How To Set Up the AP Control Server (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

  • Article

1/6/2010

The AP control server handles access point configuration requests from the test device and updates the access point with the necessary authentication and encryption methods. For more information, see Wi-Fi Authentication Tests Overview topic,

For your test environment, the AP control server is the server on which you installed the Internet Authentication Service.

Procedure

To configure the AP control server

  1. Enter the registry settings for each access point that the server is to control. Each entry must contain the following settings shown in the following table.

    • SSID
      This is the service set identifier that serves as the unique name of the access point

    • Attenuator
      This is the setting that is required by the AP control server, even though the setting is not used for the Wi-Fi Authentication Test itself.

      The syntax for this setting is:

      For test purposes, always set this value to Manual;0.0.100.

    • Configurator
      This is the setting that tells the server how to contact the access point. The syntax for this setting is:

      {deviceType};{nameAddress}[:{adminUuser}:{adminPassword}]

      • Set the deviceType value to dlink, buffalo, or manual.
      • Set the nameAddress value to the IP address of the access point.
      • Do not include a value for adminUser unless it has been changed from the factory default.
      • Do not include a value for adminPassword unless it has been changed from the factory default.

    For more information, see Access Point Registry Settings for the Wi-Fi Authentication Tests.

    For a list of access points that are supported by the AP control server, see Supported Access Points for the Wi-Fi Authentication Tests

  2. From a command prompt, enter the command to tell the server which port it should use for accepting connections and where the server will find the initial configuration information for the access point it controls. For more information, see Command-Line Parameters for use with the AP Control Server
