HITRON CGN USER'S GUIDE
Select the authentication mode that you want to use:
Select Open System to allow wireless clients to
authenticate (identify themselves) to the CGN before
presenting their security credentials (WEP keys).
Select Shared Key to use the WEP key in the
authentication process. When a client wants to
associate, the CGN sends an unencrypted challenge
message. The client must use the WEP key to
encrypt the challenge message and return it to the
CGN, which then decrypts the message and
compares the result with its original message.
Open System authentication is the more secure of the
two authentication types, since while the Shared Key
system appears more robust, it is possible to derive
secure data by capturing the challenge messages.
Select Automatic to have the CGN choose the
authentication method.
Select the type of WPA security that you want to use:
Select WPA-PSK to use Wifi Protected Access (Pre-
Shared Key) mode
Select WPA2-PSK to use Wifi Protected Access 2
(Pre-Shared Key) mode
Select Auto (WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK) to allow
clients operating in either mode to connect to the
CGN.
Select the type of encryption that you want to use:
Select TKIP to use the Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol.
Select AES to use the Advanced Encryption
Standard.
Select TKIP and AES to allow clients using either
encryption type to connect to the CGN.
