3.3.3 Authentication Combinations
WBSn-2450 allows the following authentication types and combinations.
• The WPA authentication automatically presumes that the basic 802.11 authentication is Open. WPA
defines advanced authentications, either PSK (Pre-Shared Key) or RADIUS. The initial keys are
determined during the last phase of the WPA authentication.
• When RADIUS Authentication is used, the RADIUS server can determine which VLAN belongs to
which user.
Note: WBSn-2450 supports multiple VLAN per VAP.
• Each VAP can have a different RADIUS server configured. This allows for the transportation of several
networks over the same infrastructure of WBSn-2450
3.3.4 Encryption Methods
Legacy 802.11 clients can either connect using the Open authentication (see above), or WEP. In WEP,
the encryption key can be either 40bit or 104bit. In WPA, WBSn-2450 supports TKIP and AES
encryptions.

3.4.1 MAC Access List
