Wireless-N Broadband Router 11N – User Guide
This security mode is used when a RADIUS server is connected to
the Router. 802.1x, a kind of Port-based authentication protocol, is an
authentication type and strategy for users. The port can be either a
physic port or logic port (such as VLAN). For wireless LAN users, a
port is just a channel. The
fi
nal purpose of 802.11x authentication is to
check if the port can be used. If the port is authenticated successfully,
you can open this port which allows all the messages to pass. If the
port isn’t authenticated successfully, you can keep this port “disable”
which just allows 802.1x authentication protocol message to pass.
WEP:
Select “enable/disable” WEP encryption which indicates the
authentication process between wireless adapter and wireless
router.
Radius IP Address:
Please input IP address of the radius server
here.
Radius Port:
Please input the port number of the radius server
here.
Shared key:
The encryption key that the router is authenticated
through RADIUS server.
Session Timeout:
The recerti
fi
cation time interval between the router
and the server. The default value is 3600s.
NOTE:
To improve security level, do not use those words which
can be found in a dictionary or too easy to remember! Wireless clients
will remember the WEP key, so you only have to input the WEP key
on wireless client once, and it’s worth to use complicated WEP key to
improve security level.
WPS Settings
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setting)
can be easy and quick to establish
the connection between the wireless network clients and the Router
through encrypted contents. The users only enter the PIN code to
con
fi
gure without selecting encryption method and entering secret
keys by manual.
WPS Mode
: Supports two ways to con
fi
gure WPS settings:
PBC
(Push-Button Con
fi
guration) and PIN code.
PBC:
Select the PBC or press the WPS button on the panel of the
Router (Press the button for one second and WPS indicator will be
blinking for 2 minutes, which means the WPS is enabled. During the
blinking time, you can enable another Router to implement the WPS/
PBC negotiation between them. At present, the WPS only support
one client access. Two minutes later, the WPS indicator will be off.).
PIN:
If this option is enabled, you need to enter a wireless client’s
PIN code in the
fi
eld and keep the same code in the client.
