Toshiba Magnia Z300 - Manual (Page 77)

4.1 Overview
The 802.1X function restricts the connection of unauthorized stations by authenticating each station.
The 802.1X function has the following advantages in security and administration.
1. The function performs authentication when a stations wants to connect
and grants access only to stations that passed the authentication. This
function makes it difficult for an unauthorized station to get into the
network. Security
2. The function can dynamically distribute the WEP key. It enhances
security by periodically changing and distributing the WEP key.
Administration 3. Because the function dynamically distributes the WEP key, the WEP key
does not need to be set at each station.
Memo
Although several authentication methods are prepared, the WEP key cannot be distributed in some of those
methods.
