The following table lists the
WEP
wireless security screen fields and their definitions:
Field
Description
Select an SSID and
its Security Level
If multiple SSID is enabled, use the drop-down menu to select
the SSID that you want to apply wireless security to.
Enable WEP
Wireless Security
Check this field to enable WEP wireless security on the
selected SSID.
Authentication Type
This refers to the authentication algorithm to use when the
security configuration is set to
Legacy.
This field is enabled
when the WEP security field is checked. There are 3 options:
•
Open
(default): In open-system authentication, the
access point accepts any station without verifying its
identity.
•
Shared
: Shared key authentication requires a shared
key (WEP encryption key) be distributed to the stations
before attempting authentication.
•
Both:
If
Both
is selected, the access point will perform
shared-key authentication, then open-system
authentication.
Encryption Key
This field is enabled when the WEP security is checked to
identify the key value that is used when the security
configuration is set to WEP. The key length must match the
WEP cipher.
WEP Cipher
This field is enabled when the WEP security is checked. You
can select from
64 bits, 128 bits,
and
256 bits
-
these are the
WEP cipher that is used when the security configuration is set
to
WEP
. This field is not used when the security configuration
is set to
802.1x
and
WPA.

802.1x
802.1x is a security protocol for WLAN. It is a port-based network access control that
keeps the network disconnected until authentication is completed. 802.1x is based on
extensible authentication protocol (EAP). EAP messages from the authenticator to the
authentication server typically use the remote authentication dial-in user server (RADIUS)
protocol.
To configure wireless security for
802.1x
, follow the steps below.
Step 1
:
From the
Wireless
tab, click the
Security
link provided. The following page
appears:
Step 2:
Select the
802.1x
protocol from the security options provided. The following
page appears:
Step 3:
Enter the IP address of the server under the
Server IP Address
field.
Step 4:
The default
Port
is set to
1812
. Enter a different port number if
Page 143 / 181

143
required.
Step 5:
Enter the secret that the AP shares with the RADIUS server in the
Secret
field.
Step 6:
Enter the group key interval in seconds in the
Group Key Interval
field. The
default value is set to
3600.
Step 7:
Click the
Apply
button to apply the settings.
Step 8:
To save your configuration, please refer to the section under
Save / Restart
Menu
.
The following table lists the
WEP
wireless security screen fields and their definitions:
Field
Description
Select an SSID and
its Security Level
If multiple SSID is enabled, use the drop-down menu to select
the SSID that you want to apply wireless security to.
Server IP Address
The IP address of the RADIUS server. This is used for
authentication purposes.
Port
This is the protocol port of the RADIUS server.
Secret
This is the secret that the AP shares with the RADIUS server.
You can enter up to 63 alphanumeric characters.
Group Key Interval
The group key interval that is used to distribute the group key
to 802.1x and WPA stations. The default value of this field is
3600
seconds.

WPA
WPA is a security protocol for WLAN. WPA uses a sophisticated key hierarchy that
generates new encryption keys each time a mobile device establishes itself with an AP.
Protocols including 802.1X, EAP, and RADIUS are used for strong authentication.
Like WEP, keys can still be entered manually (pre-shared keys); however, using a
RADIUS authentication server provides automatic key generation and enterprise-wide
authentication. WPA uses temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP) for data encryption.
WPA2, also known as 802.11i, uses advanced encryption standard counter mode CBC-
MAC protocol for data encryption.
To configure
WPA
wireless security, follow the steps below.
Step 1
:
From the
Wireless
tab, click the
Security
link provided. The following page
appears:
Step 2:
Select the
WPA
protocol from the security options provided. The following
page appears:

Step 3:
The
WPA
radio option is highlighted by default as shown above. You may
select from 2 other options provided as applicable:
WPA2, AnyWPA
.
Step 4:
The default
Group Key Interval
field is set to
3600
seconds. Enter a different
interval time if required.
Step 5:
The
Radius Server
is the default radio option selected. Select
Pre-Shared
Key
radio option if a pre-shared secret with the AP is used instead.
Step 6:
Enter the IP address of the Radius Server in the
IP Address
field.
Step 7:
The default port number is set to
1812
. Enter a different port number in the
Port
field if required.
Step 8:
Enter the
Secret
field.
Step 9:
Click the
Apply
button to apply the settings.
Step 10:
To save your configuration, please refer to the section under
Save / Restart

The following table lists the
WPA
wireless security screen fields and their definitions:
Field
Description
Select an SSID and
its Security Level
If multiple SSID is enabled, use the drop-down menu to select
the SSID that you want to apply wireless security to.
WPA
Enables stations that support WPA v.1 to
connect to the AP.
WPA2
Enables stations that support WPA v.2 to
connect to the AP.
WPA Options
Any WPA
Enables stations that support WPA v.1 and
WPA v.2 to connect to the AP.
Enable WPA2 Pre-
Authentication
Enables / Disables WPA2 pre-authentication. This field is only
activated when
WPA2
or
AnyWPA
is enabled.
Group Key Interval
This value is measured in seconds. The default value is
3600
seconds.
When selected, the WPA stations authenticate with the
RADIUS server using extensible authentication protocol -
transport layer security (EAP-TLS) over 802.1x.
IP Address
The IP address of the RADIUS server.
Port
The protocol port of the RADIUS server.
Radius Server
Secret
This is the secret that the AP shares with the
RADIUS server. You can enter up to 63
alphanumeric characters into this field.
When selected, the WPA stations do not authenticate with the
RADIUS server using EAP-TLS. Instead, they share a pre-
shared key secret with the AP (ASCII format).
Pre-Shared Key
PSK String
PSK stands for the pre-shared key string. The
PSK string needs to be entered in the first time
configuration of each station. You can enter
8 -
63
alphanumeric characters in this field.
