Wireless Access Point User Guide
36
The available options are:
•
None
- No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network.
•
WEP
- The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption
system is not very strong.
•
WPA-PSK
- Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than
WEP, and should be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each
Wireless station. The 256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes fre-
quently.
•
WPA2-PSK
- This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security,
using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
•
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).
•
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:
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using digi-
tal certificates.
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius authentica-
tion data when required.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically
generated, so no key input is required.
•
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:
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using digi-
tal certificates.
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius authentica-
tion data when required.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA2 standard. Keys are automati-
cally generated, so no key input is required.
•
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:
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using digi-
tal certificates.
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius authentica-
tion data when required.
All data transmission is encrypted using EITHER WPA or WPA2 standard. Keys
are automatically generated, so no key input is required.
•
802.1x
- This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data encryp-
tion. If possible, you should use WPA-802.1x instead, because WPA encryption is much
stronger than WEP encryption.
