8.5 Technical Reference

This section provides technical background information on the topics discussed in this chapter.

The following is a general guideline in choosing the security mode for your NWA.

•Use WPA(2)-PSK if you have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients but no RADIUS server.Use WPA(2) security if you have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients and a RADIUS server. WPA has user authentication and improved data encryption over WEP.

•Use WPA(2)-PSK if you have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients but no RADIUS server.

•If you don’t have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients, then use WEP key encrypting. A higher bit key offers better security. You can manually enter 64-bit, 128-bit or 152-bit WEP keys.

More information on Wireless Security can be found in Appendix E on page 191.
