Security
Security System
Choose the security method from the drop-down list. Refer to the
following section for more details.
Security Settings
Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected method.
The available options are:
None - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network.
WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption
system is not very strong.
WPA-PSK - Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than
WEP, and should be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each
Wireless station. The 256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes fre-
quently.
WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater securi-
ty, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK - This method, sometimes called "Mixed Mode", allows
clients to use EITHER WPA-PSK (with TKIP) OR WPA2-PSK (with AES).
WPA with 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.
WPA2 with Radius - This version of WPA2 requires a Radius Server on your LAN to
provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are
encrypted using the WPA2 standard.
If this option is selected:
This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using digital
certificates.
Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius authentication
data when required.
