Survey - Site Survey

Use the Site Survey tab to view statistics

on the wireless networks available to the

WLAN Adapter and their parameters.
SSID: The SSID of the available

networks.

Channel: The channel used by each

network.

Config - Authentication

This tab allows you to set the security settings to match those of your AP. It is

configurable only if you have set Network Authentication to WPA or WPA2 in

Config-Encryption tab.

Authentication Type

The authentication type methods

include:
PEAP: PEAP (Protected Extensible

Authentication Protocol) authentication

is a version of Extensible Authentication

Protocol (EAP). EAP ensures mutual

authentication between a wireless client

and a server that resides at the network

operations center.
TLS/Smart Card: TLS (Transport Layer Security) authentication is used to

create an encrypted tunnel and achieve server-side authentication in a manner

similar to Web server authentication using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

protocol. This method uses digital certificates to verify the identity of a client

and server.
TTLS: TTLS authentication uses certificates to authenticate the server, while

maintaining similar security properties to TLS such as mutual authentication

and a shared confidentiality for session WEP key.
LEAP: LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) authentication is a

version of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP ensures mutual

authentication between a wireless client and a server that resides at the

network operations center.
Md5-challenge: Md5-challenge is a one-way encrypting algorithm that uses

usernames and passwords. This method does not support key management,

but require a preset key.
