Setting Up the Access Point
Configuring Security Settings
• RADIUS Secret : Type a shared text string used to encrypt messages
between the access point and the RADIUS server. Make sure that the
same text string is specified on the RADIUS Accounting server. Do
not use blank spaces in the string. (Maximum length: 20 characters)
6. Click Apply to save your changes.
Repeat the same procedure for each SSID to which you want to assign WPA
(TKIP) as its security profile.
Configuring WPA2 (AES)
This security profile uses AES as the encryption cipher and 802.1X as the
authentication mechanism. In this way, each device is assigned a unique
master key to derive the encryption between the access point and device, and
the encryption keys can be automatically and periodically changed to further
reduce the possibility of their discovery.
