Chapter 3 — Configuring the CV30
44 CV30 Fixed Mount Computer User’s Manual
Using LEAP Security
Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP), also
known as Cisco-Wireless EAP, provides username/password-
based authentication between a wireless client and a RADIUS
server. In the 802.1x framework, traffic cannot pass through an
Ethernet hub or wireless network access point until it successfully
authenticates itself.
The station must identify itself and prove that it is an authorized
user before it is actually allowed to use the LAN. LEAP also
delivers a session key to the authenticated station, so that future
frames can be encrypted with a key that is different than keys
used by other sessions.
To use LEAP security, you need:
• a RADIUS server.
• Cisco access points.
LEAP security is not supported with Microsoft security.
Using Static WEP Security
The CV30 uses the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol to
add security to your wireless network based on the 802.11b
standard.
To use WEP security, you need:
• a CV30 with an 802.11b/g radio.
• an access point with an 802.11b/g radio.
Choosing Between Funk and Microsoft Security
The CV30 provides both Funk and Microsoft security choices.
Funk security is the default setting. Use the following sections to
set security using either Funk or Microsoft as your security
choice. Both security choices offer similar features, but Funk
security also offers these features:
• CCX v2.0 compliance
• Support for LEAP, TTLS, and FAST
• Configuration of up to four profiles
