Wireless Access Point User Guide • WPA-PSK - Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station. The 256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes frequently. • WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption. • WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK - This method, sometimes called "Mixed Mode", allows clients to use EITHER WPA-PSK (with TKIP) OR WPA2-PSK (with AES). • WPA with Radius - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard. If this option is selected: • This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. • Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server. • Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required. • All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically generated, so no key input is required. • WPA2 with Radius - This version of WPA2 requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA2 standard. If this option is selected: • This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. • Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using digital certificates. • Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius authentication data when required. • All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA2 standard. Keys are automatically generated, so no key input is required. • WPA and WPA2 with Radius - EITHER WPA or WPA2 require a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using EITHER WPA or WPA2 standard. If this option is selected: • This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. • Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using digital certificates. • Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius authentication data when required. • All data transmission is encrypted using EITHER WPA or WPA2 standard. Keys are automatically generated, so no key input is required. • 802.1x - This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data encryption. If this option is selected: • This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. • Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server. • Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required. 20
