3.2.1.2 Authentication and Security 

 

 

 

 

Parameter Description 

Authentication Type 

This setting has to be consistent with the wireless networks that 

the card intends to connect. 

Open

 – No authentication is needed among the wireless network.

 

Shared

 – Only wireless devices using a shared key (WEP Key 

identified) are allowed to connecting each other.   

 

 

Authentication Type 

LEAP

 – LEAP is a pre-EAP, Cisco-proprietary protocol, with many 

of the features of EAP protocols. Cisco controls the ability of other 

vendors to implement this protocol, so it should be selected for 

use only when limited vendor choice for client, access-point, and 

server products is not a concern. When you have set up LEAP 

authentication, you have to enter the user name and password of 

your computer.
