Example Test Configurations for the Wi-Fi Configuration Tests (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

The following examples illustrate ways to run the Wi-Fi Authentication Tests with different components and configurations.

Single Server and Access Point

Separate Servers and Multiple Access Points

Single Server and Access Point

This environment has only one server and one controllable access point (AP). The following illustration shows this architecture:

  • A fixed access point
  • A controllable access point
  • A single computer with an IP address of 10.10.0.1, which acts as the AP Control server, the RADIUS server, and the DHCP server
  • A test network
  • A mobile device

The fixed access point has the following configuration:

  • SSID: WIFI_OPEN
  • Authentication: Open
  • Encryption: WEP
  • WEP-Key Index: 1
  • WEP key: 0123456789

The following registry key and registry values control the behavior of the controllable access point:, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CETest\APCTL\AP1

Manual; 0,0,100

At a command prompt on the server, run the following command:

apcontrol.exe -v -z -k Software\Microsoft\CETest\APCTL

At a command prompt on the device, run the following command:

\Windows\tux.exe -f\temp\amdebug.log -d authmatrix.dll

-c "-lHost 10.10.0.1"

Separate Servers and Multiple Access Points

This environment has servers that run on separate computers, and three controllable APs. The following illustration shows this architecture:

  • A fixed access point
  • Three controllable access points
  • An AP Control server at IP address 10.10.0.2
  • A combined RADIUS and DHCP server at IP address 10.10.0.1
  • A test network
  • A mobile device

In this example, the fixed access point is configured as follows:

  • SSID: WIFI_OPEN
  • Authentication: WPA-PSK
  • Encryption: TKIP
  • WEP key: 0123456789

The following registry keys and registry values control the behavior of the three controllable APs:
