NOTE: Use this method to connect to a Cisco Compatible Extensions v4
network. If you are connecting to a Cisco Compatible Extensions v3 network,
you must use the EAP-FAST/NONE method.
– PEAP/MSCHAPv2 —PEAP EAP authentication with MS-CHAPv2
inner authentication. Requires username and password.
–
PEAP/GTC —PEAP EAP authentication with GTC inner authentication.
Requires username and password or token to log on.
Wi-Fi Encryption Methods
The following Wi-Fi encryption methods are supported:
– WEP — Wired Equivalent Privacy encryption prevents unauthorized
reception of wireless data. WEP provides two levels of security, using a
64-bit or a 128-bit key. For stronger security, use a 128-bit key. If you
use encryption, all wireless devices on your wireless network must use
the same encryption keys. WEP uses an encryption key to encrypt data
before transmitting it. Only portable systems using the same encryption
key can access the network or decrypt the encrypted data transmitted by
other portables. Authentication provides an additional validation process
from the wireless network adapter to the wireless access point.
–
TKIP — Temporal Key Integrity protocol is an enhancement to the WEP
security. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity
check, and a re-keying mechanism, which fixes the flaws of WEP.
–
AES — Advanced Encryption Standard protocol provides a stronger
encryption method than TKIP. Choose AES as the data encryption
method whenever strong data protection is important.
–
CKIP — Cisco Key Integrity Protocol is a Cisco proprietary security
protocol for encrypting 802.11 wireless and wired networks. CKIP
improves security in wireless infrastructure mode using key
permutation, message integrity check, an message sequence number.
Cisco networking infrastructure is required.
Mobile Broadband Connections
Mobile Broadband, sometimes referred to as WWAN (Wireless Wide Area
Network), is a method of wireless data access to the Internet using a mobile
operator’s cellular network.
