Affirmative 7370 用户指南

 

 

Note: This document refers to “clicking” or “tapping” interchangeably, although the physical action is 
actually a tapping of the stylus on the YEStablet 7370 touchscreen.

 

 

 
The YEStablet is normally used as a wireless workstation.  For wireless operation, there must be 
802.11b access points available to provide the connection between YEStablets and the local Ethernet 
network.  Specific access point configuration depends upon the vendor and model, but here are some 
general guidelines. 
 

 
All points in an 802.11b wireless network share a unique name called a Service Set ID (SSID) or an 
Extended Service Set ID (ESSID).  In this document, the two terms will be used interchangeably.  This 
name is specified in each access point, and is configured in the YEStablet in one of two ways. 
•  Broadcast.  An access point can be configured to broadcast its SSID.   Under the zero 

configuration design of the wireless 802.11b LAN support under CE.net, the YEStablet 7370 will 
detect all broadcasted SSIDs within its range.  You can then select the desired access point for your 
connection. 

•  Non-Broadcast.  For security purposes, an access point may be configured to disable SSID 

broadcasts.  In this case, the SSID must be manually entered into the YEStablet’s wireless adaptor 
card configuration parameters.  Note that SSIDs are case-sensitive. 

 

 
In addition to SSIDs, two more-sophisticated security methods are available: 
 

WEP is a data privacy mechanism based on 64-bit or 128-bit encryption.  To use WEP encryption, all 
points in the wireless network must enable WEP and have the same 40-bit or 104-bit key setting.  WEP 
is disabled as default on the YEStablet. 
 

The new standard for wireless LAN security, as defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics 
Engineers (IEEE), is called 802.1X for 802.11, or simply 802.1X. An access point that supports 802.1X
