Optional
Press Restart [Button]
Restarts the device. After the device as
rebooted it will attempt to authenticate to the
configured network. As long as the network is
in range the wireless interface will connect.
If the network is using DHCP then an IP
address will be assigned to the WLAN interface
and IP connectivity is possible over the WLAN
network.
If the network is using static IP addresses it will
be necessary to configure the network
interface, see the next step.
Feature Link
Select Network Settings
The wireless interface is now configured
however if the WLAN network does not have a
DHCP server available to provide IP address to
the device, it necessary to assign a static IP
address to the wireless interface.
Selecting Network Settings will allow us to
configure the device with a static IP address.
This is covered in section 19.0.
18.4 Configuring for PEAP Security
This security type is a very popular type for enterprise networks. Actual use of
the security protocol requires the network is using a RADIUS server for device
authentication, depending upon the security policies of the network this protocol
supports authentication with and without a CA certificate.
The Airborne device supports PEAPv0 using both WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES-
CCMP) encryption. The device will automatically use the most appropriate
encryption type to obtain authentication to the WLAN.
