802.1x is an authentication for [WPA] and [WPA2] certificate to server. Show as
blow figure.
1. Authentication type:
①
. PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely
authentication data by using tunneling between PEAP clients and an
authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients using only
server-side certificates, thus simplifying the implementation and
administration of a secure wireless LAN.
②
. TLS／Smart Card: T ransport Layer S ecurity . Provides for certificate-based and
mutual authentication of the client and the network. It relies on client-side and
server-side certificates to perform authentication and can be used to
dynamically generate user-based and session-based WEP keys to secure
subsequent communications between the WLAN client and the access point.
Page 29
29 User Manual V1.0
③
. TTLS: Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This security method provides for
certificate-based, mutual authentication of the client and ne twork through an
encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS requires only server-side
certificates.
④
. LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is an EAP authentication
type used primarily in Cisco Aironet WLANs. It encrypts data transmissions
using dynamically generated WEP keys, and supports mutual authentication.
⑤
. MD5-Challenge: Message Digest Challenge. Challenge is an EAP
authentication type that provides base-level EAP support. It provides for only
one-way authentication - there is no mutual authentication of wireless client
and the network.
2. Session Resumption: user can choose “Disable” and “Enable”.
3. Identity and Password: Identity and password for server.
4. Use Client Certicate: Client Certicate for server authent icat ion.
5. Tunnel Authentication Protocol: Tunnel protocol, list information

6. Tunnel Identity: Identity for tunnel.
7. Tunne l Password: Password for tunnel.
Page 30
30 User Manual V1.0
2.5 CA Server Setting
Depending on the EAP in use, only the server or both the server and client may be
authenticated and require a certificate. Server certificates identify a server, usually
an authentication or RADIUS server to clients. Most EA Ps require a certificate issued
by a root authority or a trusted commercial CA. Show as the figure.
1. Certificate issuer: Choose use server that issuer of certificates.
2. Allow intimidate certificates: It must be in the server certificate chain bet ween
the server certificate and the server specified in the certificate issuer must be field.
3. Server name: Enter an authentication sever root.
