4.4 WPA/WPA2 with 802.1x Authentication

The PePLink Surf supports authentication and encryption methods of “802.1x

with dynamic WEP key encryption” and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise. A radius

server can be used to perform authentication based on the IEEE standard

802.1x with EAP-TTLS.

To set it up, you have to configure the PePLink Surf, the access point and a

radius server.

By default, EAP-TTLS/CHAP is used as the EAP authentication method. You

can change this setting in the System Settings page. Please refer to chapter

4.9.3 .

4.4.1 Configure the PePLink Surf

To enable the 802.1x authentication, you can go to the CPE Setup page,

choose “WPA” for the Authentication setting and leave the WEP key setting

empty.

Certificate checking

By default, the PePLink Surf does not verify the radius server’s

certificate. If you would like to check the certificate, you can use a

command-line based FTP client to upload your certificate to the

PePLink Surf.

1. ftp to the PePLink Surf (default IP is 192.168.20.1)

2. Type the login ID and password: “root” and “MSurf000

”

3. cd /etc/1x

4. put root.pem
