Understanding WEP/WPA Security Options

The table below identifies the various WEP/WPA security options. A full explanation of these

standards is available in Appendix B, “Wireless Networking Basics”.

Figure 3-9: Wireless Security Settings

The WEP/WPA settings are explained as follows:

• Network Authentication: Specifies the Authentication type used. The default is Open

System. Select the desired option:

– Open System: If selected, you have the option of using WEP encryption, or no

encryption.

– Shared Key: If selected, you must use WEP; at least one shared key must be entered.

– Legacy 802.1x: If selected, you must configure the Radius Server Settings Screen.

– WPA-PSK: If selected, you must use TKIP encryption, and enter the WPA passphrase

(Network key).

– WPA with Radius: If selected, you must configure the Radius Server Settings Screen.

– WPA2-PSK: WPA2 is a later version of WPA. Only select this if all clients support

WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption, and enter the WPA passphrase

(Network key).
