LEPS can be used both locally in the device and centrally managed with a
RADIUS server. LEPS works with all WLAN client adapters available on the
market without any modification. Full compatibility to third-party products is
assured as LEPS only involves configuration in the access point.
Note: An additional security aspect: LEPS can also be used to secure single
point-to-point (P2P) connections with an individual passphrase. Even if an
access point in a P2P installation is stolen and the passphrase and MAC
address become known, all other WLAN connections secured by LEPS
remain secure, particularly when the ACL is stored on a RADIUS server.
U Configuration
The configuration of LEPS merely involves the assignment of an individual
passphrase to the MAC address of each client that is approved for the
WLAN. To this end, the MAC filter is set to positive, i.e. the data from clients
entered here will be transmitted.
Note: The passphrases should consist of a random string at least 22 charac-
ters long, corresponding to a cryptographic strength of 128 bits.
LANconfig
When using LANconfig for the configuration, you will find the list of stations
approved for the WLAN in the configuration area 'WLAN Security' on the 'Sta-
tions' tab under the button Stations.
