3 In Profile Name, type a unique name to assign to the profile.
4 In SSID, type a name that will identify the Access Point on the wireless
network.
5 In Wireless Security System, click an encryption method for securing data
that is transmitted on the wireless network. Available options include:
None – Data encryption is disabled
■
WEP – A 64 bit or 128 bit encryption method with user configurable
■
fixed keys
WPA-PSK – A 256 bit encryption method that requires users to enter a
■
pre-shared key (PSK). It uses an encryption key, which changes over
time, derived from the PSK.
WPA-802.1x – Similar to WPA, but requires a RADIUS server on the
■
network to perform client authentication based on the 802.1x
standard. If your network supports both encryption and
authentication methods, 3Com recommends using this method.
