Wireless Authentication Type (Wireless Security Only)

This parameter sets the type of authentication to be performed with the network access point (Radius authentication server), or with a peer unit in Ad Hoc mode. The Serial Device Server supports Shared Key and Open System Authentication with WEP, and PSK, TLS, TTLS, LEAP and PEAP with WPA, WPA2, DYNAMIC WEP, and WPA2-WPA. Select the desired wireless authentication type on the Configure Network Security screen in the Serial Device Server internal web pages, or use the console command SET NW AUTHTYPE <type>, where <type> is OPEN, SHARED, TTLS, PEAP, WPA-PSK, LEAP, or TLS,.

NOTE: For FIPS 140-2 approved operation, this parameter must be TLS, PEAP or PSK

Wired Authentication Type (Wired Ethernet Networks Only)

This parameter sets the type of authentication to be performed with a Radius authentication server on a wired Ethernet network. The Serial Device Server supports TLS, TTLS, and PEAP authentication on these types of networks. Select the desired wired authentication type on the Configure Network Security screen in the Serial Device Server internal web pages, or use the console command SET NW ETHAUTH <type>, where <type> is TTLS, TLS or PEAP.

Authentication Attempts

This parameter sets the number of authentication attempts to make before the Serial Device Server assumes the network has no authentication. If zero (0) is entered, the Serial Device Server attempts to authenticate forever. Enter the number of authentication attempts on the Configure Network Security screen in the Serial Device Server internal web pages, or use the console command SET NW AUTHTRY n, where n is the number of attempts (default is 0).

User ID

This parameter is the logon user ID that the Serial Device Server uses to authenticate to the 802.1x- enabled network. The user ID and password must be in the authentication server database. The default user ID is 'anonymous'. Enter the user ID on the Configure Network Security screen in the Serial Device Server internal web pages, or use the console command SET NW ID <user id>, where <user id> is the user ID (the realm can included in the user id with the separator “@”).

Realm

A realm defines a grouping of users. If a realm is required for your network, it is separated from the user ID by a '@' character. Among other things, realms make it easier to segregate user groups into independently administered databases, to apply policies on a user group basis, and to establish roaming agreements. The default realm if not specified is 'anonymous'. Enter the realm on the Configure Network Security screen in the Serial Device Server internal web pages, or use the console command SET NW REALM <realm>, where <realm> is the name of the realm.

Password

This parameter is the logon password that the server uses to authenticate to the 802.1x-enabled network. The user ID and password must be in the authentication server database. The password may be a text string, or a string of hex bytes. Enter the password on the Configure Network Security screen in the Serial Device Server internal web pages, or use the console command SET NW PW <password>, where <password> is the password (default value is anonymous).

Authentication Protocol

This parameter determines how the server authenticates itself to the 802.1x-enabled network after an 802.1x session is established. The default is PAP; MSCHAP_V2 is the alternative protocol. Select the desired protocol on the Configure Network Security screen in the Serial Device Server internal web pages, or use the console command SET NW INAP <password>, where <password> is PAP or MSCHAP_V2.

Authentication Certificate

Authentication certificates are used by TLS and PEAP. You can manually enter the certificate information, or you can extract the Root Key and Root Key Exponent from a file on your disk. The required information is as follows:
