Prerequisites for the Wi-Fi Authentication Tests (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The following table shows the hardware requirements for the Wi-Fi Authentication Test.
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
Device under test |
The Windows Embedded CE-based device or devices you want to test. |
Fixed access point (AP) |
This AP must not require 802.1X (EAP) authentication; that is, it must require Open, Shared, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK authentication. The device(s) under test use this AP to request AP test reconfiguration through the AP control server. |
One or more APs |
Every AP is controllable, and will be reconfigured during the testing by the AP control server. Each AP must be configured to communicate with the RADIUS authentication server. |
Control server for APs |
Processes AP configuration requests from the devices under test and updates APs to the required security mode. This server must also run the UDP and TCP Echo services so that the device(s) under test can verify wireless connections. |
RADIUS server |
Authentication server. You can run this service on its own computer, or on a computer that also runs the AP control server and the DHCP server. |
DHCP server |
Assigns IP addresses and processes client requests. You can run this server on its own computer, or on a computer that also runs the authentication and AP control servers. |
Local network |
Subnet to which the AP server, RADIUS server, and DHCP server all connect, so that the device can contact each server. |
The following table shows the software requirements for the Wi-Fi Authentication Matrix Test.
| Requirement | Description |
