Configuring IEEE 802.1x Security On A Client
Click OK on the Wireless Network Properties dialog to close it and save your changes.
Connecting To The Wireless Network With A Static WEP Client
Static WEP clients should now be able to associate and authenticate with the access
point. As a client, you will not be prompted for a WEP key. The WEP key config-
ured on the client security settings is automatically used when you connect.
C.6 Configuring IEEE 802.1x Security On A Client
IEEE 802.1x is the standard defining port-based authentication and infrastructure for
doing key management. Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) messages are
sent over an IEEE 802.11 wireless network using a protocol called EAP Encapsula-
tion Over LANs (EAPOL). IEEE 802.1x provides dynamically-generated keys that
are periodically refreshed. An RC4 stream cipher is used to encrypt the frame body
and cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) of each 802.11 frame.
C.6.1 IEEE 802.1x Client Using EAP/PEAP
The Built-In Authentication Server on the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway uses Pro-
tected Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) referred to here as “EAP/PEAP”.
• If you are using the Built-in Authentication server with “IEEE 802.1x”
security mode on the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway, then you will need to set
up wireless clients to use PEAP.
• Additionally, you may have an external RADIUS server that uses
EAP/PEAP. If so, you will need to:
(1) Add the 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway to the list of RADIUS server cli-

Enable IEEE 802.1x authentica-
tion for this network Make sure that IEEE 802.1x authentication is disabled (box should be unchecked).
(Setting the encryption mode to WEP should automatically disable authentication.)
