WPA-802.1x
WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the
client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using
the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:
• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.
• All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically gener-
ated, so no key input is required.
802.1x
• This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data encryption. If
possible, you should use WPA-802.1x instead, because WPA encryption is much stronger
than WEP encryption.
• If this option is selected:
• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.
• All data transmission is encrypted using the WEP standard. You only have to select the
WEP key size; the WEP key is automatically generated.
