WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP provides static security to prevent others from accidentally accessing your network. If
you choose this option, you can specify the type of WEP authentication –
Open
or
Shared
,
the WEP security key length –
64 bit
or
128 bit
and the key type –
ASCII
or
Hex
. WEP
Key
fields are also provided where you can specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an
equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP key on the
access point.
802.1X, WPA & WPA2 Enterprise And CCKM
These authentication modes use
802.1X
and with
EAP
authentication. When
802.1X
is se-
lected, NEO uses
WEP
encryption with automatic (as opposed to static) keying. For the
others, the user may choose
TKIP
,
AES
or
TKIP+AES
encryption.
WPA & WPA2 Personal PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
When PSK is selected, either
WPA Personal PSK
or
WPA2 Personal PSK
– a shared key
must be configured on both the access point and the hand-held computer. One of the follow-
ing can be chosen from the
Encryption
dropdown menu:
TKIP
,
AES
or
TKIP+AES
.
2.4.2.2 EAP
This menu allows you to choose the
EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol) type used for
802.1x authentication to an access point.
The following EAP types are supported by
Wi-Fi Config
:
•
FAST-MSCHAPv2:
Is a successor to LEAP and does not require strong passwords to
protect against off-line dictionary attacks. Like LEAP, EAP-FAST does not require the
use of server or client certificates and supports Windows Active Directory and domains.
