Authentication

When encryption is enabled, this selection allows

 

you to choose one of the following authentication

 

methods from the drop-down list:

 

• Open System—Open system authentication

 

allows any device to authenticate and then

 

attempt to communicate with the WAP.

 

Communication occurs if both devices have

 

matching pre-configured WEP keys. Open

 

System authentication does not provide the

 

client with confirmation that the link has been

 

established. This makes it more difficult for a

 

hacker to access the network.

 

• Shared Key—During shared key authentication,

 

the WAP sends an unencrypted challenge text

 

string to any device attempting to communicate

 

with the WAP. The device requesting

 

authentication encrypts the challenge text and

 

sends it back to the WAP. If the challenge text is

 

encrypted correctly, the access point allows the

 

requesting device to authenticate. Shared key

 

authentication provides the client with feedback

 

when a link is denied where Open System

 

authentication does not.

 

• Open System or Shared Key—Either Open

 

System or Shared Key can associate with the

 

WAP and the WAP accepts data from wireless

 

clients using the appropriate form of

 

authentication.

Closed Network

Allows you to disable or enable the network to

 

access by wireless clients. When ON is selected, the

 

access point does not broadcast the SSID. The

 

client device must be configured manually with the

 

SSID and the MAC address of the access point in

 

order to access with wireless network.

Allow/Restrict

Enables unrestricted access or limits access to

Access

clients listed in the Access List

Access List

Displays the MAC address of the clients that are

 

allowed to access the wireless access point

Connected Clients

Displays the Host Name, IP Address, and Client ID

 

of wireless clients that are connected to (associated

 

with) the gateway modem
