1 Introduction
1.1 About This Manual.
This manual contains information pertinent to the configuration of a Wireless
LAN security system based on 802.1x authentication protocols. The security
system is based on using smart tokens in conjunction with WLAN-Minder client
software [Ref 1], and a central authentication service - provided by the WLAN-
Minder.
The manual covers the installation of the WLAN-Minder, and the issuing of
security tokens such as smart cards and USB eTokens.
The WLAN-Minder solution is designed to operate with Wireless LAN
components that support the IEEE 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol.
Nearly all of the newer generation of Wireless LAN products (Client adapters
and Access Points) support this protocol. However certain low cost units and
earlier designs do not support the IEEE 802.1x protocol, these products cannot
be used in a WLAN-Minder solution. In general all components that have been
certified by the Wi-Fi Consortium as being WPA compliant should operate with
the WLAN-Minder.
Only guidance is given in this manual about how the Access Points should be
configured. Each manufacturer will have their own menus and user interfaces
for configuration. Please refer to the Access Point User Manual for obtaining
information on setting up the Access Point unit.

1.5 Using Smart Cards with the WLAN-Minder
Smart cards are used to store a user’s identity and his network configuration
information. The smart card is used to verify the identity of the owner by
checking the PIN number entered by the owner.
The WLAN-Minder supports two ISO-7816 compliant smart card readers. They
are labelled as [User] and [Admin] respectively. Beside each card slot is a bi-
colour LED, which is used to signal the following states when the web browser
interface is in use:
}A GREEN flashing LED by a card slot is a prompt for the user to enter a
smart card into that slot.
}A RED LED indicates a card is inserted and powered up. The user should
NOT remove the smart card when the RED LED is lit.
INSERTING THE SMART CARD
The contacts surface of the smart card should be face down, and the card
inserted with the contacts at the edge closest to the centre of the WLAN-Minder
unit.
1.6 Using eTokens with the WLAN-Minder
USB eTokens may be used as an alternative to a smart card for storing a user’s
identity and network configuration information.
The WLAN-Minder supports two USB interfaces capable of supporting an
eToken. They are labelled as [User] and [Admin] respectively. Beside each USB
socket is an GREEN LED.
}A GREEN flashing LED by a USB socket is a prompt for the user to enter
an eToken. The Flashing will stop when the eToken is inserted.
ENSURE the CORRECT ORIENTATION is used when INSERTING the
eToken.
