GN-1041 Operator’s Manual — Before Setting Up Wireless Network

11

In the Ad Hoc Mode, client computers can access to the equipment directory through a 
wireless network without an Access Point.  The Ad Hoc Mode is not suitable for the 
wireless network that many computers are connected, however, it is easy to establish 
the wireless network because the Access Point is not required.

In the wireless network, the same SSID (Service Set ID) must be assigned in each wire-
less device.  Only wireless devices that have the same SSID assigned to them can 
communicate with each other through the wireless network.

In the Infrastructure Mode, the SSID is usually set in the Access Point.  Therefore, you 
must set the same SSID in this equipment to communicate through the wireless net-
work via the Access Point.

In the Ad Hoc Mode, you must assign the same SSID that is assigned to other client 
computers.  To access the devices each other in the Ad Hoc Mode, the same SSID 
must be assigned to each device.

This equipment supports the following wireless security modes.

WPA/WPA2/802.1x
Using the WPA/WPA2/802.1x authentication, you can restrict the access to the wireless 
network using the RADIUS server.  The WPA/WPA2/802.1x authentication is available 
only when the wireless network is established in the Infrastructure Mode.
There are two protocols for the WPA/WPA2/802.1x authentication, EAP-TLS or PEAP.
When using the EAP-TLS authentication, you must install user certification file (must be 
either DER, BASE64, or PKCS#7 encoding format) and CA certification file (must be 
exported as a private key in PKCS#7 encoding format) in the equipment.  This equip-
ment uses the user certification file to authenticate the access rights to the wireless net-
work, and the RADIUS server authenticate this equipment using the user ID and 
password.
