Table 103 Configuration items
Item Description
Authentication Type
Link authentication method, which can be:
• Open-System—No authentication. With this authentication mode enabled,
all the clients can pass the authentication.
• Shared-Key—The two parties need to have the same shared key configured
for this authentication mode. You can select this option only when WEP
encryption mode is used.
• Open-System and Shared-Key—It indicates that you can select both
open-system and shared-key authentication.
IMPORTANT:
WEP encryption can be used together with open system and shared-key
authentication.
• Open system authentication—When this authentication mode is used, a
WEP key is used for encryption only. If the two parities do not use the same
key, a wireless link can still be established, but all data is discarded.
• Shared-key authentication—When this authentication mode is used, a
WEP key is used for both authentication and encryption. If the two parties
do not use the same key, the client cannot pass the authentication, and thus
cannot access the wireless network.
Cipher Suite
Encryption mechanisms supported by the wireless service, which can be:
• AES-CCMP—Encryption mechanism based on the AES encryption
algorithm.
• TKIP—Encryption mechanism based on the RC4 algorithm and dynamic
key management.
• AES-CCMP and TKIP—It indicates that you can select both AES-CCMP and
TKIP encryption.
