6 Configuration Overview

SSID (SERVICE SET IDENTIFIER)_________
In a wireless network, terminals can be assigned an SSID identifier which restricts their access to printers on the network to only those set up for that SSID.
For example, computers set up as Accounting can only communicate to a printer through the Marketing access point (AP) and computers set up as Marketing can only communicate to a printer through the Marketing access point:
SSID = Accounting
SSID = Accounting
SSID = Marketing
SSID = Marketing
CHANNELS_________________________
There are 13 channels available for use in a wireless network. However, adjacent channels share a frequency and can interfere with one another.
Therefore, to obtain maximum communication speed and accuracy, channels for access points which are near each other should be selected with 5 channels space between them: e.g., channels 1, 6 and 11.
7 Configuration Overview
Page 8
SECURITY FEATURES__________________

Open (no security)

This can be used, but is not recommended.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy, assuring wireless network security equivalent to a wired network.
Set the same WEP key (64 or 128 bits) for all printers, computers and access points on the wireless network.
WPA
WiFi Protected Access security, using TKIP encryption. This security uses a pre-shared key set for all printers, computers and access points in the wireless network. The key is periodically changed.

EAP (Using Certificates)

Extensible Authentication Protocol security. In wireless communications using EAP, connection to the wireless network is requested through an access point, which in turn transmits the certificate assigned to the computer and printer to an authentication server such as RADIUS.
• EAP-TLS is used for authentication.
• Client and/or CA certificates must be imported into the printer.
• Certificates must be obtained separately by the network administrator before setting the printer for EAP.
Client Certificates
• This is the printer’s own certificate.
• The client must have a private key which corr esponds to a public key contained in the certificate.
• Required file format for imported certificates = [PKCS#12].
• Suitable file extensions include *.p12 and *.pfx.
CA Certificates
• The printer is not involved in the CA certificate chain.
8 Configuration Overview
Page 9
• EAP-TLS requires authentication of the Server Certificate issued by a Certificate Authority and sent from a RADIUS server.
• Certificate Authentication requires that the printer have a certificate issued by the Certificate Authority that issued the Server Certificate.
• Required file formats = [PEM] or [DER].
• Suitable CA Certificate extensions include *.pem, *.der and *.cer.

ROUBLESHOOTING
Here is some basic troubleshooting information. For more detailed information, check out http://my.okidata.com.
PROBLEM SOLUTION(S)
Communication is unstable.
Communication speed may be decreased or the wireless connection may be broken due to obstacles or radio source of 2.4 GHz such as a microwave oven or cordless phone.
• Check radio sources in the surrounding area.
• Change the location or direction of the access point and printer.
Too many wireless devices are using the same or neighboring channel. This can decrease communication speed or break the wireless connection.
• Reduce the number of wireless devices using the same channel.
• Check for access points installed on the floor above or below and/or for unauthorized access points.

42 Troubleshooting

Page 43
PROBLEM SOLUTION(S)
Connection problems for wireless devices.
Problems with the access point devices or wireless computers.
• Consult the FAQ information of the vendors for the access points and wireless computers.
• Check that you have the latest firmware for access point devices.
• Check that you have the latest drivers for the wireless computer.
Access point device may be set to “High-Speed Mode.”
• Disable the High-Speed Mode settings of access point devices
MAC Address Filtering is enabled in the access point device.
• Register the wireless card’s MAC address in the MAC Address FIltering list of the access point device.
Multiple access point devices have the same SSID.
• Check the SSID of access point devices in the surrounding area.
• Check the SSID of access point devices on the floors above and below.
• Check for unauthorized access point devices.
43 Troubleshooting
Page 44
PROBLEM SOLUTION(S)
EAP authentication fails.
EAP CA Certificate
Check the network configuration of the wireless card.
• Make sure that IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are all set correctly.
• Ad-Hoc mode: IP Address cannot be obtained by DHCP.
Check the network protocol:
• The wireless card supports only TCP/IP protocol.
• Ethernet and IPX/SPX are not supported.
Check the configuration of the wireless card:
• SSID, WEP Key and WPA Pre-Shared Key are all case sensitive.
• In the Shared Key mode, check the Key Index and Key SIze.
The supported scheme is EAP-TLS. Make sure that the RADIUS Server access point supports EAP-TLS.
Supported key sizes and encryption schemes:
• Key Scheme = RSA or DSA
• Key Size = 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 bit.
• Hash Scheme = md5 or sha1.
“Client Auth” must be included in the “Extend Key Usage” attribute of the Client Certificate.
The “EAP User” setting in the wireless card must match the Client Certificate setting.
The CA Certificate must be provided by the Certificate Authority that directly issued the Server Certificate.
