Wpa-Psk; Wpa-802.1X; 123 - 3Com 3CRGPC10075 User Manual

WPA-PSK

Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure
than WEP, and should be used if possible. The PSK (pre-shared key) must
be entered on each wireless station. The 256Bit encryption key is derived
from the PSK, and changes frequently.

WPA-802.1x

This version of WPA requires a RADIUS Server on the local network to
provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data
transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard.
If this option is used:
The Access Point must have a client logon account on the RADIUS
■
server.
Each user must have a user logon account on the RADIUS server.
■
Each wireless station must support 802.1x and provide the logon data
■
when required.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are
■
automatically generated, so no key input is required.
802.1x This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data
encryption. If possible, you should use WPA-802.1x instead, because
WPA encryption is much stronger than WEP encryption.
If this option is used:
The Access Point must have a "client login" on the RADIUS server.
■
Each user must have a user logon account on the RADIUS server.
■
Each wireless station must support 802.1x and provide the logon data
■
when required.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WEP standard. You only
■
have to select the WEP key size; the WEP key is automatically
generated.
