Wireless
Security
The access
point supports many different types of security settings
for your network. Wi-Fi Protected Access
WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA2-Mixed, WPA Remote
Access Dial In User Service (WPA-Enterprise), RADIUS,
and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). To learn

Modes |
| WPA-Personal |
There
are two encryption options for WPA-Personal,
TKIP and AES. TKIP stands for
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP utilizes
dynamic keys and incorporates Message Integrity
Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers.
AES stands for Advanced Encryption System, which
utilizes a symmetric 128-Bit block data
encryption. |
| WPA2-Personal
|
WPA2 is the second
generation of WPA security; providing users with a
high level encryption. It utilizes AES
encryption method. |
| WPA2-Mixed |
Select WPA2-Mixed if
you want to use both WPA and WPA2 Personal at the
same time. |
| WPA-Enterprise |
WPA-Enterprise
uses an external RADIUS server in conjunction with
TKIP or AES to perform user authentication. To use
WPA-Enterprise, enter the IP address of the RADIUS
server, the RADIUS Port (default is 1812)
and the shared secret from the RADIUS
server. |
| RADIUS |
RADIUS
utilizes a RADIUS server for authentication and
WEP for data encryption. To utilize RADIUS, enter
the IP address of the RADIUS server and its shared
secret. Select the desired encryption bit (64 or
128) for WEP and enter either a passphrase or a
manual WEP key. |
| WEP |
There
are two levels of WEP encryption, 64-bit and
128-bit. The higher the encryption bit, the more
secure your network, however, speed is sacrificed
at higher bit levels. To utilize WEP, select the
desired encryption bit, and enter a passphrase or
a WEP key in hexadecimal
format. |
