3Com OfficeConnect WX1200 Release Note page 3

specific EAP protocols or specific RADIUS servers, so
we have only documented the differences in encryp-
tion type. Entries that have both Windows 2000 and
Windows XP listed together have the same results for
both operating systems. A result of Pass indicates suc-
cessful authentication and roaming with the listed
model and operating system. A result of Fail indicates
an inability to successfully complete authentication. A
result of NA (Not Applicable) indicates that the NIC
does not support the listed encryption type. A result
of NT (Not Tested) indicates that the combination has
not been tested yet.
Currently, WPA/CCMP (AES) encryption is supported
only when configured as the only cryptographic type
in service profile. Enabling dynamic WEP or WPA/TKIP
with AES on the same SSID can cause severe connec-
tivity issues as some manufacturers' drivers do not
work properly when both encryption types are
enabled. 3Com recommends that you set up a sepa-
rate service profile for WPA/CCMP with a different
SSID for compatibility. If you are migrating from
Dynamic WEP to WPA/TKIP, 3Com recommends creat-
ing separate service profiles for each encryption type
and migrating users from one SSID to the other when
they are configured to use TKIP.
As new drivers are released by the manufacturers,
3Com expects general compatibility to improve.
