9 www .gate wa y .com A dministra tor ’ s c omputer Configuratio n and administratio n of the Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP is accomplished w ith the K ic kStar t utility (which you run from the CD ) and through a W eb-based user interface (UI).
10 ww w . g at eway . c om Kic kStar t Wizard on CD Y ou can run the KickSta r t CD on an y laptop or compute r that is connec ted to the access point (through Wired or Wireles s connec tion). It dete cts Gatew ay 7001 Series se lf-managed APs on th e ne twor k.
11 www .gate wa y .com W ireless client c omput ers The Gateway 7001 Series self-mana ged AP provides wirel e ss acce ss to any client with a correctly configured W i-Fi client adapter for the 802.11 mo de in which the access point is running. Multiple client operating systems are suppor ted.
12 ww w . g at eway . c om Understanding dynamic and static IP addressing Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs ar e built t o auto-configure, with very little se tup required for the first access point and no configuration required for additional access points subsequently joining a preconfigured cluster .
13 www .gate wa y .com Sta tic IP addressing The Gateway 7001 Series self-mana ged AP ships with a defa ult Static IP Address o f 192.168.1.1. ( See the default set tings for the AP in “Gateway 7 001 Seri es self-m anage d AP” on page 5 .) If no DHCP ser ver is found on the network, the AP retains this static IP address at first-time st a rtup.

17 www .gate wa y .com Wh at’ s inside the acc ess poin t? An access point is a single-purpose c omputer designed to functi on as a wireless hub. Inside the access point is a W i-Fi radio system, a mi croprocessor , and sometimes a mini- PC card.
18 ww w . g at eway . c om C onnec ting the a cc ess point to netw ork and po wer The next step is to set up the network and power connections. T o set up the network and power connections: 1 Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the network port on the access point and the other end to the s a me hub where your computer is co nnec ted.
19 www .gate wa y .com 2 Connect the power adapter to the power port on the back of the access point, then plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet (preferably , using a surge protect or).
20 ww w . g at eway . c om Hardw are conn ec tions f or a phy sically separ ate guest ne twork If you plan to configure a p hysically separa te guest network, you need to set up your network connections differently a t this point.
21 www .gate wa y .com Run the KickStart CD on a laptop or computer that is connected to the same network as your access points and use it to step through the discovery process. Important K eep in min d that Kic kStar t (and the other Gate wa y adminis tration tools ) recogniz es and confi gures only Gate wa y 7001 Series sel f-managed APs .
22 ww w . g at eway . c om T o run KickStart: 1 Insert the KickSt a rt W izard CD into the CD drive on yo ur computer . If the KickStart window is not displa yed automatically , navigate to the CD dri ve and double-click the Kickstart executa ble file to activate the KickSta rt utility on the CD.

80 ww w . g at eway . c om C onfiguring netw ork security Understanding security issues on wireless networks W ireless mediums are inherently less secure than wired mediums. For example, an Ethernet NIC transmits its p ackets over a physical medium such as coaxial cable or twisted pair .

82 ww w . g at eway . c om Recommendations Static WEP was designed to provide security equivalent of sending unencrypted data through an Etherne t connection, however it has ma jor flaws and it does not p rovide even this intended level of security . Therefore, Static WEP is no t recommended as a secure mode.
83 www .gate wa y .com Recommendations IEEE 802.1x mo d e is a b e tter choic e than Static WEP because keys are d y namically generated and changed periodically .
84 ww w . g at eway . c om Recommendations WP A with RADIUS mode is the recommended mode . The CCMP (AES) and TKIP encryption algorithms used with WP A modes are far superior to the R C4 algorithm used for Stati c WEP or IEEE 802.1x modes . Therefore, CCMP (AES) or TKIP should be used whenever possible.
85 www .gate wa y .com For information o n how to configure WP A with RA DIUS security mode, see “WP A with RADIUS” o n page 95 . When to use WP A-PSK W i-Fi Protected Access (WP A) with Pre-Shared K ey (PSK) is a W i-Fi Alliance su bset of IEEE 802.
86 ww w . g at eway . c om For example, some devices on your network may not support WP A with EAP talking to a RADIUS server . Embedded printer servers o r ot her small client devices with ver y limited space for implementation may no t support RA DIUS.

89 www .gate wa y .com For a minimum level of p rotection on a guest network, you can c hoose to suppress (prohibit) the broadc a st of the SSID ( netwo rk name) to discourage client st ations from automaticall y discovering your access p oint.

91 www .gate wa y .com Rules to Reme mber for Static WEP ■ All client stations m ust have the Wireless LA N (WLAN) security set to WEP and all clients must hav e one of the WEP keys spec ified o n the AP in order to de-crypt AP-to-station data transmi ssions.
92 ww w . g at eway . c om Example of Using St atic WEP For a simple example, supp ose you configure three WEP keys on the ac cess point. In our example, the T ransfer Key Index for the AP is set to 3 . This mea ns that the WEP key in slot 3 is the k e y the access poi nt will use to encryp t the data it se nds.
93 www .gate wa y .com If you have a second client s tation , that st ation al so need s to hav e one of the WEP k eys defined on th e AP . Y o u could g ive it the same WEP key you ga ve to the first station.
