WPA / WPA2 RADIUS Authentication

ƒ Encryption: Select WPA or WPA2 from the drop-down list if your wireless network

the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed

to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. WPA

provides improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP),

which scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity

checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t been tampered with.

ƒ WPA Authentication Mode: Select the Enterprise (RADIUS) radio button.

ƒ WPA/WPA2: Select TKIP or AES as the cipher suite.

ƒ RADIUS Port: Enter the port number of the RADIUS server. The default is usually

automatically restart once these changes have been applied.

Distribution

System

• Wireless Distribution System uses wireless media to communicate with other APs, like

the Ethernet does. To do this, you must set these APs in the same channel and set MAC

address of other APs which you want to communicate with in the table and then enable

the WDS.
