WLAN Security Settings
The AWK-4121 provides four standardized wireless security modes: Open, WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2. Several types of security models
are available in AWK-4121 by selecting Security mode and WPA type:
y Open: No authentication, no data encryption.
y WEP: Static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) keys must be manually configured.
y WPA/WPA2-Personal: Also known as WPA/WPA2-PSK. You need to specify the Pre-Shared
Key in the Passphrase field, which will be used by the TKIP or AES engine as a master key to
generate keys that actually encrypt outgoing packets and decrypt incoming packets.
y WPA/WPA2-Enterprise: Also called WPA/WPA2-EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
In addition to device-based authentication, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise enables user-based
authentication via IEEE802.1X. The AWK-4121 can support three EAP methods: EAP-TLS,
EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP.
