7. Configure the WPA2-CCMP Mixed Mode field as needed to allow TKIP and WPA2 client
interoperation.
8. Configure the Fast Roaming (802.1x only) field as required to enable additional AP-5131
roaming and key caching options. This feature is applicable only when using 802.1x EAP
authentication with WPA2/CCMP.
9. Click the Apply button to save any changes made within the WPA2/CCMP Settings field of
the New Security Policy screen.
ASCII Passphrase To use an ASCII passphrase (and not a hexadecimal value), select
the checkbox enter an alphanumeric string of 8 to 63 characters.
The string allows character spaces. The
AP-5131 converts the
string to a numeric value. This passphrase saves the administrator
from entering the 256-bit key each time keys are generated.
256-bit Key To use a hexadecimal value (and not an ASCII passphrase), select
the checkbox and enter 16 hexadecimal characters into each of the
four fields displayed.
Allow WPA-TKIP
clients
WPA2-CCMP Mixed Mode enables WPA2-CCMP and WPA-TKIP
clients to operate together on the network. Enabling this option
allows backwards compatibility for clients that support WPA-TKIP
but do not support WPA2-CCMP. Symbol recommends enabling this
feature if WPA-TKIP supported MUs operate within a WLAN
populated by WPA2-CCMP enabled clients.
Pre-Authentication Selecting this option enables an associated MU to carry out an
802.1x authentication with another
AP-5131 before it roams to it.
The
AP-5131 caches the keying information of the client until it
roams to the other
AP-5131. This enables the roaming client to
start sending and receiving data sooner by not having to do 802.1x
authentication after it roams. This feature is only supported when
802.1x EAP authentication is enabled.
