Authentication can occur via the local user accounts and a remote authentication server
(Active Directory, or third-party RADIUS server). If both options are enabled, the local
accounts are checked first.
Preshared Key: The controller uses the key you specify in the Key field to generate the
TKIP keys that encrypt the wireless data stream. Since this is a static key, it is not as
secure as the RADIUS option. Specify a key that is between 8 and 63 alphanumeric
characters in length. It is recommended that the preshared key be at least 20 characters
long, and be a mix of letters and numbers. The double quote character (”) should not be
used.
Terminate WPA at the controller
This feature is intended for low throughput applications, such as supporting point of sale
(POS) terminals.
When enabled, the controller acts as the termination point for all WPA/WPA2 sessions.
This enables the network to meet PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance supporting
the connection of point of sale (POS) terminals.
