GW 6000 Administrative Guide Configuration
802.1X: As the IEEE standard for access control for wireless and wired LANs, 802.1x
provides a means of authentication and authorizing devices to attach to a LAN port.
This standard defines the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), which uses a
central authentication server to authenticate each user on the network.
WPA/WPA2: The Wi-Fi Alliance put together WPA/WPA2 as a data encryption method
for 802.11 wireless LANs. WPA is an industry-supported, pre-standard version of
802.11i utilizing the Tempoal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which fixes the problems
of WEP, including using dynamic keys.
WPA/WPA2 Pre-Shared Key: Set the WPA/WPA2 Pre-Shared Key (PSK).
WPA/WPA2 Group Rekey Interval: Set the WPA/WPA2 Group Rekey Interval in
seconds. Leave blank or set to zero to disable periodic re-keying.

Radius Server: Set the IP address of the RADIUS server to use for authentication and
dynamic key derivation.
RADIUS Server is responsible for receiving user connection requests, authenticating
the user, and then returning all of the configuration information necessary for the client
to deliver the server to the user.
Radius Port: Sets the UDP port number of the RADIUS server. The port number is
usually 1812 or 1645 and depends on the server.
Radius Key: Set the shared secret for the RADIUS connection.
WEP Encryption: Selecting Disabled disables WEP data encryption. Selecting
Enabled enables WEP data encryption and requires that a valid network key be set
and selected unless 802.1X is enabled.
