There must be at least one entry in the User Access List, which determines the
users that can associate with the access point.
Click Edit User Access List. In the User Access List page, user names are listed.
Scroll to the bottom of the list to perform the following actions:
To add a new user, click Add Users. In the next page, type the user name and
password in the spaces provided and click Apply.
To delete users, click Delete Users. In the next page, check the check boxes next to
the names to be deleted and click Apply.
To modify a password, click Change Password. In the next page, select the user
name from the pull-down list. Enter the new password in the spaces provided and
click Apply.
CONFIGURING ENCRYPTION
There are two types of data encryption available:
n WPA—Wi-Fi Protected Access.
n WEP—Wired Equivalent Privacy
The access point and the wireless devices must have the same encryption settings
to communicate. You can choose to allow only clients using WPA encryption, or you
can allow both WPA and WEP clients.
The following sections describe how to configure each type of encryption. When you
are finished configuring the encryption, click Apply.
WPA Configuration
To configure WPA encryption:
1 Under WPA Configuration, click the Required check box if you want to limit
access to clients using WPA encryption. If you also want to allow WEP clients, do
not check this box.
2 Select the Cipher Mode, which determines the method by which keys are
computed. WEP is the weakest Multicast Cipher Mode and is only provided for
support of legacy clients which do not fully support WPA. Clients associated with
WPA-TKIP will have unicast packets directed at them with corresponding
encryption keys. However, with WEP selected as the Cipher Mode, ALL multicast
traffic is sent out with WEP encryption. It is recommended to only select WEP as
the Cipher Mode if legacy client support is critical.
AES - Advanced Encryption Standard (Highest Security)
TKIP—(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key mixing, a
message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism
