6.9.3 Security Mode Guideline
The following is a general guideline in choosing the security mode for your NWA1121-NI.
• Use WPA(2)-PSK if you have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients but no RADIUS server.
• Use WPA(2) security if you have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients and a RADIUS server. WPA has
user authentication and improved data encryption over WEP.
• Use WPA(2)-PSK if you have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients but no RADIUS server.
• If you don’t have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients, then use WEP key encrypting. A higher bit key
offers better security. You can manually enter 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys.
More information on Wireless Security can be found in Appendix D on page 179.
