Affirmative 7370 Guida Utente

and its protocol, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), acts as the interface between a wireless 
client and an authentication server to which the access point communicates over the wired network.  
The wireless client adapter uses a user name and password to perform mutual authentication with the 
authentication server through the access point.  Then a WEP key is dynamically assigned to the adapter.  
EAP is disabled as default on the YEStablet. 
 
Note: In order to use EAP authentication, your client adapter and access point firmware must have 
matching 802.1X draft standards (i.e. draft 8, draft 10, etc.).  
 

 
The exact configuration parameters and configuration interface are dependent upon the type of wireless 
LAN adapter card being used with the YEStablet.  If you go to Control Panel Æ Network and Dial-
up Connections, you will see that the YEStablet automatically creates a connection here for the type of 
adapter card that it detects on boot-up.  Currently, the YEStablet 7370 supports two adapter cards: 
•  Z-Com XL-325. 

•  Cisco Aironet 350. 
 
Double-click on the connection icon to configure IP Address and Name Servers for either adapter 
card. 
 

 
The IP address for your YEStablet can be obtained in one of two ways.  Select the appropriate radio 
button to match your preference. 
•  Obtain an IP address via DHCP.  The YEStablet obtains an IP address automatically from a 

DHCP server on the network.  The YEStablet will ask for an address assignment every time it is 
booted up, and hence the IP address may change occasionally. 

•  Specify an IP address.  The YEStablet IP address is a static assignment.  Enter that static address 

in IP Address, along with the Subnet Mask and the Default Gateway (if there is one) IP address. 

 

 
Name servers convert “friendly” device names to device IP addresses, which are necessary to actually 
communicate with other devices on your internal network or on the Internet.  If you have chosen DHCP 
address assignment, the DHCP server may be configured to automatically provide these name server 
addresses.  If you have chosen static address assignment, or if the DHCP server does not provide these 
addresses, you will have to enter them here. 
 

 
The standard wireless adapter card in the YEStablet is the Z-Com XL-325 Wireless PC Card.  If the 
YEStablet detects the Z-Com adapter, you will see a PRISMNDS1 icon in Control Panel Æ Network 
and Dial-up Connections and one of the two icons below in the System Tray.
