DESCRIPTION
Select Auto and a channel set (1, 6, 11 or 1, 4, 7, 11 or 1, 5, 9, 13) if you want
the AP automatically switches a channel within the channel set when the original
channel has problems with wireless interference. Alternatively, select Manual and
a specific channel if you want to fix the channel.
Set the output power this wireless AP profile uses. If there is a high density of APs
in an area, decrease the output power of the ENC to reduce interference with other
APs. Select one of the following 100%, 50% or 25%.
Select Use device's display name as system name to configure an wireless
AP's system name as its display name in the ENC when you apply this profile to the
device. Alternatively, select Customized and enter a name to configure the
device's system name as the specified name.
Select None to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points
without any data encryption or authentication.
Select WPA to configure and enable WPA or WPA-PSK authentication and
encryption.
Select WPA2 to configure and enable WPA2 or WPA2-PSK authentication and
encryption.
Select WPA/WPA2 to have both WPA2 and WPA wireless clients be able to
communicate with the ENC even when the ENC is using WPA2 or WPA2-PSK.
Select WEP to configure and enable WEP encryption.
Enter the rate at which the wireless AP or the RADIUS server sends a new group
key out to all clients.
Select this option if you do not have a RADIUS server in your network and want to
use a pre-shared key WPA or WPA2.
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are the same. The
only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK uses a simple common
password, instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including
spaces and symbols).
Select this option if you have a RADIUS server in your network and want to use it
for user authentication and encryption.
Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal
notation.
Enter the port number of the external authentication server. The default port
number is 1812.
You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to
do so with additional information.
Enter a password (from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters) as the key to be
shared between the external authentication server and the ENC.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your wireless
AP. The key is not sent over the network.
Select to use 64 Bit or 128 Bit WEP key(s) for excrypting wireless packets.
Select HEX to enter hexadecimal characters as a WEP key.
Select ASCII to enter ASCII characters as WEP key.
