6.7 Wireless Client WPA Supplicants
A wireless client supplicant is the software that runs on an operating system instructing the
wireless client how to use WPA. At the time of writing, the most widely available supplicant is
the WPA patch for Windows XP, Funk Software's Odyssey client, and Meetinghouse Data
Communications' AEGIS client.
The Windows XP patch is a free download that adds WPA capability to Windows XP's built-in
"Zero Configuration" wireless client. However, you must run Windows XP to use it.
The Funk Software's Odyssey client is bundled free (at the time of writing) with the client
wireless adaptor(s).
6.8 Wireless Security Effectiveness
The following figure shows the relative effectiveness of these wireless security methods
available on your ZyXEL Device. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is used for
authentication and utilizes static WEP key exchange. It requires interaction with a RADIUS
(Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server either on the WAN or your LAN to
provide authentication service for wireless stations.
If you do not enable any wireless security on your ZyXEL Device, your network is accessible
to any wireless networking device within range.
6.9 Configuring Security
"
The following screens are configurable only in Access Point, AP+Bridge and
MBSSID operating modes only.
Use the Security screen to create secure profiles. A security profile is a group of configuration
settings which can be assigned to an SSID profile in the
SSID
configuration screen.
You can configure up to 16 security profiles.
