We tested Jupiter Networks' NetScreen-5GT Wireless by integrating it into our existing test bed and using it as our production wireless access point for several days.
Our 802.1X RADIUS server, Odyssey from Funk Software, was set up to handle authentication with the NetScreen-5GT Wireless. Then, we used laptops from Dell running Windows XP with Dell's internal wireless card, from Apple computer running Mac OS X with Apple's internal wireless card, as well as PDAs from HP and Nokia, to connect to the wireless network.
Because of the popularity of Cisco's wireless hardware in enterprise networks, we also ran XP tests using the Cisco 802.11a/b/g wireless card and Cisco's own wireless management software.
To test the different wireless authentication mechanisms, we switched the NetScreen-5GT Wireless through different configurations, including basic 802.1X, 802.1X with WPAv1, and 802.1X with WPAv2. We also used Wired Equivalent Privacy and Web-based authentication for the PDAs to test interoperability.
To verify the stability of the wireless connection and the ability to use all four Basic Service Set Identifiers, we used an ASUS WL-330g Ethernet-to-wireless adapter to connect our HP printer to the NetScreen-5GT Wireless as well.
