If it is necessary to configure WEP security, select Enable WEP to activate the WEP fields.
Configure the following values in the WEP security area:
Click Apply to save the settings or Reset to clear the fields on the panel.
Open Access
Select Enable Open Access to omit data encryption. A pop-up message warns of the potential
security risk in using open access. Click OK to continue.
SSID Authentication
Use the SSID Authentication tab (Figure 108) to assign RADIUS Authentication servers or a WPA
pre-shared key. RADIUS based authentication uses lists of servers, called authentication zones,
which are provided by the Airgo AP security portal or an external RADIUS server. Each SSID can
be configured with the RADIUS servers used for EAP authentication and the WPA pre-shared key
(if applicable).
MAC-ACL lookups can be enabled for clients that associate with WPA-PSK, manual WEP-keys,
or with no security. MAC-ACL is not applicable if per user authentication is done where username
is available.
NOTE: Selecting WPA-EAP or WPA-PSK displays a link that leads to the SSID
Authentication tab. Refer to “SSID Authentication” on page 152 for instructions on
using this tab.
