Field
Description
Network Channel
This field specifies the IEEE 802.11 channel that the access point uses.
Pairwise Cipher
This field specifies information about how the access point manages encryption keys for
a user account on the network. You can configure an access point to support multiple
pairwise ciphers. You can use a pairwise cipher with a group cipher.
Group Cipher
This field specifies information about how the access point manages encryption keys for
all user accounts on the network or locally. You can use a pairwise cipher with a group
cipher.
The group ciphers have one of the following values:
• None
• WEP 40
• WEP 104
• TKIP
• AES-CCMP
An access point that you configure to support multiple pairwise ciphers is only as strong
as the weakest pairwise cipher.
Gateway Address
This field specifies the IP address of the gateway that routes any packets that the
gateway sends outside the local network. In an enterprise Wi-Fi network, this field
specifies the IP address of the organization’s LAN gateway. In a personal Wi-Fi network,
this field specifies the internal IP address of the router for the home network.
DHCP
This field specifies the status of the DHCP connection to the BlackBerry device. When a
check mark displays, DHCP is complete.
Primary DNS
This field specifies the address of an optional computer that translates host names into
IP addresses.
Secondary DNS
This field specifies the address of an optional computer that translates host names into
IP addresses. The BlackBerry device can use the secondary DNS server if the primary
DNS is not available.
DNS Suffix
This field specifies the domain name suffix, such as .com or .org.
Subnet Mask
This field specifies information about the subnet base for the IP address tha the access
point assigned to the BlackBerry device.
Server Domain Suffix
This field specifies the domain name suffix for the network that the BlackBerry device is
associated with.
