• Captive Portal Authentication and No Encryption - Select this option to use a Web page (either
internally or externally hosted) to authenticate users before access is granted to the network. If
using this option, define whether a local or external RADIUS authentication resource is used.
• PSK Authentication and WPA2 Encryption - Select the option to implement a pre-shared key that
must be correctly shared between the access point and requesting clients using this WLAN. If using
this option, specify a WPA key in either ASCII (8-63 characters) or HEX (64 characters) format.
• EAP Authentication and WPA2 Encryption - Select this option to authenticate clients within this
WLAN through the exchange and verification of certificates. If using this option, define whether a

• WPA Key - If a WPA key is required (PSK Authentication and WPA2 Encryption), enter an alphanumeric
string of 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 64 HEX characters as the primary string both transmitting and
receiving authenticators must share. The alphanumeric string allows character spaces. This
passphrase saves the administrator from entering the 256-bit key each time keys are generated.
