ProSafe 16 AP Wireless Management System WMS5316
The following table shows the data encryption options based on network authentication.
Network Authentication Data Encryption Description
Open None.
WEP.
No encryption.
Shared Key WEP. • 64-bit WEP encryption uses 40/64 bit
encryption.
• 128-bit WEP encryption uses
104/128 bit encryption.
• 152-bit WEP is a proprietary mode that
works only with other wireless devices
that support this mode.
Legacy 802.1x
WPA with RADIUS
WPA2 with RADIUS
• Select the WPA2 option only if all
clients support WPA2. If this option is
selected, you have to use AES.
• WPA/WPA2 with RADIUS allows
clients to use either WPA (with TKIP)
or WPA2 (with AES). If this option is
selected, you have to use TKIP +
AES encryption.
All require RADIUS configuration.
WPA-PSK
WPA2-PSK
TKIP or TKIP + AES and a WPA
passphrase (network key).
Standard encryption method for WPA2.
WPA2-PSK AES and TKIP + AES . Some clients support AES with WPA, but
this is not supported by this access point.
WPA and WPA2 TKIP + AES encryption and enter the
WPA passphrase (network key).
Clients can use either WPA (with TKIP) or
WPA2 (with AES).
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK: TKIP + AE. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For unicast
(point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients
use TKIP, and WPA2 clients use AES.
Advanced Security Profiles List for Access Point Groups
Note: Most networks do not require access point groups. See Chapter 1,
Getting Started for more information about basic settings for a typical
network and advanced settings for access point groups.
This screen lets you edit up to eight security profiles for managed access points in the
selected group. The number of security profiles applied to managed access point depends on
the supported profiles per access point. Separate profiles are applied to 802.11b/bg/ng and
802.11a/na mode radios.
