Security Type and Encryption - Select the encryption option (either None,
WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, or WPA2-Enterprise) to be used
for this wireless communication link (If a WPA option is selected, TKIP and CCMP
encryption is supported; if a WPA2 option is selected, CCMP encryption is supported).
None - Select None if encryption is not required.
WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal - Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2)
Personal encryption is designed to improve upon the security features of WEP but is
still designed for home and small office networks that do not require the complexity of
an authentication server (WPA2 provides more security than WPA).
WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise - Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2)
Enterprise encryption is designed to improve upon the security features of WEP but
also verifies network users through an authentication server (WPA2 provides more
security than WPA; WPA2 is backward compatible with WPA).
WEP Key or WPA Key - If either box is active (depending on Encryption option), enter
the key according to your Encryption selection. The selected key is used to encrypt/
decrypt each frame transmitted from or received by the wireless adapter. The access
point must recognize frames encrypted by the same key. Keys can be 5 or 13
characters for the 64 or 128 bit encryption key, or specified as 10 or 26 hex-decimal
digits.
Enable IEEEE 802.1x authentication - Select this check box to enable this
authentication and activate the EAP Type list of options.
EAP Type - If you have enabled the Enable IEEEE 802.1x authentication check box,
select the EAP Type option you want (TLS, LEAP, or PEAP).
TLS - If you select the TLS option, click Properties to open and configure the
Authentication Properties dialog box (you can use Browse to find and select the
Client Certificate file and Private Key file you want). Note that the CA certificate must
be installed on the thin client.
LEAP - If you select the LEAP option, click Properties to open and configure the
Authentication Properties dialog box (be sure to use the correct Username and
Password for authentication). Note that the maximum length for the username or the
password is 64 characters.
PEAP - If you select the PEAP option, click Properties to open and configure the
Authentication Properties dialog box (be sure to select either EAP_GTC or
EAP_MSCHAPv2, and then use the correct Username, Password, and Domain, if
necessary, for authentication). To configure EAP-GTC, enter the username only, and
the password or PIN will be asked when authenticating. To configure EAP-MSCHAPv2,
enter the username, password, and domain (domain\username in the username box is
supported, but you must leave the domain box blank). Note that the CA certificate must
be installed on the thin client (the server certificate is forced to be validated).
