authentication and data encryption. Also, be sure that the WEP
shared keys are the same for each client in the wireless network.
Authentication Type Setup – Sets the access point to
communicate as an open system that accepts network access
attempts from any client, or with clients using pre-configured
static shared keys.
•
Open System: Select this option if you plan to use WPA or
802.1X as a security mechanism. If you don't set up any other
security mechanism on the access point, the network has no
protection and is open to all users. This is the default setting.
•
Shared Key: Sets the access point to use WEP shared keys.
If this option is selected, you must configure at least one key
on the access point and all clients.
Note: To use 802.1X on wireless clients requires a network card driver
and 802.1X client software that supports the EAP authentication
type that you want to use. Windows 2000 SP3 or later and
Windows XP provide 802.1X client support. Windows XP also
provides native WPA support. Other systems require additional
client software to support 802.1X and WPA.
Data Encryption Setup – Enable or disable the access point to
use WEP shared keys for data encryption. If this option is
selected, you must configure at least one key on the access point
and all clients. (Default: Disable)
Note: You must enable data encryption through the web or CLI in order
to enable all types of encryption (WEP, TKIP, and AES) in the
access point.
