To Perform the Encryption Protocol Test

Language:

Before You Begin

To test whether the WiFi card supports various encryption protocols, you must have the following prerequisites.

One or more APs that can support the encryption protocols, namely, none, WEP, and WPA which are commonly supported by the target card and the Oracle Solaris OS.
One machine that is set up as a TM.
AP must be correctly connected to the TM machine.

Set up the AP
Set up the AP to work with one of the encryption protocols that are commonly supported by the target card and the Oracle Solaris OS.

Reboot the Oracle Solaris OS on SUT and start the Oracle HCTS UI.

Run the transfer modes tests described in the procedure To Perform the Transfer Mode Test.
Change the encryption protocol.
Change the encryption protocol of the AP to the next one that is commonly supported by the target card and the Oracle Solaris OS. Alternately, change to another AP that supports a different encryption protocol.
Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 until all the encryption protocols that are commonly supported by the target card and the Oracle Solaris OS are tested on the card.

Expected Result

WiFi certification test passes on all the encryption protocols tested.

Note - For the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) modes of test, you must use the manual network setup to set up the wireless connection for testing.
