networks.
– WPA enterprise - commonly used simple method with RADIUS server.
– WPA2-PSK (pre-shared key) - password-protected encrypted network - it can be accessed
by anyone provided they know a pre-shared key and are within range of the signal. Data
transferred is encrypted and cannot be read by third parties without a key. This security
mode is also known as WPA2 Personal.
– WPA2 - this mode is designed for enterprise networks and uses authentication servers. This
security mode is also known as WPA2 Enterprise.

Lock AP MAC - allows the Station to be locked to the specified Access Point (AP) MAC address
(BSSID). The available SSIDs can sometimes be the same for multiple access points. This means that
your board may connect to other WiFi networks with the same name if their signal strength is better. If
you want to avoid this, you should enable the "Lock AP MAC" feature and specify the MAC address of
the desired access point. This address will be automatically entered if you used the SSID Scan feature
to select a network.
Security Mode - select the authentication mode for the access point:
– Open - network doesn't require authentication.
– Opportunistic Wireless Encryption - open network, with individualized encryption.
– WPA personal - uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol for more secure encryption.
– WPA personal - wireless security protocol designed for enterprise wireless networks.
– WPA2 personal - network requires a pre-shared key (Passphrase).
– WPA2 enterprise - network uses advanced security measures. Requires you to enter authenti-
cation details that were provided to you by network administrators.
