You must check the Monitor Privacy Settings checkbox to activate the functions. The functions are:
Function Description
Base 802.11 Authentication Open - When this checkbox is selected, open system authentication
does not actually provide authentication; it only performs identity
verification through the exchange of two messages between the
initiator (Wireless Client) and the receiver (wireless ).
Shared - When selected, shared key authentication provides
authentication by verifying that an initiator has knowledge of a
shared secret. Under the 802.11 standard, it is assumed that the
shared secret is sent to the wireless over a secure channel that is
independent of 802.11. In practice, the shared key authentication
secret is manually distributed and typed.
Extended 802.11 Authentication WPA - Select to activate Wi-Fi Protected Access, which uses
improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity
protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm
and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys
haven't been tampered with.
WPA2 - Short for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2, this checkbox enables
the follow on security method to WPA for wireless networks that
provide stronger data protection and network access control. It
provides enterprise and consumer Wi-Fi users with a high level of
assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless
networks. Based on the IEEE 802.11i standard, WPA2 provides
government grade security by implementing the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS 140-2 compliant AES
encryption algorithm and 802.1x-based authentication.
Symbol KeyGuard - When this checkbox is selected, it activates
Symbol KeyGuard authentication protocols, which is provided by
Symbol.
Advanced Key Generation PSK (preshared key) - When selected, it activates the Pre-
shared Key authentication.
802.1x EAP-FAST - When selected, it keys 802.1X EAP Flexible
Authentication via Secure Tunneling.
802.1x EAP-TLS - When selected, it keys EAP Transport Level
Security.
802.1x EAP-TTLS - When selected, it keys EAP Tunneled
Transport Layer Security.
802.1x EAP-GTC - When selected, it keys EAP Generic Token
Card.
802.1x RSA/PKA - When selected, it keys EAP RSA Public Key
Authentication Protocol.
802.1x RSA/SID - When selected, it keys EAP RSA SecurID.
802.1x PEAP - When selected, it keys any 802.1X Protected
Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP).
802.1x LEAP - When selected, it keys EAP Lightweight
Extensible Authentication Protocol.
802.1x Other EAP - Keys any 802.1x EAP authentication/key
distribution mechanism other than the types previously mentioned.
