Chapter 8 Application Table 112 AP Manager > AP Profile > Add/Edit (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Security Select None to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without any data encryption or authentication. Select WPA to configure and enable WPA or WPA-PSK authentication and encryption. Select WPA2 to configure and enable WPA2 or WPA2-PSK authentication and encryption. Select WPA/WPA2 to have both WPA2 and WPA wireless clients be able to communicate with the ENC even when the ENC is using WPA2 or WPA2-PSK. Select WEP to configure and enable WEP encryption. The following fields are available if you select WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2 in the Security field. Group Key Enter the rate at which the wireless AP or the RADIUS server sends a new group key out to Update Timer all clients. Use WPA with Select this option if you do not have a RADIUS server in your network and want to use a Pre-shared Key pre-shared key WPA or WPA2. Pre-shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials. Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols). Use WPA with Select this option if you have a RADIUS server in your network and want to use it for user RADIUS Server authentication and encryption. Server IP Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal notation. Authenticatio Enter the port number of the external authentication server. The default port number is n Port 1812. Shared Secret Key You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so with additional information. Enter a password (from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters) as the key to be shared between the external authentication server and the ENC. The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your wireless AP. The key is not sent over the network. The following fields are available if you select WEP in the Security field. Encryption Select to use 64 Bit or 128 Bit WEP key(s) for excrypting wireless packets. Mode Select HEX to enter hexadecimal characters as a WEP key. WEP Key Select ASCII to enter ASCII characters as WEP key. The WEP keys are used to secure your data from eavesdropping by unauthorized wireless users. Both the wireless AP and wireless clients must use the same WEP key for data transmission. If you chose 64 Bit in the Encryption field, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for each key. If you chose 128 Bit in the Encryption field, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for each key. You must configure all four keys. Only one key can be activated at any one time. Select a default key to use for data encryption. 232 ENC User's Guide
