Encryption
The encryption method to be applied.
You can choose from WEP, WPA pre-shared key or WPA RADIUS.
• Disabled - no data encryption is used. LG-Ericsson strongly recommends that you
set up wireless security.
• WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
• WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard
than WEP and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations
support WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.
• WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK and offers even greater
security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
• WPA-RADIUS - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to
provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data
transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:
• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when
required.
• All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are
automatically generated, so no key input is required.
IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the
wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does
not encrypt the data during communication.
