Configuring the Advanced Settings

WPA and WPA2 with authentication server

In large networks (e.g. in companies) WPA enables the use of an additional authentication service. In this case, user access is controlled by user accounts and passwords, in addition to WPA encryption. A RADIUS server acts as an authentication server. You can select the new standard WPA2 if this is supported by all components in your wireless network, or select WPA2 / WPA if you are using devices that only support WPA.

ìSelect the required option in the Security field.

ìEnter the IP address of the RADIUS server in the RADIUS server IP address field.

ìEnter the port of the RADIUS server in the RADIUS server port field.

ìIn the RADIUS server secret key field, enter a keyword conforming to the conven- tions of the RADIUS server, which is to be used by the server for authentication.

ìClick on OK to apply the settings.
