Chapter 25 AP Profile
SSID
The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) is the name that identifies the Service Set with
which a wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access
point (AP) must have the same SSID. In other words, it is the name of the
wireless network that clients use to connect to it.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption scrambles all data packets transmitted
between the AP and the wireless stations associated with it in order to keep
network communications private. Both the wireless stations and the access points
must use the same WEP key for data encryption and decryption.
WPA and WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2
(IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption,
authentication and key management than WPA. Key differences between WPA(2)
and WEP are improved data encryption and user authentication.
IEEE 802.1x
The IEEE 802.1x standard outlines enhanced security methods for both the
authentication of wireless stations and encryption key management.
Authentication is done using an external RADIUS server.

25.2 Radio

This screen allows you to create radio profiles for the APs on your network. A radio
profile is a list of settings that an NWA5160N AP can use to configure either one of
its two radio transmitters. To access this screen click Configuration > Object >
AP Profile.
Note: You can have a maximum of 64 radio profiles on the NXC.
