4.2.2.3 Static WEP + IEEE 802.1x Authentication
In addition to static WEP encryption (as described in Section 4.2.2.2 on page 49 ), the NXC-
8160 also provides a second layer of security encryption that works in tandem with it called
IEEE 802.1x Authentication. The IEEE 802.11x standard outlines enhanced security methods
for both the authentication of wireless stations and encryption key management.
Authentication is done using an external RADIUS server.
From the Method menu, select either WEP64 & 802.1x Authentication or WEP128 &
802.1x Authentication to display the following parameters.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Method Select either WEP64 & 802.1x Authentication or WEP128 & 802.1x
Authentication from the drop-down list.
WEP Keys WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent unauthorized
wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network.
Transmission
Keys The WEP keys are used to secure your data from eavesdropping by unauthorized
wireless users. Both the NXC-8160 and the wireless clients must use the same
WEP key for data transmission.
You can configure up to four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one
time. Select a WEP key to use for data encryption. The default key is key 1.
To set the WEP keys, select
ASCII or HEX as the Input Format and enter the key
in the field provided. Select ASCII option to enter ASCII characters as the WEP
keys. Select the HEX option to enter hexadecimal characters as the WEP keys.
If you chose WEP64 in the Security Mode field, then enter 5 ASCII characters or
10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for each key.
If you chose
WEP128 in the Security Mode field, then enter 13 ASCII characters or
26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for each key.
