Choose the following type.
WEP
1. Open System: wireless device does not any authentication and can be connected
with Access point. But the message between wireless device and Access point also
use encryption through the following type “authentication type”.
2.
Shared Key: If Shared Key is selected, you need to enabled WEP and enter at least
one shared key. “Shared Key” authentication type is working cooperate with
“data encryption type”. The specify key of WEP encryption configure not only be
encrypted the message between wireless device and Access point ,but also it will be
use validated the wireless Access point ,when wireless device attempt to connected
with Access point .
802.1x: IEEE 802.1x is a standard for network access control (port based), which was
introduced especially for distributing encryption keys in a wireless network. The Access
Point supports 802.1x for keeping out unauthorized users and for verifying the
credentials of users with RADIUS so that authorized users can access the network and
services. To use 802.1x, you will need at least one common Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) method on your authentication server, Access Points (authenticator) and
stations (supplicant). 802.1x is also used to perform generation and distribution of
encryption keys with enabling Data Encryption as WEP from AP to the station as part of
or after the authentication process.
WPA, WPA2 WPA & WPA2: In cooperation with RADIUS, systems with WPA-EAP
will be used with a new encryption method called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) implementation with 802.1x dynamic key exchange.
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK: Instead of using RADIUS for
authentication, systems with WPA-PSK will be configured with a secret password phrase.
Enter your password phrase and press “Generate”. You can now create a pre-shared key
in the Access Point and copy the characters you input to the station's WPA-PSK entry. A
shared secret is only secure as long as no third party knows about it.
