Appendix D Wireless LANs NWA1300-NJ User’s Guide 11 7 An ESSID (ES S IDentification) uniquely id entifies each ESS . All access points and their associated wirel ess clients within the same ESS must have the same ESSID in order to comm unicate.

Appendix D Wireless LANs NWA1300-NJ User’s Guide 11 9 Fragment ation Threshold A Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fr agment size (between 256 and 2432 bytes) that can be sent in th e wireless network before the AP will fragment the packet into smaller dat a frames.

Appendix D Wireless LANs NWA1300-NJ User’s Guide 123 However , MD 5 authenti cation has s ome weaknesses. Since the authentication server needs to get the plaintext password s, t he passwords must be stored. Thus someone other th an the authenti cation server m ay access the pas sword file.
Appendix D Wireless LANs NWA1300-NJ User’s Guide 124 Dynamic WEP Key Exchange The AP maps a unique key that is generated with t he RADIUS server . This key expires when the wireless connection ti me s out, disconnec ts or reauthentication times out.
Appendix D Wireless LANs NWA1300-NJ User’s Guide 125 If the AP or the wireless clients do no t support WP A2, just use WP A or WPA -PSK depending on whether you hav e an external RADIUS server or not. Select WEP only when the AP and/or wirel ess clients do not support WP A or WP A2.

Appendix D Wireless LANs NWA1300-NJ User’s Guide 127 4 The RADIUS server distributes the PMK to the AP . The AP th en sets up a key hierarchy and management system, usin g the PMK to dynamica lly generate unique data encryption k eys.
Appendix D Wireless LANs NWA1300-NJ User’s Guide 128 4 The AP and wireless clients use the TKIP or AES encryption process, the PMK and information exchanged in a handshake to create tempor al encryption keys. They use these keys to encrypt data exchanged between them.
Appendix D Wireless LANs NWA1300-NJ User’s Guide 129 Antenna Overview An antenna couples RF signals onto air . A transmitter wit hin a wireless device sends an RF signal to the antenna, whic h propagates the signal through the air . The antenna also operates in reverse by capturing RF signals from the air .
Appendix D Wireless LANs NWA1300-NJ User’s Guide 130 • Omni-directional ante nnas send the RF sign al out in all directions on a horiz ontal plane. The cover age area is torus-sh aped (like a donut) which makes these antennas ideal for a room environment.
