WPA2

‘WPA Pre-authentication’ support in WPA2 allows a client to pre-authenticate with the NB9W toward which it is moving, while maintaining a connection to the access point it’s moving away from. This new capability allows the roaming to occur in less than 1/10th of a second while a traditional roam without PMK caching and pre-authentication would take more than one second. Time-sensitive applications like Citrix, video, or VoIP will all break without fast roaming.

‘Network Re-Auth Interval’ is the interval specified (seconds) that the wireless client needs to re-authenticate with the NB9W.

For the remainder of the fields required, see above.

WPA2-PSK:

Same as WPA-PSK, but you can only use AES with WPA2

 

and not WPA.

Mixed WPA2/WPA:

Enables WPA2 or WPA wireless clients to connect to the

 

NB9W. Requires a RADIUS server to authenticate the

 

wireless clients.

Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK:

Enables WPA2 and WPA clients to authenticate using a PSK

 

(Pre-Shared Key) instead of a RADIUS server.
