Authentication
If WEP security suite is selected,
select one of these authentication
options which appear.
Shared
: Encryption keys of both parties are compared as a form of
authentication. If mismatches occur, no connection establishes.
Open
: A connection establishes without first checking for matching
encryption keys. If keys do not match, however, data becomes garbled
and prevents connectivity on the IP level.
If WPA or WPA2/IEEE 802.11i security suite is selected,
select one of
these authentication options which appear:
PSK:
In pre-shared keying, the same key must be configured both on the
PremierWave 2050 side and on the access point side.
IEEE 802.1X:
This authentication method communicates with a RADIUS
authentication server that is part of the network. The RADIUS server
matches the credentials sent by the PremierWave 2050 module with an
internal database. If IEEE 802.1X is selected under authentication type,
select the protocol to use to authenticate the WLAN client.
Note:
WPA and WPA2/IEEE802.11i security suites are available for
Infrastructure mode only.
PMF
Select one of the following options regarding protected management frames
(PMF):
Disable
Optional
Required
Note:
This option is available when the WPA2/WPA mixed mode suite and
the IEEE 802.1x authentication settings are selected.
Key Type
Select a key Hex or Passphrase key type after indicating the security suite
type.
Key Size
If the WEP security suite is selected, then select 40 or 104 bit key size in this
field which becomes available.
Passphrase
If Passphrase key type is selected, enter an alphanumeric phrase up to 63
characters in length in this field which becomes available. Spaces and
special characters are allowed. Check Show
Password
to show the
passphrase entered.
TX Key Index
If WEP security suite and Hex key type have been selected, then select the
TX key index from the drop-down menu, which becomes available.
For interoperability with some products that generate four identical keys
from a passphrase, this index must be one.
For Keys 1-4, enter one or more encryption keys in hexadecimal format.
Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f) for WEP40 and 26 for WEP104. For
security reasons, the configured keys are not shown.
IEEE 802.1X
If IEEE 802.1X authentication is selected, choose a particular type:
LEAP
: type a User Name and Password, then select an Encryption.
EAP-TLS
: Type a Username, then select a value for Encryption. Options
are
CCMP
,
TKIP
, or
WEP
.
EAP-TTLS
PEAP:
For PEAP Option, select a security protocol.
FAST:
If selected, select the Fast Option and Fast Provisioning options.
