Authentication
Server
Specify which authentication server to use, by selecting one of the
following:
• RADIUS. A RADIUS server.
•
Internal User Database. The Safe@Office EAP authenticator.
Passphrase Type the passphrase for accessing the network, or click Random to
randomly generate a passphrase.
This must be between 8 and 63 characters. It can contain spaces and
special characters, and is case-sensitive.
For the highest security, choose a long passphrase that is hard to guess, or
use the Random button.
Note: The wireless stations must be configured with this passphrase as well.
Require WPA2
(802.11i)
Specify whether you want to require wireless stations to connect using
WPA2, by selecting one of the following:
• Enabled. Only wireless stations using WPA2 can access the
wireless network.
• Disabled. Wireless stations using either WPA or WPA2 can
access the wireless network. This is the default.
WPA Encryption Select the encryption method to use for authenticating and encrypting
wireless data:
• Auto. The Safe@Office appliance automatically selects the
cipher used by the wireless client. This is the default.
• AES. Advanced Encryption Standard
• TKIP. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
Note: AES is more secure than TKIP; however, some devices do not support
AES.
