Step 2: Specify the SSID name and wireless VLAN ID. Select whether to broadcast this SSID and whether to enable the Portal authentication. If the Portal authentication is enabled, you can configure it on the Portal page. Select whether to enable the SSID Isolation feature. Enabling this feature means that all the clients connecting to this added wireless network cannot communicate with each other. Select whether to enable the Access Control feature. You can configure it on the Access Control page. Step 3: Select the security mode of the wireless network. Three security modes are provided: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA-Enterprise, and WPA-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key). (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, a security standard compatible with IEEE 802.11e. Enterprise refers to using Radius Server for authentication, while Radius stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) Settings vary in different modes as the details are in the following introduction. If you select None, any client can be allowed to access the wireless network.  WEP: Based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, this security mode is less safe than WPA-Enterprise and WPA-PSK. NOTE: WEP is not supported in 802.11n mode. If WEP is applied in 802.11n mode, the clients may not be able to access the wireless network. If WEP is applied in 11b/g/n mode (2.4GHz) or 11a/n (5GHz), the EAP device may work at a low transmission rate. Type: Select the authentication type of WEP.  Auto: The default setting is Auto, which can select Open System or Shared Key automatically based on the wireless client's capability and request.  Open System: After you select Open System, client in the wireless network can pass the authentication and associate with the wireless network without password. However, correct password is necessary for data transmission.  Shared Key: After Shared Key is selected, you have to enter password for client to pass the authentication, or it cannot associate with the wireless network or transmit data. Key Selected: You can configure four keys in advance and select one as the present valid key. WEP Key Format: Select the WEP key format ASCII or Hexadecimal.  ASCII: ASCII format stands for any combination of keyboard characters in the specified length. 24

to enable the Portal authentication. If the Portal authentication is enabled, you can configure it
on the
Portal
page. Select whether to enable the SSID Isolation feature. Enabling this feature
means that all the clients connecting to this added wireless network cannot communicate with

Step 3:
Select the security mode of the wireless network.
Three security modes are provided:
WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy),
WPA-Enterprise

and
WPA-PSK
(WPA Pre-Shared Key). (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, a security standard compatible with IEEE
802.11e. Enterprise refers to using Radius Server for authentication, while Radius stands for Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service.) Settings vary in different modes as the details are in the following
introduction. If you select
None
, any client can be allowed to access the wireless network.
WEP
: Based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, this security mode is less safe than WPA-Enterprise
and
WPA-PSK.
NOTE:
WEP is not supported in 802.11n mode. If WEP is applied in 802.11n mode, the clients may not be able to
access the wireless network. If WEP is applied in 11b/g/n mode (2.4GHz) or 11a/n (5GHz), the EAP device
may work at a low transmission rate.
Type
: Select the authentication type of WEP.
Auto
: The default setting is Auto, which can select Open System or Shared Key automatically based
on the wireless client's capability and request.
Open System
: After you select Open System, client in the wireless network can pass the
authentication and associate with the wireless network without password. However, correct
password is necessary for data transmission.
Shared Key
: After Shared Key is selected, you have to enter password for client to pass the
authentication, or it cannot associate with the wireless network or transmit data.
Key Selected
: You can configure four keys in advance and select one as the present valid key.
WEP Key Format
: Select the WEP key format ASCII or Hexadecimal.
