6 General conclusion The result of the verified test areas, such as authentication, association, handover and call stability test, produced very good results. The roaming times, both PSK and 802.1x were excellent by ranging in the interval 20 to 30ms. Performance has also been proven to be very good. In both active and U-APSD mode it was possible to keep 12 simultaneously calls per AP radio. Keep in mind that the limitation was available handsets and not system capacity. Known issues Stability issues with Aerohive AP 370/390 (6.5r4). AP 370/390 (6.5r4) is not supported by Ascom. Refer to previous certifications for stable firmware.

7 APPENDIX A: TEST CONFIGURATIONS Aerohive HiveManager and Access Points configurations. In the following chapter you will find screenshots and explanations of basic settings in order to get the Aerohive Networks solution operational with Ascom Myco. Please note that security settings were modified according to requirements in individual test cases. The configuration file is found at the bottom of this chapter. ESS, Security settings. List of all configured SSIDs Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 7

8 WPA2 PSK (Personal) - Select WPA/WPA2 PSK (Personal) - Select WPA2-PSK and CCMP (AES) as Key Management and Encryption Method - Key can be entered in HEX or in ASCII format. Example shows a key entered in ASCII format. Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 8

9 WPA X (Enterprise) - Select WPA/WPA X (Enterprise) - Select WPA X and CCMP and Key Management and Encryption Method - Make sure Enable Proactive PMK ID response is checked. Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 9

10 WPA X (Enterprise) RADIUS configuration - Configure the IP Address to the Radius server - Type in the secret that corresponds to the secret configured in the Radius server. Data rate configuration. (Same for all encryption methods) - To improve the performance in the wireless system it is recommended to disable the lowest data rates starting at 12Mbps Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 10

11 Advanced SSID settings (Same for all encryption methods) - Set the DTIM settings to 5. DTIM value 5 is recommended in order to allow maximum battery conservation without impacting the quality. A lower value is possible but will negatively impact the standby time. - Make sure that Enable WMM is checked. - Make sure that Enable Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery is checked. WMM and U-APSD is required for Ascom Myco to function properly. Note. Ascom Myco do not support k,v,r. Do not enable the Voice Enterprise parameters. Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 11

12 User Profile. - Use the default Rate Control & Queuing Policy. See section QoS for details. Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 12

13 Quality of Service (QoS) Classifier Maps - Create classifier map according to the screenshot and enable DiffServ and e - Important. For DiffServ select QoS Class: 6 Voice. Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 13

14 Marker Maps - Create a Marker Map. Note that these are the system default values. Rate Control & Queuing - Make sure that the system default values look as per above. Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 14

15 Radio Configuration Radio Profiles. (5Ghz) - Example shows the default profile radio_ac0 - Channel width is set to 80Mhz default for radio_ac0 profile. Notice the general recommendations for 11a/ac deployments on page Make sure the beacon period is set to 100TU Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 15

16 Radio Profiles. (2.4Ghz) - Example shows the default profile radio_ng0 - Channel width is set to 20MHz. 40MHz channel width is not recommended on the 2.4GHz band. - Make sure the beacon period is set to 100TU Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 16

17 Configuration of access points - Radio profiles used is the default (radio_na0 or radio_na0 for 11ac access point and radio_ng0). See earlier steps for configuration of the radio profiles. - In the example channel and power level has been set manually for each access point (for testing). General guidelines when deploying Ascom Myco handsets in a/n/ac environments: 1. Enabling more than 8 channels will degrade roaming performance. Ascom recommends against going above this limit. 2. Using 40 MHz channels (or channel-bonding ) will reduce the number of non-dfs* channels to two in ETSI regions (Europe). In FCC regions (North America), 40MHz is a more viable option because of the availability of additional non-dfs channels. The handset can co-exist with 40MHz stations in the same ESS. 3. Ascom do support and can coexist in 80MHz channel bonding environments. The recommendations is however to avoid 80MHz channel bonding as it severely reduces the number of available non overlapping channels. 4. Make sure that all non-dfs channel are taken before resorting to DFS channels. The handset can cope in mixed non-dfs and DFS environments; however, due to unpredictability introduced by radar detection protocols, voice quality may become distorted and roaming delayed. Hence Ascom recommends if possible avoiding the use of DFS channels in VoWIFI deployments. *) Dynamic Frequency Selection (radar detection) Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 17

21 Authentication with dot1x (PEAP-MSCHAPv2) 802.1X Authentication requires a root certificate to be uploaded to the device by right clicking - > Manage Certificates. Upload the required root CA under Trust list. Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 21

22 Network settings for.1x authentication (PEAP-MSCHAPv2) - Select security mode PEAP-MSCHAPv2 - Enter User identity and password - Select your trusted certificate uploaded to the device in previous step. Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 22

23 Innovaphone IP6000 (IP PBX) The Innovaphone IP6000 was configured with a static IP address of Signaling is less relevant here since testing homes in on interoperability in relation to the WLAN infrastructure and not features of the IP PBX. IP6000 configuration: See attached file (complete-ip a6.txt) for configuration. Interoperability Report - Ascom Myco / Aerohive Networks 23
