3. Basic Configuration
802.1x allows users to leverage a RADIUS server to do association authentications. You
can also enable dynamic WEP key (128 bit) to have data encryption. Here you do not have
to enter the WEP key manually because it will be generated automatically and dynamically.
Rekey interval is time period that the system will change the key periodically. The shorter
the interval is, the better the security is.
After you have finished the configuration wizard, you have to
configure the RADIUS Settings in Advanced Settings in order to make
the 802.1x function work.
WPA
Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings >>Select Security Policy>>WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) requires a RADIUS server available in order to do
authentication (same as 802.1x), thus there is no shared key required.
Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While CCMP
provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be equipped with
the hardware to support it. You can select Both to allow TKIP clients and CCMP clients to
connect to the Access Point at the same time.
Group Rekey Interval: A group key is used for multicast/broadcast data, and the re-key
interval is time period that the system will change the group key periodically. The shorter
the interval is, the better the security is. The default is 300 sec.
