6.9.3 Security Mode Guideline

The following is a general guideline in choosing the security mode for your NWA1121-NI.

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 or 128-bit WEP keys.

More information on Wireless Security can be found in Appendix D on page 179.
