Configuring Privacy for a WM-AD
Privacy is a mechanism that protects data over wireless and wired networks, usually by encryption
techniques. The following section describes how the Privacy mechanism is handled for a Captive Portal
WM-AD and an AAA WM-AD.
Privacy for a WM-AD for Captive Portal
For the Captive Portal WM-AD, there are three options for the privacy mechanism:
● None
● Static Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) – Keys for a selected WM-AD, so that it matches the WEP
mechanism used on the rest of the network. Each radio can support up to eight SSIDs. Each AP can
participate in up to 8 WM-ADs. For each WM-AD, only one WEP key can be specified. It is treated
as the first key in a list of WEP keys.
● Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Pre-Shared key (PSK) – Privacy in PSK mode, using a Pre-Shared
Key (PSK), or shared secret for authentication. WPA-PSK is a security solution that adds
authentication to enhanced WEP encryption and key management. WPA-PSK mode does not require
an authentication server. It is suitable for home or small office.
To configure privacy by static WEP for a Captive Portal WM-AD:
1 From the main menu, click WM-AD Configuration. The WM-AD Configuration screen is
displayed.
2 In the left pane WM Access Domains list, click the WM-AD you want to configure privacy by static
WEP for a Captive Portal. The Topology tab is displayed.
3 Click the Privacy tab.
