Configuring the authentication mechanism

5Select the appropriate encryption for the network. The type of encryption that can be used is dependent on the authentication type that was selected in step 4.

For Open:

•No Encryption

•WEP

For Shared:

•WEP

For WPA Personal:

•TKIP

For 802.1x–RADIUS:

•No Encryption

•WEP (dynamic keys)

•WEP (static keys)

•WPA-TKIP

6If 802.1x–RADIUS using EAP-TLS is the intended authentication type, a certificate request is needed to obtain a signed certificate for the device. For instructions on requesting a new signed certificate, see Creating a certificate request. If a different 802.1x–RADIUS authentication mechanism is used, skip to step 7.

7Configure authentication and encryption. If none of the following options are selected, continue to step 8.

If 802.1x–RADIUS was selected as the authentication type, click Configure Authentication, and follow the Configuring the authentication mechanism instructions.

If WPA Personal was selected as the encryption type, click Configure Encryption, and follow the Configuring WPA Personal encryption instructions.

If WEP or WEP (static keys) was selected as the encryption type, click Configure Encryption, and follow the Configuring WEP encryption instructions.
