Authentication
You can set the following options in the Authentication Type box:
● Open System
There is no authentication.
● Shared Key
WEP authentication with keys stored on the device. In this case, you must
specify four master keys in the Keys menu.
● WPA (Radius)
WPA authentication over an external RADIUS server.
To use this scheme, you must provide information on the authentication server
in the RADIUS Server menu.
● WPA-PSK
WPA authentication without Radius server.
● 802.1x
Port-related access control with a Radius server. Two ports are assigned to one
physical interface. One port is freely accessible and can be used for authentica-
tion, the other port is only accessible after successful authentication.
To use this scheme, you must provide information on the authentication server
in the RADIUS Server menu.

selected Open System for the authentication. All other security methods include
both authentication and encryption.

lowing alternatives in the Cipher box:
