Section 3 - Conguration
Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Enterprise
WPA-Enterprise is a more sophisticated level of wireless security which requires a RADIUS Authentication Server. This form of security is used
primarily in medium to large-scale network environments.
The following parameters will be available for conguration:
WPA Mode: WPA is an older standard; select this option if the clients
that will be used with the router only support this standard.
WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger IEEE
802.11i security standard. Select Auto (WPA or WPA2) to
have the security set automatically depending on the com-
patibility of connected clients. With the WPA2 option, the
router tries WPA2 rst, but falls back to WPA if the client only
supports WPA. With the WPA2 Only option, the router asso-
ciates only with clients that also support WPA2 security.
Cipher Type: Select the appropriate cipher type to use here. Options to
choose from are Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP),
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and Both (TKIP and
AES).
Group Key Update
Interval:
Enter the amount of time before the group key used for
broadcast and multicast data is changed.
Authentication
Timeout:
Species the amount of time before a client will be required
to re-authenticate.
RADIUS Server IP
Address:
When the user chooses to use the EAP authentication frame-
work, the RADIUS server’s IP address can be entered here.
RADIUS Server Port: When you can choose to use the EAP authentication framework,
the RADIUS server’s port number can be entered here.
RADIUS Server Shared
Secret:
Enter the shared secret (password) used here. This password
needs to be the same on all of the wireless clients for them to
be able to connect to the wireless network successfully.
