Chapter 3 - Configuring the CV30 • a CV30 with the 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA security option. The CV30 also supports Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) if you are using Funk security. WPA2 is a product certification available through the Wi-Fi Alliance that certifies wireless equipment is compatible with the 802.11i standard. WPA2 uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption. WPA2 runs in 802.1x (Enterprise) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode: • For WPA2-802.1x mode, WPA2 requires authentication in two phases; the first is an open system authentication and the second uses 802.1x and an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication method. • In PSK mode, WPA2 provides user authentication using a shared key between the authenticator and the CV30. WPA2PSK is a good solution for small offices or home offices that do not want to use an authentication server. Using 802.1x Security 802.1x security provides centralized user authentication using an authentication server, authenticators (access points), and supplicants. These components communicate using an EAP authentication type, such as TLS (Transport Layer Security) or PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). 802.1x security provides data encryption using dynamic WEP key management. To use 802.1x security, you need: • an access point with an 802.11b/g radio. • a CV30 with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA security option. • an authentication server. Note: You can also use a MobileLAN access point with software release 1.80 or later as an authentication server. For help, see the system manual for your access point.

•
a CV30 with the 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA
security option.
The CV30 also supports Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) if you
are using Funk security. WPA2 is a product certification available
through the Wi-Fi Alliance that certifies wireless equipment is
compatible with the 802.11i standard. WPA2 uses the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption.
WPA2 runs in 802.1x (Enterprise) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared
Key) mode:
•
For WPA2-802.1x mode, WPA2 requires authentication in
two phases; the first is an open system authentication and the
second uses 802.1x and an Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) authentication method.
•
In PSK mode, WPA2 provides user authentication using a
shared key between the authenticator and the CV30. WPA2-
PSK is a good solution for small offices or home offices that
do not want to use an authentication server.
Using 802.1x Security
802.1x security provides centralized user authentication using an
authentication server, authenticators (access points), and
supplicants. These components communicate using an EAP
authentication type, such as TLS (Transport Layer Security) or
PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). 802.1x
security provides data encryption using dynamic WEP key
management.
To use 802.1x security, you need:
•
an access point with an 802.11b/g radio.
•
a CV30 with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA
security option.
•
an authentication server.
Note:
You can also use a MobileLAN access point with
software release 1.80 or later as an authentication server. For
help, see the system manual for your access point.
