Using WPA-802.1x - Overview

802.1x mode provides greater security and centralized management, but it is more complex to
configure.

Wireless Station Configuration

For each of the following items, each Wireless Station must have the same settings as the
WBR3407.

802.1x
Authentication

Each client must obtain a Certificate which is used for authentication for
the Radius Server.

802.1x
Encryption

Typically, EAP-TLS is used. This is a dynamic key system, so keys do
NOT have to be entered on each Wireless station.

Radius Server Configuration

If using WPA-802.1x mode, the Radius Server on your network must be configured as follow:
• It must provide and accept Certificates for user authentication.
• There must be a Client Login for the WBR3407 itself.

• The WBR3407 will use its Default Name as its Client Login name.
• The Shared Key, set on the Security Screen of the Access Point, must match the

Shared Secret value on the Radius Server.

Encryption settings must be correct.
