Logging on to the wireless network with a WPA client using a certificate

WPA clients should now be able to connect to the access point using their TLS certificates.
The certificate you installed is used when you connect, so you will not be prompted for
login information. The certificate is automatically sent to the RADIUS server for
authentication and authorization.

Configuring WPA-PSK security on a client

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) is a Wi-Fi Alliance subset of IEEE
802.11i, which includes Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Advanced Encryption
Algorithm (AES), and Counter mode/CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP) mechanisms. PSK
employs a pre-shared key for an initial check of client credentials.

If you configured the Gateway 7001 AP to use WPA-PSK security mode, you must configure
WPA-PSK security on each client.

To configure WPA-PSK security on each client:

1

On the Network Properties dialog box, select the

Association

tab. The Association dialog

box opens.

2

Select

WPA-PSK

in the Network Authentication list, and

TKIP

or

AES

in the Data

Encryption list, then enter a network key that matches the one specified on the access
point (confirm by re-typing).

3

Click

OK

to close and save the settings.
