Nortel 120 Using Manual page 103

Authentication Setup—To use WPA or WPA2, set the access point to one
of the following options. If a WPA/WPA2 mode that operates over 802.1X
is selected (WPA, WPA2, or WPA-WPA2-mixed), the 802.1X settings and
RADIUS server details need to be configured. Be sure you have also
configured a RADIUS server on the network before enabling authentication.
If a WPA/WPA2 Preshared Key mode is selected (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or
WPA-WPA2 PSK-Mixed), be sure to specify the key string.

multicast and broadcast traffic, which is supported by all wireless clients.
