Security Settings - LevelOne WAP-6011 User Manual

Wireless Access Point User Guide

Security Settings

Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected method.
The available options are:

None - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network.

WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption
system is not very strong.

WPA-PSK - Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than
WEP, and should be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each
Wireless station. The 256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes fre-
quently.

WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security,
using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.

802.1x - This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data encryp-
tion.
If this option is selected:

This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.

Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.

Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when re-
quired.

All data transmission is encrypted using the WEP standard. You only have to select
the WEP key size; the WEP key is automatically generated.
