17 Set the following WLAN1 Configuration parameters:
•
SSID
- Configure the SSID for the WLAN.
•
WLAN Type
- Configure encryption and authentication settings to protect the data
and user integrity of WLAN 1.
•
No Authentication and No Encryption
- Configures a network without any user
authentication or data encryption. This means any data transmitted through the
network is in plain text. Any device between end points can see the information
transmitted. This is the least secure of all network configurations.
•
Captive Portal Authentication and No Encryption
- Uses a RADIUS server to
authenticate users before allowing them on to the network. Once on the network, no
encryption is used for the data transmitted through the network. Select this option to
use a Web page (either internally or externally hosted) to authenticate users before
access is granted to the network.
•
PSK authentication, WPA2 encryption
- Configures a network that uses PSK
authentication and WPA2 encryption. Select this option to implement a pre-shared
key that must be correctly shared between the Access Point and requesting clients.
