4.3.1 Auth.\Encry. Setting-WEP/TKIP/AES

Figure 3-1 Auth.\Encry. Settings

Authentication Type: There are 7 authentication modes supported by RaUI. They are open, Shared,

LEAP, WPA and WPA-PSK, WPA2 and WPA2-PSK.

Encryption Type: For open and shared authentication mode, the available encryption types are None

and WEP. For WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSKauthentication mode, the encryption type

supports both TKIP and AES.

8021X: This is introduced in the topic of Section 3-2.

WPA Pre-shared Key: This is the shared key between the AP and STA. If operating in WPA-PSK

and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, this field must be filled with a key between 8 and 32

characters in length.

WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. The key must match the AP's key.

There are several formats to enter the keys.

Hexadecimal - 40bits: 10 Hex characters.

Hexadecimal - 128bits: 32Hex characters.

ASCII - 40bits: 5 ASCII characters.

ASCII - 128bits: 13 ASCII characters.

4.3.2 802.1x Setting

802.1x is used for authentication of the "WPA" and "WPA2" certificate by the server.

Authentication type:

PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely authenticates data by

using tunneling between PEAP clients and an authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless

LAN clients using only server-side certificates, thus simplifying the implementation and

administration of a secure wireless LAN.

TLS/Smart Card: Transport Layer Security. Provides for certificate-based and mutual authentication

of the client and the network. It relies on client-side and server-side certificates to perform
