Security Settings - 802.1x
This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data encryption. If possi-
ble, you should use WPA-802.1x instead, because WPA encryption is much stronger than
WEP encryption.
If this option is selected:
• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server. Normally, a Certificate is used to
authenticate each user. See Chapter4 for details of user configuration.
• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x.
• All data transmission is encrypted using the WEP standard. You only have to select the
WEP key size; the WEP key is automatically generated.
