Configuring WPA Security
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a strongly enhanced,
interoperable Wi-Fi security that addresses many of the
vulnerabilities of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Instead of
WEP, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for its
data encryption method.
Currently, WPA satisfies some of the requirements in the IEEE
802.11i draft standard. When the standard is finalized, WPA
will maintain forward compatibility. WPA runs in Enterprise
(802.1x) mode or PSK (Pre-Shared Key) mode:
• In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using
802.1x and the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).
That is, an authentication server (such as a RADIUS server)
must authenticate each device before the device can
communicate with the wireless network.
• In PSK mode, WPA provides user authentication using a
shared key between the access point and the CK30. WPA-
PSK is a good solution for small offices or home offices that
do not want to use an authentication server.
To use WPA security, you need:
• An authentication server (Enterprise mode only)
Note: You can also use a MobileLAN access point with
software release 1.80 or later as an authentication server. For
help, see the MobileLAN access System Manual (P/N 067150)
or MobileLAN access WA2X System Manual (P/N 073915).
• An access point with an 802.11b/g radio that supports WPA
