEX mode) u 128 bit encryption (26 digits in HEX mode) u 152 bit encryption (32 digits in HEX mode) The number of characters that may be entered in the encryption key field will be automatically determined by the Key length setting. Setting WPA PassPhrase Encryption WPA is a new standard-based wireless security solution developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPA also supports the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) security standard. Microsoft provides a security patch called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected Access” on its website for free download and it works only with Windows XP. The WPA encryption is supported on Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition. There are two types of WPA security: l WPA-PSK (with no server) – it uses the so-called “pre-shared key” as the security key. A pre-shared key is basically a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can be any combination of letters, numbers, and other characters. This is the typical mode that is used in a home environment. l WPA (with server) – it is a system where a RADIUS server distributes the keys to the clients automatically. It is typically used in a business environment. To enable WPA with a passphrase (WPA-PSK), select Pre-Shared Keys from the Security Options list and place a check mark in the WPA box. ORiNOCO Wireless Client User Guide Chapter 4 Proxim Client Utility Configuration 32 Figure 4-12 Defined Pre-Shared Keys Icon with WPA Selected The Define WPA PSK window appears as shown in Figure 4-13. Enter your passphrase text strings to complete the configuration process. Figure 4-13 Defined WPA PassPhrase Setting Dynamic Security Authentication The Dynamic Security setting prevents unauthorized network access; a network RADIUS server must authenticate each user before he/she gains access to the network. To configure the Dynamic Security settings for a particular profile, select Dynamic Security and select TLS mode (Figure 4-14), PEAP mode (Figure 4-16), or LEAP mode (Figure 4-19) on the ORiNOCO Wireless Client User Guide Chapter 4 Proxim Client Utility Configuration 33 drop-down menu. The LEAP mode on the drop-down menu can only be seen when the WPA checkbox is not selected, because the WPA does not apply to the LEAP function. When selected, click the Configure button to configure the settings described below. Figure 4-14 Dynamic Security with TLS Authentication Define Certificate The Define Certificate dialog appears after you click the Configure button. The field name “Select a Certificate” that can only be seen under the TLS mode is designed to authenticate the user to the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In Service) server from the drop-down menu. Figure 4-15 Define Certificate for TLS Mode ORiNOCO Wireless Client User Guide Chapter 4 Proxim Client Utility Configuration 34 ♦ Use Any Certificate Authority – Click this radio button to use any Certificate Authority for authentication. ♦ Choose a Certificate Authority – Click this radio button and choose the desired Certificate Authority for authentication from the drop-down menu. ♦ Server/Domain Name – Enter either the RADIUS server name or domain name for your RADIUS server. ♦ Login Name – Enter the RADIUS server login name. Select “PEAP” from the drop-down menu under the Dynamic Security mode to configure the WPA authentication for PEAP as shown in Figure 4-16 and Figure 4-17. Figure 4-16 Dynamic Security with PEAP Authentication ORiNOCO Wireless Client User Guide Chapter 4 Proxim Client Utility Configuration 35 Figure 4-17 Define Certificate for PEAP Mode The “Define User Information” is for PEAP and LEAP mode only. Click the Define User Information button and fill in the Define User Information dialog as shown in Figure 4-18. Figure 4-18 Define User Information for PEAP Mode Select “LEAP” from the drop-down menu to set the Dynamic Security method to LEAP as shown in Figure 4-19 and Figure 4-20. ORiNOCO Wireless Client User Guide Chapter 4 Proxim Client Utility Configuration 36 Figure 4-19 Dynamic Security with LEAP Authentication Figure 4-20 Define User Information for LEAP Mode 4-3-2-1 Setting up WPA in Windows XP Follow the instructions below to set up WPA in “ Windows wireless network utility”. 1. Under Windows XP, click “Start > Control Panel > Network Connections”. ORiNOCO Wireless Client User Guide Chapter 4 Proxim Client Utility Configuration 37 2. Right-click on “Wireless Network Connection”, and select “Properties”. 3. Clicking on the “Wireless Networks” tab will display the following screen. Make sure the “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings” box is checked. 4. Under the “Wireless Networks” tab, click the “Configure” button and you will see the following screen. ORiNOCO Wireless Client User Guide Chapter 4 Proxim Client Utility Configuration 38 5. Select “WPA” under “Network Authentication”. 6. Select “TKIP” or “AES” under “Data Encryption”. This setting has to be identical to the Access Point that you set up. 7. For Home or Small Business User, enter your encryption key in the “Network Key” box. It can be from eight to 63 characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. You must use the very same key on all the clients that you set up. If you are using this computer to connect to a corporate network that includes a RADIUS server, consult your network adm…
