Logging on to the wireless network with a WPA client using a certificate

WPA clients should now be able to connect to the access point using their TLS certificates. The certificate you installed is used when you connect, so you will not be prompted for login information. The certificate is automatically sent to the RADIUS server for authentication and authorization.

Configuring WPA-PSK security on a client

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) is a Wi-Fi Alliance subset of IEEE 802.11i, which includes Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES), and Counter mode/CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP) mechanisms. PSK employs a pre-shared key for an initial check of client credentials.

If you configured the Gateway 7001 AP to use WPA-PSK security mode, you must configure WPA-PSK security on each client.

To configure WPA-PSK security on each client:

1 On the Network Properties dialog box, select the Association tab. The Association dialog box opens.

2 Select WPA-PSKin the Network Authentication list, and TKIP or AES in the Data Encryption list, then enter a network key that matches the one specified on the access point (confirm by re-typing).

3 Click OK to close and save the settings.
