WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater

security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.

WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK - This method, sometimes called "Mixed Mode",

allows clients to use EITHER WPA-PSK (with TKIP) OR WPA2-PSK (with AES).

WPA with Radius - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN

to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data trans-
missions are encrypted using the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:
• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data

when required.

• All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are auto-

matically generated, so no key input is required.

WPA2 with Radius - This version of WPA2 requires a Radius Server on your

LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data
transmissions are encrypted using the WPA2 standard.
If this option is selected:
• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using

digital certificates.

• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius au-

thentication data when required.

• All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA2 standard. Keys are auto-

matically generated, so no key input is required.

WPA and WPA2 with Radius - EITHER WPA or WPA2 require a Radius Server

on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard.
Data transmissions are encrypted using EITHER WPA or WPA2 standard.
If this option is selected:
• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must authenticate on the Radius Server. This is usually done using

digital certificates.

• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the Radius au-

thentication data when required.

• All data transmission is encrypted using EITHER WPA or WPA2 standard.

Keys are automatically generated, so no key input is required.

802.1x - This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data

encryption.
If this option is selected:
• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data

when required.

• All data transmission is encrypted using the WEP standard. You only have to

select the WEP key size; the WEP key is automatically generated.
