Open System
: It allows any device to join the network without performing any security check.
Shared Key
: Data encryption and key are required for wireless authentication (Not available in
Bridge/AP Repeater mode).
Legacy 802.1x
: Available in AP/Wireless Client mode, it provides the rights to access the
wireless network and wired Ethernet. With User and PC identity, centralized authentication as well
as dynamic key management, it controls the security risk of wireless network to the lowest. To
serve the 802.1x, at least one EAP type should be supported by the RADIUS Server, AP and
wireless client.
For first time users, if EAP type “TLS” is selected, you need to import valid user
certificate given by CA in prior. To import user certificates, please refer to Chapter 5
Management/Certificate Settings for more details. .
WPA with RADIUS
: Available in AP/Wireless Client mode, with warrant (username, password
and etc.) offered by user, this kind of authentication can be realized with specific RADIUS server.
This is the common way to be adopted in large enterprise network.
WPA2 with RADIUS
: Available in AP/Wireless Client mode, as a new version of WPA, only all the
clients support WPA2, can it be available. If it is selected, AES encryption and RADIUS server is
required. It is only available in AP/Wireless Client mode.
WPA&WPA2 with RADIUS
: Available in AP mode, it provides options of WPA (TKIP) or WPA2
(AES) for the client. If it is selected, the data encryption type must be TKIP + AES and the
RADIUS server must be set.
WPA-PSK
: It is a simplified WPA mode with no need for specific authentication server. In this
so-called WPA Pre-Shared Key, all you have to do is just pre-enter a key in each WLAN node and
this is the common way to be adopted in large and middle enterprise as well as residential
network.
WPA2-PSK
: As a new version of WPA, only all the clients support WPA2, can it be available. If it is
selected, the data encryption can only be AES and the passphrase is required.
WPA-PSK&WPA2-PSK
: Available in AP mode, it provides options of WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES)
