RADIUS Server
is responsible for receiving user connection requests,
authenticating the user, and then returning all of the configuration information
necessary for the client to deliver the server to the user.
Radius Port:
Sets the UDP port number of the RADIUS server. The port
number is usually 1812 or 1645 and depends on the server.
Radius Key:
Set the shared secret for the RADIUS connection.
Data Encryption (WEP):
Selecting
Off
disables WEP data encryption.
Selecting
WEP
enables WEP data encryption and requires that a valid network
key be set and selected unless
802.1X
is enabled.
WEP,
short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, is a protocol for wireless LANs or
local area networks. This WEP is defined in the 802.11 Standard. WEP is
designed so security levels are maintained at the same level as the wired LAN.
WEP’s aim is to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves. WEP
protects data as it’s transmitted from one end point to another. WEP is used at
two lowest layers, the data link and physical layer. WEP is designed to make
up for the inherent security in wireless transmission as compared to wired
transmission.
Shared Key Authentication:
Set whether shared key authentication is
required to associate. A valid network key must be set and selected if required.
