  • Page 29 AirWorks AWK-3121-RTG Web Console Configuration According to the IEEE 802.11 standard, WEP can be used for authentication and data encryption to maintain confidentiality. Shared (or Shared Key) authentication type is used if WEP authentication and data encryption are both needed. Normally, Open (or Open System) authentication type is used when WEP data encryption is run with authentication.
  • Page 30 AirWorks AWK-3121-RTG Web Console Configuration WPA/WPA2-Personal WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 represent significant improvements over the WEP encryption method. WPA is a security standard based on 802.11i draft 3, while WPA2 is based on the fully ratified version of 802.11i.
  • Page 31 AirWorks AWK-3121-RTG Web Console Configuration WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (For AP mode only) By setting WPA type to Enterprise, you can use EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol), a framework authentication protocol used by 802.1X to provide network authentication. In these Enterprise-level security modes, a back-end RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server is needed if IEEE 802.1X functionality is enabled in WPA /WPA2.
  • Page 32 AirWorks AWK-3121-RTG Web Console Configuration WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (for Client/Slave mode) When used as a client, the AWK-3121-RTG can support three EAP methods (or EAP protocols): EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP, corresponding to WPA/WPA-Enterprise settings on the AP side. Encryption method Setting Description...
  • Page 33 AirWorks AWK-3121-RTG Web Console Configuration EAP-TTLS It is usually much easier to re-use existing authentication systems, such as a Windows domain or Active Directory, LDAP directory, or Kerberos realm, rather than creating a parallel authentication system. As a result, TTLS (Tunneled TLS) and PEAP (Protected EAP) are used to support the use of so-called “legacy authentication methods.”...
  • Page 34: Advanced Wireless Settings

    AirWorks AWK-3121-RTG Web Console Configuration PEAP There are a few differences in the TTLS and PEAP inner authentication procedures.
