Wireless Security
This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure" button on the
Wireless
screen. There are 4
options for Wireless security:
•
Disabled
- no data encryption is used.
•
WEP
- data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
•
WPA-PSK
- data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than
WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support
WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
•
WPA2-PSK
- This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security,
using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
•
WPA-802.1x
- This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the
client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted
using the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:
•
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
•
Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
•
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when re-
quired.
•
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically
generated, so no key input is required.

Normally, this should be left at the default value of "Automatic". If
changed to "Open System" or "Shared Key", ensure that your Wireless
Stations use the same setting.
