Name Description
WPA/WPA2: WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) authentication is suitable for enterprises. It must be used in
conjunction with an authentication server such as RADIUS to provide centralized access control and
management. It can provide stronger encryption and authentication solution than non WPA modes.
Name Description
WPA-PSK/WPA2-
PSK:
A newer type of security is WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES). This type of security gives a
more secure network when compared to WEP. Use TKIP Encryption Type for WPA-PSK and AES for
WPA2-PSK. After that, please enter the key in the Passphrase eld. The key needs to be more than 8
characters and less than 63 characters and it can be any combination of letters and numbers. Please
note that the conguration for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK is identical.
Name Description
802.1x: In order to use 802.1X security, you need to have a RADIUS server on your network that will act as the
authentication server. Please type in the details for your RADIUS server in the elds required.
Note: After conguring wireless security, you also need to congure your wireless adapter to use the same security settings before you can connect wirelessly. Not all wireless
adapters support WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/WPA/WPA2 security; please refer to your wireless adapter user guide for more details. It is strongly recommended to set up a simple
wireless security such as WEP 64bit or WPA (when the wireless client supports WPA) in order to secure your network.
