Network Authentication
– Open System: It allows any device to join the network without performing
any security check.
– Shared Key: Data encryption and key are required for wireless authentica-
tion (Not available in Bridge/AP Repeater mode).
– Legacy 802.1x: Available in AP/Wireless Client mode, it provides the rights
to access the wireless network and wired Ethernet. With User and PC iden-
tity, centralized authentication as well as dynamic key management, it con-
trols the security risk of wireless network to the lowest. To serve the 802.1x,
at least one EAP type should be supported by the RADIUS Server, AP and
wireless client.
– WPA with RADIUS: Available in AP/Wireless Client mode, with warrant
(username, password and etc.) offered by user, this kind of authentication
can be realized with specific RADIUS server. This is the common way to be
adopted in large enterprise network.
– WPA2 with RADIUS: Available in AP/Wireless Client mode, as a new ver-
sion of WPA, only all the clients support WPA2, can it be available. If it is
selected, AES encryption and RADIUS server is required. It is only available
in AP/Wireless Client mode.
Note! For first time users, if EAP type “TLS” is selected, you need to import
valid user certificate given by CA in prior. To import user certificates,
please refer to Chapter 5 Management/Certificate Settings for more
details.
