Wireless Security
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of your wireless network. There
are three wireless security mode options supported by the AP: WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy), WPA Pre-Shared Key, WPA RADIUS.
Wireless Security
The security options are the same and independent for your Wireless-A and
Wireless-G networks. You can use different wireless security methods for your
networks; however, within each network (Wireless-A or Wireless-G), all devices must
use the same security method and settings.
Security Mode:
WEP: WEP is a basic encryption method, select a level of WEP encryption, 40/64-bit or
128-bit. If you want to use a Passphrase, then enter it in the
Passphrase
field and click
the Generate button. If you want to enter the WEP key manually, then enter it in the
WEP Key 1-4
field(s). To indicate which WEP key to use, select the appropriate
TX Key
number.
WPA only:
WPA Pre-Shared Key: This security mode offers two encryption methods, TKIP and
AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the type of encryption method you want to
use, TKIP or AES. Enter the Passphrase, which can have 8 to 63 characters. Then enter
the Key Renewal period, which instructs the AP how often it should change the
encryption keys.
WPA RADIUS: This security mode must work with a RADIUS server using EAP –TLS or
PEAP for user authentication. To use WPA RADIUS, select the type of encryption
method you want to use, TKIP or AES. Enter the RADIUS server’s IP address and port
number (default is 1812), along with the authentication shared key by the AP and the
server.
Enter the Key Renewal period, which instructs the AP how often it should change the
encryption keys.
