but “11b Preamble” will, and the channel selection in the session 7 will show up as well.
5. TX Power: Transmit power, the amount of power used by a radio transceiver to send the signal
out. User can choose power value by sliding the bar.
6. Preamble: There are three types, Auto, Long and Short are supported.
7. Ad hoc wireless mode: There are five types. 802.11B only, 802.11 B/G mixed 802.11A only,
802.11a/b/g mixed and 802.11G only modes are supported.
8. RTS Threshold: User can adjust the RTS threshold number by sliding the bar or key in the value
directly. The default value is 2312.
9. Fragment Threshold: User can adjust the RTS threshold number by sliding the bar or key in the
value directly. The default value is 2312.

frequency to start their ad-hoc network.
Profile function is based on the needs to set up the most linkable AP in order to record the system
configuration and to set up the authentication security. The function of each session is shown below
-15- AirLive MIMO-G Wireless LAN Adapter User’s Manual

4-2 Authentication & Security
As shown in picture . When the Encryption feature is enabled, the other setups are same as the said
WEP setting.
1. Authentication Type: There are three type of authentication modes supported by utility
. They are open, Shared, WPA-PSK and WPA system.
2. 802.1x Setting: It will display to set when user use radius server to authenticate client certificate
for WPA authentication mode. The detail operation will explain in section 5-6 Configure
connection with WPA by 802.1x setting
3. Encryption Type: For open and shared authentication mode, the selection of encryption type are
None and WEP. For WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, the
encryption type supports both TKIP and AES.
4. WPA Pre-shared Key: This is the shared secret betweenAP and STA. For WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK authentication mode, this field must be filled with character longer than 8 and less
than 32 length.
5. WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. The key must matched AP key.
There are several formats to enter the keys.
i. Hexadecimal、40bits：10 Hex characters.
ii. Hexadecimal、128bits：32Hex characters.
-16- AirLive MIMO-G Wireless LAN Adapter User’s Manual

iii. ASCII、40bits：5 ASCII characters.
iv. ASCII、128bits：13 ASCII characters.
4-2-1 802.1x Setting
802.1x is a authentication for 『WPA』and 『WPA2』certificate to server. Show as figure
1. Authentication type:
i. PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely
authentication data by using tunneling between PEAP clients and an authentication
server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients using only server-side
certificates, thus simplifying the implementation and administration of a secure
wireless LAN.
ii. TLS／Smart Card: Transport Layer Security. Provides for certificate-based and
mutual authentication of the client and the network. It relies on client-side and
server-side certificates to perform authentication and can be used to dynamically
generate user-based and session-based WEP keys to secure subsequent
communications between the WLAN client and the access point.
iii. TTLS: Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This security method provides for
certificate-based, mutual authentication of the client and network through an
-17- AirLive MIMO-G Wireless LAN Adapter User’s Manual

encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS requires only server-side
certificates.
iv. LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is an EAP authentication type
used primarily in CiscoAironet WLANs. It encrypts data transmissions using
dynamically generated WEP keys, and supports mutual authentication.
v. MD5-Challenge: Message Digest Challenge. Challenge is an EAP authentication
type that provides base-level EAP support. It provides for only one-way
authentication - there is no mutual authentication of wireless client and the network.
2. Session Resumption: user can choose “ Disable ”, “ Reauthentication ”, “ Roaming ”,
“ SameSsid ” and “ Always ”.
3. Identity and Password: Identity and password for server.
4. Use Client Certicate: Client Certicate for server authentication.
5. Tunnel Authentication
i. Protocol: Tunnel protocol, List information include “ EAP-MSCHAP ”,
“ EAP-MSCHAP v2 ”, “ CAHAP ” and “ MD5 ”
ii. Tunnel Identity: Identity for tunnel.
iii. Tunnel Password: Password for tunnel.
6. CA Server: Certificate Authority Server. Each certificate is signed or issued by it. The detail
operation will explain in section 4-2-2 CA Server
4-2-2 CA Server
Depending on the EAP in use, only the server or both the server and client may be authenticated and
require a certificate. Server certificates identify a server, usually an authentication or RADIUS
server to clients. Most EAPs require a certificate issued by a root authority or a trusted commercial
CA. Show as the figure.
1. Certificate issuer: Choose use server that issuer of certificates.
2. Allow intimidate certificates: It must be in the server certificate chain between the server
certificate and the server specified in the certificate issuer must be field.
3. Server name: Enter an authentication sever root.
