To do the following . . .
Set the Security method applied to the SSID using the
drop-down menu. This includes:
• None - No security. This is the default.
• Dot1x - 802.1x authentication requires a RADIUS
server. 802.1x enhances the security of wireless LANs
using the IEEE 802.11 standard. 802.1x provides an
authentication framework for wireless LANs, allowing
a user to be authenticated by a central authority
(RADIUS server).
• WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encrypts the
data portion of each packet exchanged on an 802.11
network using an encryption key.
• WPA - WiFi Protected Access (WPA) is a replacement
for WEP that provides the following:
• Improved packet encryption using the Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and the Michael Message
Integrity Check (MIC).
• Per user, per session dynamic encryption keys.
• Dynamic key redistrbution.
• Client/server mutual authentication.
• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key): For networks that do
not have 802.1x implemented, you can configure the
W310 to authenticate clients based on a Pre-Shared
Key.
Note: For details on each security mode, see
Authentication and Encryption Modes.
Set broadcast for an SSID using the drop-down menu.
• When enabled and when the parameter Closed System
is set to disabled, the SSID is included in the beacon
broadcast.
• When disabled (default), the SSID is not included in
the beacon broadcast.
Only one SSID per domain can be included in the beacon.
This means you can enable broadcast for one SSID only
per W310.
