Shared Key: Data encryption and key are required for wireless authentication.

access the wireless network and wired Ethernet. With User and PC identity, centralized
authentication as well as dynamic key management, it controls the security risk of wireless
network to the lowest. To serve the 802.1x, at least one EAP type should be supported by the
RADIUS Server, AP and wireless client.

authentication can be realized with specific RADIUS server. This is the common way to be
adopted in large enterprise network.
