identified) are allowed to connect to each other. • LEAP: This is a pre-EAP, Cisco-proprietary protocol with many of the features of EAP protocols. Cisco controls the ability of other vendors to implement this protocol, so it should be selected for use only when a limited vendor choice for client, access point and server products is not a concern. When you’ve set up LEAP authentication, . you need to enter the username and password of your computer.
or PSK, technology. It also includes a new advanced encryption mechanism using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is required for corporate or government users. The difference between WPA and WPA2 is that WPA2 provides data encryption via AES. In contrast, WPA uses the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). • WPA2-PSK: This is also for home and small business use. The difference between WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK is that WPA2-PSK provides data encryption via the AES.
in the wireless network. There are two types of key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Assign a default encryption key (Key#1 to Key#4) by clicking on the corresponding radio button. To fill in each text field: • 64-bit: Input 10-digit hex values (in the A-F, a-f and 0-9 range) or 5-digit ASCII characters (a-z and 0-9) as the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef“ or “test1.
802.1x Setting / Certification EAP Method: The EAP authentication protocols supported by this adapter require that settings be consistent with the wireless access . points or routers that the adapter is intended to connect. • PEAP & TTLS: These protocols are similar and easier to use than TLS (below) in that they specify a stand-alone authentication protocol to be used within an encrypted tunnel. TTLS supports any protocol .
802.1x Setting / CA Server Use certificate chain: When the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication type — such as TLS, TTLS or PEAP — is selected and requires certification to tell the client what credentials to accept from the authentication server in order to verify the server, you need to enable this function. Choose the preferred server from the drop-down menu to issue the certificate.
