Specify the authentication method that is used to secure access to the Wi-Fi Hotspot. Depending on the method you choose,
a PSK Passphrase, WEP key, or password description field appears so that you can provide the credentials that are required
to connect to this Wi-Fi Hotspot.
The following authentication methods are available:
- EAP-FAST
-
(Extensible Authentication Protocol - Flexible Authentication through Secure Tunneling)
-
If you choose this method, the Wi-Fi client that is connecting to the Wi-Fi Hotspot must be configured with a valid username
and password.
- PEAP-MSCHAPV2
-
(Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol - Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol Version 2)
-
If you choose this method, the Wi-Fi client that is connecting to the Wi-Fi Hotspot must be configured with a valid username
and password.
- PEAP-GTC
-
(Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol - Generic Token Card)
-
If you choose this method, the Wi-Fi client that is connecting to the Wi-Fi Hotspot must be configured with a valid username
and password.
- WPA2-PSK
-
(Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)
-
This method uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. If you select this method, you must enter a passphrase, which
is an 8 to 63 ASCII character string or a 64 HEX character string.
- WPA-PSK
-
This method uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) encryption. If you select this method, you must enter a passphrase, which is an 8 to 63 ASCII character string or
a 64 HEX character string.
- WEP
-
(Wired Equivalent Privacy)
