Web: Using the Security Wizard

The Security Suite window on the Security tab provides wireless security
configuration for the access point using a "wizard." The security wizard offers
a choice of eight options. Six of the options cover the most common security
configurations possible for the access point, one is for no security, and one is
for manual configuration of other security settings using the CLI.
Basic parameters required for a security option configuration are provided in
the window, all other access point settings are made automatically. Three
options require a RADIUS server to be configured. A link to the Auth. Servers
window is provided where RADIUS server parameters and 802.1X key refresh
rates can be configured.
The security wizard provides these options:
No Security: The access point is configured as an open system with no
■
user authentication or data encryption. This is the default setting.
