802.1x
With 802.1x authentication, a wireless PC can join any network and receive any messages that are not
encrypted, however, additional setup for RADIUS to issue the WEP key dynamically will be required.
RADIUS is an authentication, authorization, and accounting client-server protocol. The client is a
Network Access Server that desires to authenticate its links. The server is a server that has access to a
user database with authentication information.
If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access
Point), all Wireless stations should be
set to use the same Channel.
However, most Wireless stations will
still scan all Channels to see if there
is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they
can join.
Wireless LAN Configuration
To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must
use the same settings, as follows:
Mode
The mode must be set to Infrastructure.
SSID (ESSID)
The network name must match the value used on the Wireless Router.
Note! The SSID is case- sensitive.
Disable
If there is no security is enabled on the Wireless Router, the security of
each station should be disabled as well. And, you can connect the
Wireless Router without security, but it is NOT recommended.
WEP
Open System/ Shared
Key/ Auto
By default, WEP on the Wireless Router is disabled.
Shared Key only supports WEP as encryption method.
AUTO(Open/Shared) means AP can accept STA connect to it using
OPEN-WEP or SHARED-WEP.
• If WEP remains disabled on the Wireless Router, all stations must
have WEP disabled.
• If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, each station must use the
same settings as the Wireless Router.
Personal (Pre-Shared
Key)
WPA
WPA2
WPA2-Mixed
WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES)/ WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES: If one of these
securities is enabled on the Wireless Router. To make a connection,
each station must use the same algorithms and pass phrase as the
Wireless Router.
