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. 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)
Certificate This is the security certificate the WiMAX Modem uses to
authenticate the AAA server. Use the TOOLS > Certificates
> Trusted CA screen to import certificates to the WiMAX
Modem.
