EAP-TLS This button opens the EAP-TLS Settings page (FIG. 69 on page 81).
“EAP-TLS” security is designed for wireless environments where securely
transmitting data over a wireless network by adding an additional level of
security protocol is necessary via the use of a private key.
• Refer to the EAP-TLS Settings section on page 81 for further details.
• For information on uploading a certificate file, refer to the AMX Certificate
Upload Utility section on page 171.
EAP-LEAP This button opens the EAP-LEAP Settings page (FIG. 64 on page 73).
“EAP-LEAP” security is designed for wireless environments where it is not
required to have both a client or server certificate validation scheme in place,
yet necessary to securely transmit data over a wireless network.
• Refer to the EAP-LEAP Settings section on page 73.
EAP-FAST This button opens the EAP-FAST Settings page (FIG. 66 on page 75).
“EAP-FAST” security is designed for wireless environments where security and
ease of setup are equally desirable.
• Refer to the EAP-FAST Settings section on page 75 for further details.
RF Link Info: These options set communication values for the wireless interface card:
SSID Displays the currently used SSID of the target WAP.
Channel The RF channel being used for connection to the WAP (read -only).
Link Quality Displays the quality of the link from the wireless NIC to the Wireless Access
Point (direct sequence spread spectrum) in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good,
Very Good, and Excellent).
• Even when link quality is at its lowest you still have a connection, and the
ability to transmit and receive data, even if at lower speeds.
Note: “Link Quality” and “Signal Strength” are applicable to RF connections
only. It is possible to have an RF signal to a WAP, but be unable to communi-
cate with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings.
Signal Strength This indicator displays a description of the signal strength from the Wireless
Access Point connection in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and
Excellent).
SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) is a measure of the relative strength of a wireless RF
connection. Given this value and the link quality above, you can determine the
noise level component of the SNR. For example, if signal strength is high but
the link quality is low, then the cause of the link degradation is noise. However,
if signal strength is low and link quality is low the cause would simply be signal
strength.
