Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet
RADIUS
This security mode is also known as Dynamic WEP with IEEE 802.1X. The RADIUS server is used for client
authentication and WEP is used for data encryption. The WEP key is automatically generated by the RADIUS
server. A manual WEP key is no longer compatible with Microsoft Windows implementation (due to its weak
authentication capability).
RADIUS Server IP Address. Enter the RADIUS server's IP address.
RADIUS Server Port. Enter the port number used by the RADIUS server. The default is 1812.
Shared Secret. Enter the Shared Secret key used by the Access Point and RADIUS server.
WEP
This security mode is defined in the original IEEE 802.11. This mode is not recommended now due to its weak
security protection. Users are urged to migrate to WPA or WPA2.
