Authentication Type: There are seven type of
authentication modes including Open, Shared, Leap,
WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-None.
Open: If your access point/wireless router is using
"Open” authentication, then the wireless adapter will
need to be set to the same authentication type.
Shared: Shared Key is when both the sender and the
recipient share a secret key.
LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is
an EAP authentication type used primarily in Cisco
Aironet WLANs. It encrypts data transmissions using
dynamically generated WEP keys, and supports mutual
authentication (only with CCX mode enabled.)
WPA-PSK: WPA-PSK offers two encryption
methods, TKIP and AES. Select the type of algorithm,
- 18 -
TKIP or AES and then enter a WPA Shared Key of
8-63 characters in the WPA Pre-shared Key field.
Encryption Type: For open and shared authentication
mode, the selection of encryption type are None and WEP.
For WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK
authentication mode, the encryption type supports both
TKIP and AES.
WPA Pre-shared Key: This is the shared secret between
AP and STA. For WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK
authentication mode, this field must be filled with
character longer than 8 and less than 32 length.
WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption
algorithm. The key must match with the AP’s key. There
are several formats to enter the keys.
Hexadecimal (40bits): 10 Hex characters.
Hexadecimal (128bits): 32Hex characters.
ASCII (40bits): 5 ASCII characters.
ASCII (128bits): 13 ASCII characters.
Show Password: Check this box to show the password
you entered.

mode.
802.1x tab:
- 19 -
EAP Method:
PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol.
PEAP transport securely authentication data by using
tunneling between PEAP clients and an authentication
server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients
using only server-side certificates, thus simplifying
the implementation and administration of a secure
wireless LAN.
TLS / Smart Card: Transport Layer Security.
Provides for certificate-based and mutual
authentication of the client and the network. It relies
on client-side and server-side certificates to perform
authentication and can be used to dynamically
generate user-based and session-based WEP keys to
secure subsequent communications between the
WLAN client and the access point.
TTLS: Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This
security method provides for certificate-based, mutual
authentication of the client and network through an
- 20 -
encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS
requires only server-side certificates.
EAP-FAST: Flexible Authentication via Secure
Tunneling. It was developed by Cisco. Instead of
using a certificate, mutual authentication is achieved
by means of a PAC (Protected Access Credential)
which can be managed dynamically by the
authentication server. The PAC can be provisioned
(distributed one time) to the client either manually or
automatically. Manual provisioning is delivery to the
client via disk or a secured network distribution
method. Automatic provisioning is an in-band, over
the air, distribution. For tunnel authentication, only
support "Generic Token Card" authentication now.
MD5-Challenge: Message Digest Challenge.
Challenge is an EAP authentication type that provides
base-level EAP support. It provides for only one-way
authentication - there is no mutual authentication of
wireless client and the network.
Tunnel Authentication:
Protocol: Tunnel protocol, List information including
EAP-MSCHAP v2, EAP-TLS/Smart card, and
Generic Token Card.
