Authentication Type
Select the type of authentication.
Note
WLAN mode IEEE 802.11 n
With devices operated in WLAN mode IEEE8002.11n only WPA2 (WPA2-PSK and
WPA2 Radius) encryption is possible.
–
Open System
Without authentication
–
WEP
–
WPA-PSK
WPA authentication with WPA key. Enter the WPA key in ""WPA(2) Pass Phrase.
–
WPA (RADIUS)
WPA authentication with RADIUS server. You configure the access data on the next
Basic Wizard page.
–
WPA2-PSK
WPA2 authentication with WPA2 key. Enter the WPA2 key in ""WPA(2) Pass Phrase.
–
WPA2 (RADIUS)
WPA2 authentication with RADIUS server. You configure the access data on the next
Basic Wizard page.
–
iPCF authentication
This authentication type is shown when iPCF, iPCF-HT or iPCF-MC mode is enabled
at the corresponding WLAN interface.
You can enable iPCF authentication in the "iFeatures (Page 404)" menu.
●
Cipher
Select the encryption method.
–
AUTO
AES or TKIP is used depending on the capability of the other station.
–
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
A symmetrical encryption method with the RC4 algorithm (Ron’s Code 4). In contrast
to the weak WEP encryption, TKIP uses changing keys derived from a main key. TKIP
can also recognize corrupted data frames.
–
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
Strong symmetrical block encryption method based on the Rijndael algorithm that
further improves the functions of TKIP.
