Access Point Registry Settings for the Wi-Fi Authentication Tests (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

The following example shows a registry file that describes two access points.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CETest\APCTL\AP1]
"CapsImplemented"="WPA,WPA_PSK,WPA2,WPA2_PSK"
"CapsEnabled"="WPA,WPA_PSK,WPA2,WPA2_PSK"
"RadioState"=dword:00000001
"SSID"="WIFI_OPEN_1"
"BSSID"=hex:00,13,46,89,b9,db
"Authentication"="WPA2_PSK"
"Cipher"="TKIP"
"RadiusServer"="10.10.0.1"
"RadiusPort"=dword:00001812
"RadiusSecret"="0123456789"
"WEPIndex"=dword:00000000
"WEPKey0"=hex:a0,b0,c0,d0,e0
"WEPKey1"=hex:f1,a2,b3,c4,d5
"WEPKey2"=hex:e2,f3,a4,b5,c6
"WEPKey3"=hex:d3,e4,f5,a6,b7
"Passphrase"="0123456789"
"Configurator"="dlink;10.10.0.48"
"Attenuator"="Manual;0,0,100"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CETest\APCTL\AP2]
"CapsImplemented"="WEP_802_1X,WPA,WPA_PSK,WPA2,WPA2_PSK"
"CapsEnabled"="WEP_802_1X,WPA,WPA_PSK,WPA2,WPA2_PSK"
"RadioState"=dword:00000001
"SSID"=" WIFI_OPEN_2"
"BSSID"=hex:00,13,46,89,b9,db
"Authentication"="WPA2_PSK"
"Cipher"="TKIP"
"RadiusServer"="10.10.0.1"
"RadiusPort"=dword:00001812
"RadiusSecret"="0123456789"
"WEPIndex"=dword:00000000
"WEPKey0"=hex:a0,b0,c0,d0,e0
"WEPKey1"=hex:f1,a2,b3,c4,d5
"WEPKey2"=hex:e2,f3,a4,b5,c6
"WEPKey3"=hex:d3,e4,f5,a6,b7
"Passphrase"="0123456789"
"Configurator"="buffalo;10.10.0.16:admin:password"
"Attenuator"="Manual;0,0,100"

In the first example, the access point is named AP1, as indicated in the first line of the registry key setting. The SSID is WIFI_OPEN_1. Looking at the Configurator entry, you can see that this D-Link access point can be contacted at IP address 10.10.0.48 with the default administrator name and password.

In the second example, the access point is named AP2. The SSID is WIFI_OPEN_2. Again, looking at the Configurator entry, you can see that this access point is a Buffalo AP, and its IP address is 10.10.0.16. Note, however, that unlike the D-Link AP, you must use the administrator name admin and provide password as the password to contact this access point.

As noted in the topic How To Set Up the AP Control Server, the only required registry setting values are SSID, Configurator, and Attenuator. The other settings are optional and, if supplied by the user, are ignored. The reason these values appear in these examples is that the server automatically retrieves them from the controlled access points, and all retrieved values are displayed in the registry editor.
