GL-1020 Administrator’s Guide 121

Open Authentication and Shared Key Authentication are the two
authentication modes. The access point and client authentication
modes must match for any communication to take place.
In Open Authentication mode, the AP verifies the client’s identity
regardless of the WEP key, thus the client and the AP will always
associate. Communication takes place only if the WEP keys of
the client and the AP match.
In Shared Key Authentication, the WEP key must match for the
AP to verify and communicate with the client.
SETTING UP A WIRELESS NETWORK USING THE CISCO NIC

Authentication Protocol (EAP).
Install the wireless NIC and press the
FACTORY DEFAULTS button
to initialize the GL-1020 for both the wireless and embedded
Ethernet NICs.
The
WIRELESS button on the copier’s LCD touch screen and the
wireless settings in TopAccess are only visible when the wireless
NIC is installed.
The following instructions assume that the controller has been
updated with the latest version of the software.
