Using the Configuration Utility
Security - WPA/WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) improves upon WEP security. In conjunction with a
RADIUS server and EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol), WPA ensures that only
authenticated users access the network.
To use WPA/WPA2, click the
WPA/WPA2
radio button. Select the Authentication type
from the pull-down menu and click the
Configure
button.
Depending on the type of Authentication you use, you must enter the login/certificate
information. Click
OK
to save your settings.
EAP:
Extensible Authentication Protocols (EAP-TLS, LEAP, EAP-TTLS, PEAP) allow
devices on the network to request authentication from the RADIUS server in the network.
All the devices on the network must use the same EAP type when using a RADIUS
server for authentication.
User Certificate:
A certificate authority (CA) issues User Certificates to verify that a
public key belongs to a specific individual or company.
