Open

From the list, select one of the following:

 

Yes—Allows any device, regardless of its WEP

 

keys, to authenticate and attempt to associate. This is

 

the recommended setting.

 

No—Does not allow any device, regardless of its

 

WEP keys, to authenticate and attempt to associate.

 

 

Shared

From the list, select one of the following:

 

Yes—Tells the access point to send a plain-text,

 

shared key query to any device attempting to

 

associate with the access point. This query can leave

 

the access point open to a known-text attack from

 

intruders. This is not as secure as the Open setting.

plain-text, shared key query to any device attempting

 

to associate with the access point.

Open

From the list, select one of the following:

 

Yes—Use this option if you use open and EAP

 

authentication to block client devices that are not

 

using EAP from authenticating through the access

 

point.

 

No—Use this option if you do not use open and EAP

 

authentication.
