6.2.4.4. WPA Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access & 802.1x)
Select the WPA-Enterprise radio button if your wireless network uses WPA encryption. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was
designed to improve upon 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.
This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless clients should have established the necessary
credentials before attempting to authenticate to the Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary to configure the
RADIUS Server to allow this Gateway to authenticate users.
