Chapter 2 — Configuring the CK30
Configuring 802.1x Security
802.1x security provides centralized user authentication using an authentication server, authenticators (access points), and supplicants. These components communicate using an EAP authentication type, such as TLS (Transport Layer Security) or PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). 802.1x security provides data encryption using dynamic WEP key management.
To use 802.1x security, you need:
• An authentication server
Note: You can also use a MobileLAN access point with software release 1.80 or later as an authentication server. For help, see the MobileLAN access System Manual (P/N 067150).
•An access point with an 802.11b/g radio
•A CK30 with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA security option
To enable 802.1x security on your CK30
1Press Cand then Bto open the System Main Menu.
2Choose Configuration Utility > Communications > 802.11 Radio > Security.
