Appendix C - PC and Server Configuration

Overview

All wireless stations need to have settings that match the wireless access point. These settings
depend on the mode in which the access point is being used.
• If using WEP or WPA2-PSK, it is only necessary to ensure that each wireless station's
settings match those of the wireless access point, as described below.
• For 802.1x modes, configuration is much more complex. The RADIUS server must be
configured correctly, and setup of each wireless station is also more complex.
