WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption scrambles all data packets transmitted between the AP
and the wireless stations associated with it in order to keep network communications private. Both
the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key for data encryption and
decryption.
WPA and WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a
wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management
than WPA. Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are improved data encryption and user
authentication.
IEEE 802.1x
The IEEE 802.1x standard outlines enhanced security methods for both the authentication of
wireless stations and encryption key management. Authentication is done using an external
RADIUS server.
33.2 Radio Screen
This screen allows you to create radio profiles for the APs on your network. A radio profile is a list of
settings that a supported managed AP (NWA5121-N for example) can use to configure either one of
its two radio transmitters. To access this screen click Configuration > Object > AP Profile.
Note: You can have a maximum of 64 radio profiles on the UAG.
