ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N

Table 29. Add Wireless Profiles screen settings (continued)

Setting	Description
SSID	The wireless network name (SSID) for the wireless profile. The default SSID
	name is FVS318N_1. You can change this name by entering up to
	32 alphanumeric characters. Make sure that additional SSIDs have unique
	names.
Broadcast SSID	Select the check box to enable the wireless VPN firewall to broadcast its SSID,
	allowing wireless stations that have a null (blank) SSID to adopt the wireless
	VPN firewall’s SSID. To prevent the SSID from being broadcast, clear the check
	box.
Security	Note: Before you configure security, you might want to read Wireless Data
	Security Options on page 111.
	Specify the wireless security by making a selection from the drop-down list:
	• OPEN. This is the default setting. An open system has no authentication and
	no encryption, and therefore no security configuration. However, you can use
	an open system with encryption. To do so, select WEP from the Security
	drop-down list. In the WEP Index and Keys section of the screen, take the
	following steps:
	- Select Open System authentication.
	- Select the encryption.
	- Enter a passphrase and generate a key, or enter a key manually.
	• WEP. To configure WEP, take the following steps in the WEP Index and Keys
	section of the screen:
	- Select Shared Key authentication.
	- Select the encryption.
	- Enter a passphrase and generate a key, or enter a key manually.
	• WPA. To configure WPA, select the encryption and authentication. The
	remaining configuration depends on the selected authentication:
	- For WPA-PSK, select a password.
	- For WPA with RADIUS, configure the RADIUS server settings.
	- For WPA with PSK+RADIUS, select a password and configure the
	RADIUS server settings.
	• WPA2. To configure WPA2, select the encryption and authentication. The
	remaining configuration depends on the selected authentication:
	- For WPA2-PSK, select a password.
	- For WPA2 with RADIUS, configure the RADIUS server settings. As an
	option, you can enable RADIUS preauthentication.
	- For WPA2 with PSK+RADIUS, select a password and configure the
	RADIUS server settings. As an option, you can enable RADIUS
	preauthentication.
	• WPA+WPA2. To configure WPA, select the encryption and authentication.
	The remaining configuration depends on the selected authentication:
	- For WPA+WPA2 with PSK, select a password.
	- For WPA+WPA2 with RADIUS, configure the RADIUS server settings.
	- For WPA+WPA2 with PSK+RADIUS, select a password and configure the
