Also, WPA and WPA2 can be configured further in following modes:
Personal – This uses pre-shared keys (passphrases) configured on the MCR and client devices.
Enterprise – This supports EAP-TLS based authentication of client devices (configured with
certificates/keys) via RADIUS.
The default SSID is based on the unit’s serial number and takes the form of: GEMDS_<SERNUM> (the
serial number is printed on the chassis sticker). The default password for WiFi operation is
GEMDS_ORBIT.
