3-4-3-3. Use Dynamic Security (Leap, 802.1X, etc.):
802.1X is an IEEE security standard for network security access control. It is used to
control access to wired and wireless networks and dynamically provide keys for encryption.
To use this function, an access point with its 802.1X function is required to act as an
intermediary between WLAN card and the network’s RADIUS (Remote Authentication
Dial-In User Service) server. The access point blocks all traffic from the card until the
server has authenticated it. Microsoft Windows XP supports 802.1X as part of the
operation system. To active this function, please follow these steps:
1. Click “
