3.2.3 Legacy Authentication Modes
The Marvell Wireless Configuration Utility currently supports the following
legacy authentication modes:
•
Open System – Open Authentication (no key or pre-shared WEP key is
required)
•
Shared Key – Shared Authentication ( a pre-shared WEP key is required)
•
Auto Switch – Auto Select Authentication modes (no key or a pre-shared
WEP key is required)
•
WPA-PSK – WPA Pre-Shared Key
•
WPA2-PSK – WPA2 Pre-Shared Key
If Open System or Auto Switch is selected as Authentication Mode, Security Off
and WEP are available as Encryption Method. If Shared Key is selected as
Authentication Mode, WEP is pre-selected as Encryption Method. For details on
how to configure the WEP key(s), see Section 3.2.3.1
If WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected as Authentication Mode, AES and TKIP
are available as Encryption Method. For details on how to define the pre-shared
key, see Section 3.2.3.2.
Note: The authentication modes available depend on the network type selected on
the Network Info tab. For Ad-Hoc networks, only authentication modes without
encryption or with WEP key are available.
