4 - 10 Aironet 340 Series Bridge The “Encryption” value may also be set to “mixed’. In this mode a root or repeater bridge will accept association from clients that have encryption turned on or off. In this case only data packets between nodes that both support it will be encrypted. Multicast packets will be sent in the clear so that all nodes may see them. CAUTION: We do not recommend the use of “mixed” mode. If a client with encryption enabled sends a multicast packet to its parent, the packet will be encrypted. The parent will then decrypt the packet and re-transmit it in the clear to the cell for the other nodes to see. Seeing a packet in both encrypted and un-encrypted form can greatly aid in breaking a key. This mode is only included for compatibility with other vendors. The 802.11 protocol specifies a procedure in which a client must authenticate with a parent before it can associate. The “open” method of authentication is essentially a null operation. All clients will be allowed to authenticate. With the “shared key” the parent send the client a challenge text which the client encrypts and sends back to the parent. If the parent can de-crypt it correctly the client is authenticated. CAUTION: With the “shared-key” mode, since a clear text and encrypted version of the same data is transmitted on the air, we again do not recommend its use. It does not really gain you anything, since if the user’s key is wrong the unit will not be able to de-crypt any of his packets and they cannot gain access to the network. The “Client” option determines the authentication mode that the client nodes are allowed to use to associate to the unit. The values allowed are “open”, “shared-key”, or “both”. The “Auth” is used on repeater bridges to determine which authentication mode the unit will use to connect with its parent. The allowed values are “open” or “shared-key”.

Configuring the Radio Network 4 - 11 Using the Configuration Radio LinkTests Menu The options in this menu can be used to determine system performance on individual nodes as well as individual node radio performance. Configuration Radio Linktests Menu Option Value Description 1 - Strength - Run a signal strength test 2 - Carrier - Carrier busy statistics 3 - Multicast - Run a multicast echo test 4 - Unicast - Run a unicast echo test 5 - Remote - Run a remote echo test 6 - Destination [ any ] - Target address 7 - Size [ 512 ] - Packet size 8 - Count [ 100 ] - Number of packets to send 9 - Rate [ auto ] - Data rate 01 - Errors - Radio error statistics 02 - Autotest [ once ] - Auto echo test 03 - Continuous [ 0 ] - Repeat echo test once started Enter an option number or name, “=” main menu, previous menu >_ Running a Signal Strength Test (Strength) The strength option sends a packet once per second to our parent access point and each node in the association table. This packet is echoed back to the Aironet 340 Series Bridge which records and displays the RF signal strength associated with that particular node. It can be used to quickly check the link to each radio partner or could be monitored while aligning directional antennas between two nodes. As the antennas are moved, the signal strength could be monitored until the maximum value is achieved. SIGNAL LEVELS BRxxxx 00409611d1e5 Strength In ******************************* Out ********************************** (^C to exit) |--------------------------------| Running a Carrier Busy Test The Carrier option can be used to determine the amount of activity on each of the available frequencies. Its main use is to pick an unused frequency or to check for the presence of a jammer.
