1. Setting Up Wireless Network

GN-1041 Operator’s Manual — Setting Up the Infrastructure Mode

19

Select Security Mode

After specifying the SSID, you must select the security mode for your wireless network.
The procedure to configure the security mode varies depending on the security mode 
that you select.

 

 P.19 "Selecting WPA/WPA2/802.1x security mode with EAP-TLS protocol"

 

 P.24 "Selecting WPA/WPA2/802.1x security mode with PEAP protocol"

 

 P.28 "Selecting WPAPSK/WPA2PSK security mode"

 

 P.31 "Selecting WEP security mode"

 

 P.33 "Selecting no security mode"

NOTE:

If you are not sure what security mode to select, see the following section to determine 
the security mode.

 

 P.11 "3. Determine the Security Mode"

Selecting WPA/WPA2/802.1x security mode with EAP-TLS protocol

Using the WPA/WPA2/802.1x authentication with the EAP-TLS protocol, you must 
install user certification file and CA certification file in the equipment.  This equipment 
uses the user certification file to authenticate the access rights to the wireless network, 
and the RADIUS server authenticate this equipment using the CA certification file.

NOTE:

When using the WPA/WPA2/802.1x authentication with the EAP-TLS protocol, you 
must install the CA certification file and user certification file in the equipment using 
TopAccess first.  For instructions on how to install the CA certification and user certifica-
tion files using TopAccess, please see 

TopAccess Guide

.

1.

Press the [WPA], [WPA2], or [802.1x] button and press the 
[NEXT] button.

The AUTHENTICATION SETTINGS screen is displayed.

NOTES:

When the [802.1x] button is selected, only the Dynamic WEP can be selected for 
the encryption setting.  When the [WPA] or [WPA2] button is selected, TKIP or 
AES(CCMP) can be selected.

When GN-1040 is connected, the [WPA], [WPA2], and [WPA2PSK] buttons cannot 
be selected.
