WPA runs in Enterprise (802.1x) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared
Key) mode:
• In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using
802.1x and the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).
That is, an authentication server (such as a RADIUS server)
must authenticate each device before the device can
communicate with the wireless network.
• In PSK mode, WPA provides user authentication using a
shared key between the authenticator and the CK31G. WPA-
PSK is a good solution for small offices or home offices that
do not want to use an authentication server.
To use WPA security, you need:
• An authentication server (Enterprise mode only)
Note: You can also use a MobileLAN access point with
software release 1.80 or later as an authentication server. For
help, see the MobileLAN access WA2XG System Manual (P/N
074921).
• An access point with an 802.11b/g radio that supports WPA
• CK31G with the 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA
security option
