PEAP Installation and User Guide

What does this mean to me? 1. If you use wireless on your GE laptop, you must now carry your SecurID token with you at all times to connect. You need to enter your PIN+Token for the password when authenticating. Note, if you already have a SecurID token for remote VPN access, you do NOT need a second token. VPN and wireless will use the same token and PIN. 2. If you use wireless in your home, hotel, or a hotspot, you must re-add your wireless connection to the Odyssey client. Note: Be sure you copy down the configuration settings of these wireless connections so that you can re-add them correctly after installation of the client. 3. If you turn your wireless off on occasion please turn it on now for the install. Make sure that the wireless card is enabled (switch on laptop or network settings) and the radio turned on (via the wireless client in the tool bar). WHAT TO EXPECT? All network connections will be temporarily dropped during the installation. Be sure that all other programs are terminated before installing this application. The install will take 5-10 minutes to complete. Please be patient. While the package completes. See a picture of the window below: During install an information window will open & ask if you want to Update Now, Wait 30 minutes or Cancel (with the #3 on the button) You will be able to cancel 3 times on the 4th attempt there will be no cancel button. Clicking on Wait 30 minutes will defer for 30 minutes only. You will receive this screen until you download. To better control the install you can be an early adopter and down load at your convenience prior to deployment. The application will be in your catalog. The package will uninstall your previous wireless software. At the end of the install you will be prompted to reboot at your earliest convenience - if you are on a wireless connection you will need to reboot immediately to reestablish your connection

4. Setting up a Home, Hotspot or Hotel network (Using the configuration settings you copied) Setting up a network outside of GE starts by opening up the ODYSSEY ACCESS CLIENT use this to add a home, hotel, hotspot, etc. You will not be able to test this in the office!

If the network requires additional encryption or authentication, the Add Network window will appear where you will need to update the Association Mode and the Encryption Method. If the access point is WEP enabled, select: Association Mode: OPEN Encryption Method: WEP Select either ASCII characters or Hexadecimal digits and enter the WEP key in the Key 0 field. (Note: if your key is a combination of numbers 0-9 and characters A-F, then select hexadecimal digits BEFORE you type in your WEP key.) This field will always default back to ASCII when you are done.

If the Access point is WPA enabled, select: Association Mode: WPA Encryption Mode: TKIP If the Access point is WPA2 enabled, select: Association Mode: WPA2 Encryption Mode: AES or less commonly TKIP Enter the Pre-shared key for the Access Point into the Passphrase field. Selecting the Unmask check box will allow you to visually see what you are typing. With the box unselected, everything typed will echo a * in the field. Select OK when finished.
