.
Note: Key index and type must match that configured on the clients.
In a mixed-mode environment with clients using static WEP keys and
WPA, select WEP transmit key index 2, 3, or 4. The access point uses
transmit key index 1 for the generation of dynamic keys.
Open System: If you do not set up any other security mechanism on the
access point, the network has no protection and is open to all users.
This is the default setting.
Shared Key: Sets the access point to use WEP shared keys. If this
option is selected, you must configure at least one key on the access
point and all clients.
Note: To use 802.1X on wireless clients requires a network card driver
and 802.1X client software that supports the EAP authentication type
that you want to use. Windows 2000 SP3 or later and Windows XP
provide 802.1X client support. Windows XP also provides native WPA
support. Other systems require additional client software to support
802.1X and WPA.
