The following screen appears when Wireless Security is selected. The options shown
here allow you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface.
WIRELESS SECURITY
Setup requires that the user configure these settings using the Web User Interface
(see the table below).
Select SSID
Select the wireless network name from the drop-down menu. SSID stands for
Service Set Identifier. All stations must be configured with the correct SSID to
access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match, that client will not be granted access.
Network Authentication
This option specifies whether a network key is used for authentication to the
wireless network. If network authentication is set to Open, then no authentication
is provided. Despite this, the identity of the client is still verified.
Each authentication type has its own settings. For example, selecting 802.1X
authentication will reveal the RADIUS Server IP address, Port and Key fields. WEP
Encryption will also be enabled as shown below.
Choosing
WPA2-PSK
, you must enter WPA/WAPI passphrase and Group Rekey
Interval.
WEP Encryption
This option specifies whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same
network key is used for data encryption and network authentication. Four network
keys can be defined although only one can be used at any one time. Use the Current
Network Key list box to select the appropriate network key.
