This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data encryption. 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. Normally, a Certificate is
used to authenticate each user. See Chapter4 for details of user configuration.
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WEP standard. You only have to
select the WEP key size; the WEP key is automatically generated.
