Basic Requirements for WPA

WPA requires these elements:

A WPA enabled wireless adapter with WPA client software such as the WAG511.

A WPA enabled wireless access point.

WPA enabled RADIUS server with an optional Certificate Server.

•

For the EAP-TLS option, you need a Certificate Authority (CA) such as Windows 2000

server or a public service such as Verisign. Both the RADIUS server and the client need to

have a certificate from a certificate server.

•

For the EAP-PEAP option, you need a RADIUS server and a certificate server. The

RADIUS server needs to have a certificate installed from a certificate server. The client

can dynamically download the certificate from the certificate server. However, depending

on how your network is set up, Windows Domain Controller or Active Directory login

credentials can be used for authentication.

Fill in the worksheet and use the procedure below to configure the WPA settings of your WAG511.
