Configuring 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 WPA2 standard if it is supported by all components in your wireless net- work. 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 that conforms to the con- ventions of the RADIUS servers that the server is to use for authentication.

ìClick OK to apply the settings.
