WLAN Profile Settings Description

Network Name (SSID) Enter or modify the network name.

State Click to enable or disable.

Suite Select a security suite configuration:

 None

Select None to not select a security suite.

 WEP

WEP security is available in Infrastructure mode. WEP is a simple and

efficient security mode, encrypting the data using the RC4 algorithm.

However, WEP has become more vulnerable due to advances in hacking

technology. State-of-the-art equipment can find WEP keys in 5 minutes.

For stronger security, use WPA, or the stronger WPA2, with AES (CCMP).

 WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode

Authentication If WEP security suite is selected, select one of these authentication

options which appear.

 Shared: Encryption keys of both parties are compared as a form of

authentication. If mismatches occur, no connection establishes.

 Open: A connection establishes without first checking for matching

encryption keys. If keys do not match, however, data becomes garbled

and prevents connectivity on the IP level.

If WPA or WPA2/IEEE 802.11i security suite is selected, select one of

these authentication options which appear:

 PSK: In pre-shared keying, the same key must be configured both on the

SGX 5150 side and on the access point side.

 IEEE 802.1X: This authentication method communicates with a RADIUS

authentication server that is part of the network. The RADIUS server

matches the credentials sent by the SGX 5150 unit with an internal

database. If IEEE 802.1X is selected under authentication type, select the

protocol to use to authenticate the WLAN client.

PMF Select one of the following options regarding protected management frames

(PMF):

 Disable

 Optional

 Required

Note: This option is available when the WPA2/WPA mixed mode suite and

the IEEE 802.1x authentication settings are selected.

Key Type Select a key Hex or Passphrase key type after indicating the security suite

type.

Key Size If the WEP security suite is selected, then select 40 or 104 bit key size in this

field which becomes available.
