security. If you want to enable the security mechanism, click the
Security tab.
 Network Authentication
Without implementing security, it is possible for an unauthorized
person to intercept your data. It will ensure only authorized
users can access the network.
Use Network Authentication drop-down list to select the method
of wireless security. There are three methods provided: 802.1X,
WPA and WPA-PSK.
(1) 802.1X
802.1X is an IEEE standard for authenticated network access to
wired networks and wireless 802.11 networks. It provides a
framework for centralized user identification and authentication,
and a key distribution management method. Clients authorized
by RADIUS servers can access this WX-5803. To use 802.1X,
enter the required values on RADIUS Server IP Address,
RADIUS Port and RADIUS Key fields.
(2) WPA
WPA also adopts an authentication scheme -- via 802.1X. It
consists of three main elements: an Authentication Server
(typically a RADIUS server), WPA-enabled router or AP (called
"Authenticator"), and a WPA-enabled client (called "Supplicant").
