802.1X mode

Can only be enabled when the ESS
Authorization is set to Open or PSK and either
WEP64 or WEP128 is selected (see the
Encryption Status field). During the
Authentication process, the server verifies the
identity of the client attempting to connect to
the network. When WPA-PSK is selected in the
ESS Authentication field, this option is
automatically selected.

feature. When enabled, Dynamic Key
generation occurs, meaning a key is
automatically generated when the client
requests one.
