6.9 Security Modes and Wireless Client Compatibility

Different security modes can be configured for each SSID. However, not all security modes are compatible with the security mode of the wireless client. The following table shows combinations of security modes between a Windows XP wireless client and the ZyAIR. Combinations of security modes not marked with a “O” or not listed may not be able to make a connection using the SSID. Other wireless clients such as Funk Odyssey may connect using a security combination not listed on the table.

6.10 Wireless Client WPA Supplicants

A wireless client supplicant is the software that runs on an operating system instructing the wireless client how to use WPA. At the time of writing, the most widely available supplicant is the WPA patch for Windows XP, Funk Software's Odyssey client, and Meetinghouse Data Communications' AEGIS client.

The Windows XP patch is a free download that adds WPA capability to Windows XP's builtin "Zero Configuration" wireless client. However, you must run Windows XP to use it.
