encryption

You can choose the type of encryption for the selected
key type from this drop down menu.

The following options are available:

WPA (TKIP)

TKIP is the most basic method of encryption in WPA. All
devices that support WPA can use this method.

WPA2 CCMP

WPA2 is an upgraded version of WPA. The method of
encryption is an enhanced version of WPA. WPA2 is how-
ever not supported by all devices.

WPA and WPA2

When this option is selected, your FSG determines which
method to use to connect a device to your FSG.

3.4.6 Wireless ACL

Wireless ALC enables you to filter devices attempting to access your WLANs based on
their MAC address. This method of access filtering is not secure and should only be used
in combination with WPA as many devices allow the user to manually change the MAC
address.

Access list policy

This option allows you to set the connection filter for
WLAN access. This option filters the devices according to
their MAC address and is therefore not secure!
