Security Settings - 802.1x

This uses the 802.1x standard for client authentication, and WEP for data 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.
