Here the end user can select the wireless security mode. Options
available are None, WEP, WPA, WPA2, and 802.1x port-based security.
802.1x is for secure user-based authentication through a centralized
authentication server.
Options here will set the authentication depending on the security
selected above. PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is the default for WPA/WPA2
security. EAP-TTLS and EAP-PEAP are the two authentication methods
for 802.1x security.
NOTE: Operating with 802.1x security will limit link throughput to a
maximum of 54Mb/s.
Options for WPA/WPA2 are TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
which uses the RC4 encryption algorithm and AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard). AES is the default setting and is the
recommended cipher allowing the highest link throughput. TKIP will
limit throughput to a maximum of 54Mb/s.
(For use with WPA security) Here an alpha-numeric between 8 and 63
character long pre-shared key can be entered.
(For use with 802.1x security) identification credential and be entered
here to be used by the WPA supplicant for EAP authentication.
(For use with 802.1x security) Identification credential used by the APA
supplicant for EAP – tunnelled authentication in an unencrypted form.
(For use with 802.1x security) Password credential used by the WPA
supplicant for EAP authentication.
