17. Set the following WLAN1 Configuration parameters:
• SSID - Configure the SSID for the WLAN.
• WLAN Type - Configure encryption and authentication settings
to protect the data and user integrity of WLAN 1.
• No Authentication and No Encryption - Configures a network
without any user authentication or data encryption. This means any
data transmitted through the network is in plain text. Any device
between end points can see the information transmitted. This is the
least secure of all network configurations.
• Captive Portal Authentication and No Encryption - Uses a
RADIUS server to authenticate users before allowing them on to the
network. Once on the network, no encryption is used for the data
transmitted through the network. Select this option to use a Web
page (either internally or externally hosted) to authenticate users
before access is granted to the network.
• PSK authentication, WPA2 encryption - Configures a network
that uses PSK authentication and WPA2 encryption. Select this
option to implement a pre-shared key that must be correctly shared
between the Access Point and requesting clients.
18. Select Next. The Typical Setup Wizard displays the RADIUS Server
Configuration screen if required.
Otherwise, the Typical Setup Wizard displays the Summary and
Commit screen.
