WPA

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)/WPA2

/WPA2

/WPA2:

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

none WPA modes.

WPA2

is the second generation of

WPA

security

WPA-PSK

(WPA-Pre-Shared Key)

/WPA2-PSK

(WPA2-Pre-Shared Key)

:

It is useful for small places without authentication servers such as the network at home. It allows the

use of manually-entered keys or passwords and is designed to be easily set up for home users.

WEP Encryption:

You can choose

64-bit

or

128-bit

according to your needs. If you choose

Disabled

, the Network Keys

will not be shown on this page. If selected, the data is encrypted using the key before being transmitted.

For example, if you set 128-bit in this field, then the receiving station must be set to use the128 Bit

Encryption, and have the same Key value too. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.

(

Note: You need to connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of your

computer, and the other end to the ETHERNET port on the Wireless Voice Gateway.

)

±

If you select WEP (

64-bit

or

128-bit

), you can adjust the following settings-

±

Shared Key Authentication

: Decide whether to set the shared key

Optional

or

Required

by

selecting from the drop-down menu.

±

Network Key 1 to 4 :

The system allows you to enter four sets of the WEP key. For

64-bit

WEP

mode, the key length is 5 characters or 10 hexadecimal digits. As for

128-bit

WEP mode, the key

length is 13 characters or 26 hexadecimal digits.

±

Current Network Key :

Select one set of the network key (from 1 to 4) as the default one.

±

PassPhrase :

You can enter ASCII codes into this field. The range is from 8 characters to 64

characters. For

ASCII characters

, you can key in

63

characters in this field. If you want to key

in

64

characters, only

hexadecimal characters

can be used.

±

Generate WEP Keys :

Click this button to generate the PassPhrase.

After proper configuration, click Apply to invoke the settings.

802.1x Authentication

If you enable the

802.1x authentication

function, you will have to offer the following information-

±

RADIUS Server :

RADIUS Server is a protocol for carrying authentication, authorization, and

configuration information between a Network Access Server which desires to authenticate its

links and a shared Authentication Server. Please key in the IP Address for the RADIUS Server.

±

RADIUS Port :

Besides the IP address of the RADIUS Server, you have to enter the port number

for the server. Port 1812 is the reserved RADIUS-authentication port described in RFC 2138.

Earlier AP (RADIUS clients) use port 1945. The default value will be shown on this box. You

can keep and use it.

±

RADIUS Key:

A RADIUS Key is like a password, which is used between IAS and the specific

RADIUS client to verify identity. Both IAS and the RADIUS client must be use the same

RADIUS Key for successful communication to occur. Enter the RADIUS Key.

WPA/WPA2

For the WPA/WPA2 network Authentication, the settings that you can adjust including WPA/WPA2

Encryption, RADIUS Server, RADIUS Port, RADIUS Key, Group Key Rotation Interval, and

WPA/WPA2 Re-auth Interval.

±

WPA/WPA2 Encryption:

There are three types that you can choose,

TKIP*

,

AES**

,

TKIP+AES

.

TKIP takes the original master key only as a starting point and derives its encryption keys

mathematically from this mater key. Then it regularly changes and rotates the encryption

keys so that the same encryption key will never be used twice

** AES provides security between client workstations operating in ad hoc mode. It uses a

mathematical ciphering algorithm that employs variable key sizes of 128, 192 or 256 bits.

RADIUS Server/RADIUS Port/RADIUS Key: Please refer to the previous page.

±

Group Key Rotation Interval:

Key in the time for the WAP group key rotation interval. The unit

is second. With increasing rekey interval, user bandwidth requirement is reduced.

±

WPA/WPA2 Re-auth Interval:

When a wireless client has associated with the Wireless Voice

Gateway for a period of time longer than the setting here, it would be disconnected and the

authentication will be executed again. The default value is

3600

, you may modify it.

Please type the key to be between 8 and 63 characters, or 64

hexadecimal digits.

Only the devices with a matching key that you set here can join this network.
