This parameter sets the authentication mode .
“Open” means setting the authentication mode to open-system authentication. Under this
mode, stations can associate to the MB8000 freely.
“Shared” means setting the authentication mode to shared-secret authentication. Under
this mode, stations can associate to the MB8000 with the proper WEP keys.
“802.1x Only (Non-WPA)” means that the MB8000 uses IEEE 802.1x to perform the
authentication. Stations which failed to pass the 802.1x authentication will be denied to
access the MB8000.
“802.1x and WEP (Non-WPA)”
means that the stations which success in either the WEP
authentication or 802.1x authentication will be allowed to access the MB8000.
“WPA”
means that the MB8000 uses WPA with the backend authentication sever to
authenticate the stations.
“WPA Pre-Shared Key”
means that the MB8000 uses WPA authentication with the
