Option Description
EAP
Authentication Enables 802.1x authentication. Requires an IP
address and shared secret from an authentication
server on your network (serverauthentication port
1645). You do not need to enter a WEP key.
WPA and WPA2 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) permits wireless
access to users authenticated against a database
through the services of an authentication server,
and encrypts their IP traffic with stronger
algorithms than those used in WEP. As with EAP
authentication, you must enter the IP address and
shared secret for an authentication server on your
network (server authentication port 1645).
