IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 4.0.2
CRADLEPOINT
Security Mode: You have several options for selecting a security mode. The mode you choose depends on the security
features your wireless adapters support.
 WPA2 Personal
 WPA / WPA2 Personal
 WPA Personal
 WPA2 Enterprise
 WPA / WPA2 Enterprise
 WPA Enterprise
 WEP Auto
 Open
Select "Open" to create a hotspot: otherwise select the best
security that your devices will support (CradlePoint recommends
WPA2).
Depending on which Security Mode you select, there are different
setup options.
 "Personal" security modes require passwords and a "Re-key Interval" (default: 3600 seconds).
 "Enterprise" security modes are linked to a RADIUS server and require RADIUS authentication: IP, Port, and
Shared Key.
 "WPA2" (Personal or Enterprise) forces AES as the WPA Cipher.
 "WPA/WPA2" and "WPA" (Personal or Enterprise) allow AES, TKIP/AES, and TKIP.
 "WEP Auto" requires a WEP Key.
 "Open" has no password or other security measures.
NOTE: If you don't know whether you should choose Personal or Enterprise, assume Personal since you need to know RADIUS authentication for
Enterprise.
In order to protect your network from hackers and unauthorized users, CradlePoint highly recommends WPA2/AES for
security if your attached devices can support it. WEP and WPA/TKIP are obsolete and have been replaced by WPA/AES.
Using those security settings will cause the WiFi to limit to 802.11g modes.
