Encryption
The OUTDOOR BRIDGE has the newest, strongest and most advanced
security features available today. When used with other 802.11 WPA (Wi-Fi

the authentication process the RADIUS server verifies the identity of the client
attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar clients will be denied access.
EAP(Extensible Authentication Protocol) is available through the Windows XP
Operating System. You will need to use the same type of EAP protocol on all
the devices in your network when using the 802.1x feature.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) authorizes and identifies users based on a
secret key that changes automatically at regular intervals. WPA uses TKIP
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000
packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This
ensures much greater security than the standard WEP security. (By contrast,
the previous WEP encryption implementations required the keys to be
