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.
It may be represented by "Smart Card or other certificate."
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 product has the function that changes and redistributes the WEP key periodically or in
seconds. Security can be enhanced by changing the WEP key in a short time. For details on the
setting method, see the following section.
