and WPA is enabled. If you wish to enable 802.1x, continue to step 4 of this proce-
dure.
To Enable WPA with 802.1x:
4.
Enter the radio server's IP address in the
Server Address
box - This address is
obtained from the administrator of the radio server.
5.
Enter the
port number
. The normal
default value is 1812
unless the network
administrator changes it to match a particular radio server’s port setting. In this
case, consult your network administrator for the proper setting.
6.
Enter the shared
secret
word, which can be any alphanumeric string, and is
case sensitive.
NOTE: Client and server must have the same secret word.
5.
Enter the
group key interval
value - typically between 3 and 60 minutes.
Advanced Settings
The
SSID Broadcast
setting is normally run in default, or “
Enabled
” mode,
which allows visitor’s clients to see your SSID and attempt to associate with
the Access Point. Where security concerns warrant, you can prevent intruders
from “sniffing” your SSID by
disabling
'SSID Broadcast',.
The
802.11b/g Mode
setting defaults to “
Mixed
”, allowing your access point
to talk to both to 802.11b (11 Mbit/s) and 802.11g (54 Mbit/s) clients. You
can configure it to exclusively support either “b” or g” clients via the pull-
down menu. Selecting the “11g only” mode increases system performance,
especially for streaming media applications, but unless all clients in your net-
work are “g”-compliant, we recommend that you keep the Mixed Mode.
