4.2.2.2 Authentication type
Several types of authentication are prepared. The radio LAN station and RADIUS server need to predetermine
which type of authentication to use mutually. If different types of authentication are set, the authentication
procedure cannot be performed and the authentication of the station fails. Whether the WEP key can be
distributed depends on the authentication type.
The following lists the typical types of authentication.
Name Description
MD5-Challenge Authentication method using the user name and password
In this type of authentication, the WEP key cannot be distributed.
EAP-TLS
Authentication method using a digital certificate. “Smart Card or other
certificate” may represent it.
To use this type of authentication, the certificate needs to be obtained from the
CA and stored in each station.
In this type of authentication, the WEP key can be distributed.
4.2.2.3 Distribution of WEP key
When authentication ends successfully, the access point distributes the WEP key to the station. (Whether the
WEP key can be distributed depends on the authentication type.)
When the WEP key is created at random by the access point.
This software can change the WEP key automatically and redistribute it periodically to the clients. Changing
the WEP key in a short time can enhance security. For details on the setting method, see the following section.
