Installation and Configuration

ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP210

Network Authentication Settings

The access point is set by default as an open system with no authentication. When setting up

network authentication, bear in mind the following:

• If you are using access point mode, then all options are available. In other modes such as

repeater or bridge, some options might be unavailable.

• Not all legacy wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Windows XP and Windows 2000

with Service Pack 3 do include the client software that supports WPA. However, client

software is required on the client. Consult the product documentation for your wireless

adapter and WPA or WPA2 client software for instructions on configuring WPA2 settings.

You can configure the access point to use the types of network authentication shown in the

table.
