When RTC/CTS is open, the router will resend the data frames until another RTC/CTS is finished.
【Auth.\Encry.】 In this page, the user could make the setting about Encryption and Authentication for the Wireless Adapter. For the data security of the wireless environment, IEEE 802.11 stipulates WEP(be equivalent to Wired encryption) protocol to ensure the transmission security. WEP uses the encryption key to encrypt or decrypt the packet. The encryption process confuses the frame order in order to avoid any leak to others. WPA/WPA2 is the improved security system of 802.
Open--- This option makes the network run under the open system mode without any authentication. Open base station and AP could authenticate with each other even there is WEP encryption key. Shared encryption key- This option makes the network run under shared encryption key. Under shared encryption key authentication system modem, it needs four-step frame switch to ensure if the base station uses the same WEP encryption key as the AP or not.
supports Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) FORBID ---Forbid the encryption function. WEP -- The shared key performs the encryption before data wireless transports, you could communicate with the wireless devices which use the same shared key. TKIP --TKIP uses the stricter encryption rules than the WEP, and also use the existing WLAN arithmetic to realize the encryption. TKIP will verify the security configuration after shared key encryption is realized.
【802.1x configuration】 When choose “ WPA” or “ WPA2” under authentication mode you could configure this option. If you chose “ Open” and “ Shared-key” , you could also click “ 802.11 x authentication” to configure 802.11x. The authentication includes, PEAP --PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an edition of EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol。EAP assures the mutual authentication of wireless users and server at the networking operation center.
extension of security channel. In the extensible function edition 3(CCX v.3) which is compatible with Cisco, Cisco increases supports for EAP-FAST, the protocol establishes verified channel between user port and sever by using PAC. Mutual validation doesn’t need to use certificate, but use certain method of PAC to achieve it. PAC can provide allocation to user port with manual operation or automatic operation. As to Tunnel Authentication, it only offers “Generic Token Card “.
