Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure WEP settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless adapter to match the new settings or access the wireless access point from a wired computer to make any further changes.

Configuring WPA with RADIUS

Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or later do include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions on configuring WPA settings.

To configure WPA, follow these steps:

1.Under the Configuration tab, select Security on the main menu, select Advanced from the side menu, and then select RADIUS Server Settings. The RADIUS Server Settings screen displays.

2.Enter the RADIUS server settings as shown in “Configuring the RADIUS Server Settings” on page 4-13.

3.Click Apply to save your RADIUS server settings.
