ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP320 Reference Manual
The wireless access point is set by default as an open system with no authentication.
When you configure network authentication, bear in mind the following:
If you are
using access point mode (which is the default mode if you did not enable
wireless bridging), then all options are available. In other modes such as bridge
mode, some options might be unavailable.
Not all wireless adap
ters support WPA or WPA2. Windows XP, Windows 2000 with
Service Pack 3, and Windows Vista do include the client software that supports WPA.
However, client software is required on the client. Consult the product documentation
for your wireless adapter and WPA or WPA2 client software for instructions on
configuring WPA2 settings.
