Figure 20. Access Point WLAN SSID Profile list with new profile
Repeat step 2 to add additional WLAN SSID profiles.
With a WLAN SSID profile for open access available, complete the access point
configuration by going to the section “Creating an access point profile” on page
38.
Creating a WLAN SSID profile for WPA
A Wi-Fi protected access (WPA) configuration for the SkyExtender DualBand
authenticates Wi-Fi network users via a Radius server.
WPA uses the IEEE 802.1x and IETF EAP protocols to give users a secure
connection with both the access point and the Radius server, allowing the
exchange of credentials (
userName@domain
and
password
) and keys for
encrypting all traffic between the client and the access point—even after
authentication.
For more information on WLAN WPA configuration and other types of WLAN
configuration, see Appendix C, “WLAN Configuration Types.”
Follow these steps to create a profile that configures a WLAN for WPA:
