Anonymous
Identity
Enter the anonymous identity provided by your Internet Service Provider.
Anonymous identity (also known as outer identity) is used with EAP-TTLS
encryption. The anonymous identity is used to route your authentication
request to the correct authentication server, and does not reveal your real user
name. Your real user name and password are encrypted in the TLS tunnel,
and only the anonymous identity can be seen.
Leave this field blank if your ISP did not give you an anonymous identity to
use.
PKM This field displays the Privacy Key Management version number. PKM
provides security between the WiMAX Modem and the base station. At the
time of writing, the WiMAX Modem supports PKMv2 only. See the WiMAX
security appendix for more information.
Authentication This field displays the user authentication method. Authentication is the
process of confirming the identity of a mobile station (by means of a username
and password, for example).
Check with your service provider if you are unsure of the correct setting for
your account.
Choose from the following user authentication methods:
• TTLS (Tunnelled Transport Layer Security)
• TLS (Transport Layer Security)
Note: Not all WiMAX Modems support TLS authentication.
Check with your service provider for details.
TTLS Inner EAP This field displays the type of secondary authentication method. Once a
secure EAP-TTLS connection is established, the inner EAP is the protocol
used to exchange security information between the mobile station, the base
station and the AAA server to authenticate the mobile station. See the WiMAX
security appendix for more details.
This field is available only when TTLS is selected in the Authentication field.
The WiMAX Modem supports the following inner authentication types:
• CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol)
• MSCHAP (Microsoft CHAP)
• MSCHAPV2 (Microsoft CHAP version 2)
• PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)
Auth Mode Select the authentication mode from the drop-down list box.
This field is not available in all WiMAX Modems. Check with your service
provider for details.
The WiMAX Modem supports the following authentication modes:
•User Only
• Device Only with Cert
• Certs and User Authentication
Certificate This is the security certificate the WiMAX Modem uses to authenticate the
AAA server. Use the TOOLS > > Trusted CAs screen to import certificates to
the WiMAX Modem.
