How 802.1X Works
The network elements in the above graphics are those involved in a typical wireless LAN. When 802.1X is running, a wireless
device must authenticate itself with the access point in order to get access to the Existing LAN. With respect to the terms used
in the 802.1X standard, access points (APs) function as authenticators and wireless devices function as supplicants. The
authenticator keeps a control port status for each Client it is serving. If a Client has been authenticated, its control port status is
said to be Authorized, and the Client can send application data to the LAN through the AP. Otherwise, the control port status is
said to be Unauthorized, and application data cannot traverse the AP.
I made changes, but they do not appear to
have taken effect. Always tap OK before exiting a screen you have changed. Then restart
the Client from the Client menu on the main screen.
How do I enable peer-to-peer (ad-hoc) mode
to have two clients communicate without an
access point? • On the Wireless Networks tab, add a new profile to the Configured
Network list.
• On the Profile Info tab, give each side the same network name (SSID).
• Select Peer-to-Peer Group (ad hoc mode) and Do active scan.
• On the WEP management section, select Use key for data encryption
and enter an identical key for both clients.
• Verify that this network profile is the first (or only) one in the
Configured Network list and try to restart both clients at roughly the
same time.
