Encryption
Encrypted SSIDs can use the following encryption methods:
„
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
„
Non-WPA dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
„
Non-WPA static WEP
Dynamic WEP is enabled by default.
(For more information, including configuration instructions, see
Chapter 13, “Configuring User Encryption,” on page 281.)
Radio Profiles You can easily assign radio configuration parameters to many radios by
configuring a radio profile and assigning the profile to the radios. To use
a radio, you must assign a profile to the radio. You can enable the radio
when you assign the profile.
Table 12 summarizes the parameters controlled by radio profiles.
Generally, the only radio parameters controlled by the profile that you
need to modify are the SSIDs and, if applicable, Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) settings. The other parameter settings are standard.
For information about the auto-tune parameters, see Table 25 on
page 314.
