Configuring Wireless Networks

Security Description
Protocol
WPA-Personal: The WPA-Personal security method (also called WPA-PSK) is a variation of
password WPA-Enterprise that does not require an authentication server. WPA-
authentication, Personal periodically changes and authenticates encryption keys. This is
encryption called rekeying.
This option is recommended for small networks, which want to authenticate
and encrypt wireless data, but do not want to install a RADIUS server.
This security method is not supported for WDS links.
Note: The appliance and the wireless stations must be configured with the
same passphrase.
WPA2 (802.11i) The WPA2 security method uses the more secure Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) cipher, instead of the RC4 cipher used by WPA and WEP.
When using WPA-Enterprise or WPA-Personal security methods, the IP60
appliance enables you to restrict access to the wireless network to wireless
stations that support the WPA2 security method. If this setting is not selected,
the IP60 appliance allows clients to connect using both WPA and WPA2.
This security method is not supported for WDS links.
Note: For increased security, it is recommended to enable the Nokia IP60 internal
VPN Server for users connecting from your internal networks, and to install
SecuRemote/SecureClient on each computer in the wireless network. This ensures
that all connections from the wireless network to the LAN are encrypted and
authenticated. For information, see Internal VPN Server on page 347 and Setting
Up Your Nokia IP60 Appliance as a VPN Server on page 347.
Configuring Wireless Networks
Note: It is recommended to configure wireless networks via Ethernet and not via a
wireless connection, because the wireless connection could be broken after making
a change to the configuration.
Using the Wireless Configuration Wizard
The Wireless Configuration Wizard provides a quick and simple way of setting up your basic primary
WLAN parameters for the first time.
