Wireless Access Point User Guide
x
WPA2-PSK
- This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater secu-
rity, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
x
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK -
This method, sometimes called "Mixed Mode", allows
clients to use EITHER WPA-PSK (with TKIP) OR WPA2-PSK (with AES).
x
WPA with Radius
- This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to
provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are
encrypted using the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:
x
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
x
Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
x
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when re-
quired.
x
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically
generated, so no key input is required.
x
WPA2 with Radius
- This version of WPA2 requires a Radius Server on your LAN to
provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are
encrypted using the WPA2 standard.
If this option is selected:
x
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
x
Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using digital
certificates.
x
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius authentication
data when required.
x
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA2 standard. Keys are automatically
generated, so no key input is required.
x
WPA and WPA2 with Radius
- EITHER WPA or WPA2 require a Radius Server on
your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data
transmissions are encrypted using EITHER WPA or WPA2 standard.
If this option is selected:
x
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
x
Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using digital
certificates.
x
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius authentication
data when required.
x
All data transmission is encrypted using EITHER WPA or WPA2 standard. Keys are
automatically generated, so no key input is required.
x
802.1x
- This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data encryp-
tion.
If this option is selected:
x
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
x
Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
x
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when re-
quired.
x
All data transmission is encrypted using the WEP standard. You only have to select
the WEP key size; the WEP key is automatically generated.
