Configuring privacy for a WM-AD

Privacy is a mechanism that protects data over wireless and wired networks, usually by encryption
techniques. The following section describes how the Privacy mechanism is handled for a Captive Portal
WM-AD and an AAA WM-AD.
NOTE
Regardless of the Altitude AP model or WM-AD type, a maximum of 112 simultaneous clients, per radio, are
supported by all of the data protection encryption techniques listed below.

Privacy for a WM-AD for Captive Portal

For the Captive Portal WM-AD, there are three options for the privacy mechanism:
None
Static Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) - Keys for a selected WM-AD, so that it matches the WEP
mechanism used on the rest of the network. Each radio can support up to eight SSIDs (16 SSIDs per
AP). Each AP can participate in up to 50 WM-ADs. For each WM-AD, only one WEP key can be
specified. It is treated as the first key in a list of WEP keys.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Pre-Shared key (PSK) - Privacy in PSK mode, using a Pre-Shared
Key (PSK), or shared secret for authentication. WPA-PSK is a security solution that adds
authentication to enhanced WEP encryption and key management. WPA-PSK mode does not require
an authentication server. It is suitable for home or small office.
Altitude 802.11n APs and WPA authentication
If a WM-AD is configured to use WPA authentication, any Altitude 802.11n AP within that WM-AD will
do the following:
WPA v.1 - If WPA v.1 is enabled, the Altitude 802.11n AP will advertise only TKIP as an available
encryption protocol.
WPA v.2 - If WPA v.2 is enabled, the Altitude 802.11n AP will do the following:
If WPA v.1 is enabled, the Altitude 802.11n AP will advertise TKIP as an available encryption
protocol.
NOTE
If WPA v.2 is enabled, the Wireless 802.11n AP does not support the Auto option.
