entered.
Key Index (1~4)
This setting is only available for Open System or Shared Key
mode.
Network key
For WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK modes, you need to enter the
desired value (8~63 characters). Data is encrypted using a 256Bit
key derived from this key. Other Wireless Stations must use the
same key.

EAP Method
There are 5 methods in the drop-down list.
•
GTC
- Generic Token Card. It was created by Cisco. It
carries a text challenge from the authentication server, and a
reply which is assumed to be generated by a security token.
GTC does not protect the authentication data in any way.
•
TLS
- Transport Layer Security. Provides for certificate-
based and mutual authentication of the client and the net-
work. It relies on client-side and server-side certificates to
perform authentication and can be used to dynamically gen-
erate user-based and session-based WEP keys to secure
subsequent communications between the WLAN client and
the access point.
•
LEAP
- Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. It
is a proprietary protocol from Cisco Systems developed to
address the security weaknesses common in WEP.
•
TTLS
- Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This security
method provides for certificate-based, mutual authentication
of the client and network through an encrypted channel.
Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS requires only server-side cer-
tificates.
•
PEAP
- Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP
transport securely authentication data by using tunneling be-
tween PEAP clients and an authentication server. PEAP can
authenticate wireless LAN clients using only server-side cer-
tificates, thus simplifying the implementation and
administration of a secure wireless LAN.
