Mac-Address-Based Access Control - SMC Networks EliteConnect SMCWHSG44-G User Manual

NOTE: The number of characters of the Pre-shared key setting must be at
least 8 and can be up to 63.
• IEEE 802.1x EAP without Encryption (EAP-MD5). The IEEE 802.1x
functionality is enabled and the user-name/password-based EAP-MD5
authentication is used. No data encryption.
• IEEE 802.1x EAP with Static WEP (EAP-MD5). The IEEE 802.1x
functionality is enabled and the user-name/password-based EAP-MD5
authentication is used. Data encryption is achieved by static WEP.
• IEEE 802.1x EAP with Dynamic WEP (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP). The
IEEE 802.1x functionality is enabled and dynamic WEP key distribution
authentication (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, or PEAP) is used. Data encryption
is achieved by dynamic WEP.
• IEEE 802.1x EAP with Dynamic TKIP (WPA). This is a full WPA mode, in
which both the TKIP and IEEE 802.1x dynamic key exchange mechanisms
are enabled. The SMCWHSG44-G is highly secure in this mode.
In the above security modes, a back-end RADIUS (Remote Authentication
Dial-In User Service) server is needed if IEEE 802.1x functionality is enabled.
According to the IEEE 802.11 standard, WEP can be used for authentication
and data encryption. Normally, Shared Key authentication is used if WEP
data encryption is enabled. In rare cases, Open System authentication may
be used when WEP data encryption is enabled. The Authentication algo-
rithm setting is provided for better compatibility with wireless client com-
puters with various WLAN network adapters. There are three options avail-
able, including Open System, Shared Key, and Auto.
When WEP is enabled by a security mode, the Key length can be specified to
be 64 Bits or 128 Bits. The Selected key setting specifies the key to be used
as a send-key for encrypting traffic from the local device side to the remote
device side. All 4 WEP keys are used as receive-keys to decrypt traffic from
the remote device side to the local device side.
NOTE: Each field of a WEP key setting is a hex-decimal number from 0-9,
A-F. For example, when the security mode is Static WEP and the key length
is 64 Bits, you could set Key 1 to "00012E3ADF".
