Configuring a WLAN
For more information on WPA/WPA2 encryption, see the introduction to
“Configuring WPA/WPA2 with 802.1X” on page 4-54. To configure WPA/WPA-
PSK on a WLAN complete these steps:
1. Access the Edit screen for the WLAN that is to use WPA/WPA2-PSK:
a. Select Network Setup > WLAN Setup and click the Configuration tab.
b. Select the WLAN and click the Edit button. The Edit screen is displayed.
(See Figure 4-30.)
2. Under Authentication, select No Authentication.
3. Under Encryption, select your encryption protocol:
• To use TKIP, check the WPA/WPA2-TKIP box.
The Wireless Edge Services zl Module and wireless stations will use
TKIP for all encryption. Note that both WPA and WPA2 stations can
connect, but WPA2 stations will use TKIP.
• To use AES, check the WPA2-AES box.
This option forces all wireless stations to use AES, the most secure
algorithm used for wireless encryption.
• To allow both protocols (mixed-mode), check both boxes.
4. Specify the preshared key that users must enter to connect to the WLAN.
a. Click the Config button next to the WPA encryption options. The WPA/
WPA2 screen is displayed.
